Checkdisk found some errors on my hard disk yesterday and went ahead and 
repaired them. The only problem is it didn't repair the errors it made them 
even worse, the end result was I had to reinstall everything :-(  not a nice 
way to spend the weekend but still at least my system should run OK untill the
next crosslinked file chkdsk finds.......
