| 704714 | 2008-09-14 07:44:00 | Its didn't work- the after restarting it didn't run check disk. I will get a Vista CD tommorow. Will it help? |

| 704715 | 2008-09-14 08:25:00 | Dunno - the recovery section of Vista is the same as the vista recovery CD iso you downloaded - so it prob wont make much difference. As mentioned a couple of times - the only Way I have found to fix it was either slave to another PC or complete reinstall. Unless the DVD you get allows it to do a repair install. |

| 704716 | 2008-09-14 08:35:00 | I'l try that repair install thing tommorow | Blam (54) | ||
| 704717 | 2008-09-14 08:39:00 | With nothing to do, I decided to do a scan with the Avast! BART CD and picked up a Win32:VB-EHG[trj] called C:\pagefile.sys. Is this really a virus? I will remove it when the scan has finished |

| 704718 | 2008-09-14 09:11:00 | C:\pagefile.sys is a legit hidden system file - its your paging file. It may be a bug masquerading as the paging file, but be careful if you delete it - might make matters worse if its the legit file.. |

| 704719 | 2008-09-14 09:12:00 | so..should I remove it? Avast thinks its a virus |

| 704720 | 2008-09-14 09:28:00 | You can try, but if it doesnt boot after. Altho you maybe able to recreate it (hopefully), if it works |

| 704721 | 2008-09-14 09:28:00 | I wouldn't remove it. Have a look at This forum (forumserver.twoplustwo.com) - look at #3 - seems a few people are getting that report from Avast - I dont actually Use avast so I cant say I 've ever come across it - I use Nod32. Also in that link theres another link in #3 Googled around a bit, leads to the Avast Web Forum. |

| 704722 | 2008-09-14 09:41:00 | Depending on whether Avast is up to date, it may also be a false positive. Some sites do say however, that it is safe to delete it and it'll be recreated |

| 704723 | 2008-09-14 09:47:00 | Whats the chance it'll be recreated? Can I recover it with a Vista DVD? |
