Multiple unexpected MFT files
Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2010 6:46 pm
First post from me. I apologize in advance for my ignorance.
I have had R-Tools for many years, and I have used it sucessfully several times to recover files. I have also used it unsucessfully, but that's another story. My current situation involves "inaccessible boot device" blue screen errors on W2K. I can boot the same computer (it's dual boot) onto Windows XP and run R-tools on the boot drive for W2K. It finds "multiple unexpected MFT files". It also finds quite a few unexpected recognized partitions. Some red, some orange, some green. I'd basically like to delete them all and see if that helps. Will <right click> <delete> actually delete these particitions? Is this a good idea? Got any other ideas? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Robert Wichert
