Stop error screen

The chkdsk /r fixed the problem.
If that hadn't worked I was going to try Fixboot because of the info found
here

After installing the backup from XP disk (home edition) found out I could
not copy directly to CD-RW drive.
(why not?)
I temporarily installed another HD and backed up to it.

Hi,

Glad it's working. Also, the XP backup utility does not support burning
backups directly to CDR/RW.

Sometimes chkdsk /r alone will fix this, sometimes it requires fixboot as well.
