674867	2008-06-02 04:16:00	I have XP Home sp3 on a home pc with 1 administrator user account and 4 resticted user accounts. When I try to Logon to my administrator account I get this Logon Message "The system cannot log you on due to the following error. Unable to repeat the requested operation because of either a catastrophic media failure or a data corruption on the disk." Back at the Logon screen get " Did you forget your password" None of the restricted accounts has this problem. 2 have passwords 2 dont. This happened about a year ago and I did a clean reinstal which lasted until about 3 weeks ago. I did another clean reinstal and disk check with no bad sectors or disk errors but back to the same problem. I tried Safe Mode but still unable to log onto the Administrator or my own account. My files are hidden from the other users and i cant instal or delete any programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. XP Home sp3, Avg free 8, Zonealarm free	fuzzee (13826)

If you google "catastrophic media failure or a data corruption on the disk" you will see a reference to curing a problem similar to yours. But seeing this is the 3rd time you have had it you will also have to find what or who is causing it. I see you have at least 5 users for this system but as it is only with your account chances are it is you that is doing/causing it. I don't know if this is any help to you, someone else may add some more to this now.	Driftwood (5551)
