Hello
Thank You for all your help.
There was knoppix launched, so i need to run M$ installation disk to
check disk.
There was couple of 'Unexpected reboots', so Filesystem may be a bit
corrupt.
I need to go to office, and do it over there, everything else i did
remotely.
I'll lunch Windows XP Installation disk, and run  'chkdsk /F /V'.
After everything I'll write back.
Bye
