my xp install is apparently hopelessly corupt. happened with no warning
and for what reason i do not know. just about every program i try to
start comes back with an error message 'the file or directory
c/windows/system/blah/blah is corrupt and unreadbale. please run
chkdsk'. Most progrmas end up woring just the same but now i lost my
internet connection. i tried system restore but that is also corrupt, it
runs but when i click next it does nothing.
So befoe i reintall windows i waned to run chkdsk. I booted from the
install cd and went to the option for chkdsk, it then asks me for my
passowrd. i type the same password i have been using for years as
administrator and it says wrong pasword.
So i boot back to windows and try to change my pasword it says windows
cant do it. tried to delete passowrd same thing.
So does anyone know why the password which i use to log on as
administrator is not being accepted in the boot cd ?

I did run some hardware diagnostics on my hard drives and they both
passed so I am asuming this is not a hardware issue.

Thank you for the 2 replys for your info my computer is porn less.
So here is what i did I did hit blank instead of a passowrd and it worked
[figured it out all by myself] so it ran chkdsk, it said it found errors
does it automaticaly fix them ?
So I rebooted and now the constant corrupt mesages stopped, it let me run
sys restore but when it reboots is said this restore point could not be
loaded, try another ? So I tried 3 of them none of them would work.
My computer seems to be functioning almost normal, my only problem is still
no internet connection [i am on my wireless laptop now which explain my
poor typing]. I am going to try a power cycle later with my modem and
router and see if that helps if it does not I am stuck.
Any program which uses the internet says no connection and my computer is
not visible on the network, i might be screwed but oh well at least i still
got this laptop for my cyber connection hopefully that does not go out next
.
