Yes, also tried to boot to last known config that worked, all froze.

I was even patient, left it for an hour in case it took a while to sort itself out, still no joy.

Safe mode freezes part way through the list of drivers, all other boot options freeze on the mainly black XP splash screen.

Are there any disk check options with Knoppix, to check for corrupt files?

With thanks
