Well, if you're files are corrupted, it's likely the backup routine will fail again.
Are you that hesitant to let chkdsk run & give you a report? ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Webber To: ThinkPad List Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2010 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] T41p: "Windows Corrupt File" message I've since clarified (i.e. been informed) that there are actually 2 different errors. I thought it was all one error. Of course they may be (probably are?) related. While I couldn't find anything searching fro the literal string of "The file or directory C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution is", when I google the literal string "Exception Processing Message C0000102" I get a bunch of hits, including this http://forums.techarena.in/windows-update/841719.htm Only problem is that I think the backup was interrupted by this error coming again. I'm going to try a much more restricted backup and then run the chkdsk. If anyone here has more or better info, I'll be happy to try something else.
