Hi

An Windows XP Pro PC at my site is currently experiencing major problems.

1. Upon booting the PC I am told that there is a critical error on one one of drives.
2. Drives C and D (both HD's) on my PC have now both been mirrored as drives G and H, without my knowledge.
3. The PC is radamonly crashing at various stages once I am in Windows. It appears to be caused by a sysdata.xml that is on my C drive.

Browsing the net I have found many forums commenting on the sysdata.xml file with the general opinion being to replace the HD, as formatting and/or delting the file makes no difference.

Does anyone have any suggestions or information as to how this file found its way onto my PC and what I can do next.

All replies welcome.

Regards

CRML
