I have a new system running XP PRO w. SP2 patch installed, 180GB harddrive formatted with 2 equal NTSF partitions -- C: holds XP & all the apps, D: holds my data files. I have 1GB RAM. I'm almost finished xferring apps & data from old to new computer. As I Copy/Paste the last significant folder tree of files (jpg files) from CD drive into D:'s folder hierarchy & begin opening each added folder & jpg in turn, at some point Windows Expl freezes: (a) "Windows Explorer has experienced a problem & must close." OR (b) The instruction at "0x7c93426d" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be read." OR Windows Explorer just disappears w/o message. When I drag the suspect folder or file higher in Window Expl's folder hierarchy, no problem opening! But another "lower-down" folder or file will freeze W.E. Is there some setting that needs adjusting-- related to folders or hierarchy? Also, if you think it's "corruption," what exactly gets corrupted? the Registry? If I must re-format something, I'm just hoping it's only partition D: & not the entire harddrive... any suggestions or help appreciated!
