If this is'nt the cause a new memory stick might fix it.
Bad memory can cause these types of problems and some of your error messages refer to memory.

263475 2004-08-22 23:40:00 Teldave, thanks for that suggestion, I will get the son-in-law to do the "pulling", the only time I saw this done was on an old 286 and the serviceman of all people didn't earth himself, gives off quite a spark eh.
That was on Company PC.

Will send Posts over to s-i-l as this appears to be a more drastic fault than the previous ones. Boys' at the age of these 2 shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a PC!.

263476 2004-08-22 23:52:00 Graham, have tried the latter options of your post: the Sys C: was one of the first attempts I had made.

The Cab file came up with a few details, Volumes etc., a very large file 5mg almost.

The last phrase reads:

data error reading drive C
Abort, Retry, Fail?
Retried 5 times
Fail= Fail on Int 24.

Thanks to all replies, will get the son-in-law to pull the back off.

Believe it or not he works for Switchtec now called Powerware.
