Below is some details about the machine.

  OS version:                    Windows Vista Home Premium
  OS service pack:               Service Pack 2
  OS region:                     United States
  OS language:                   German
  OS architecture:               x86

C drive has 200GB+ free space and is formatted with 'Allocation unit size' = 4096 bytes

Also, chkdsk initially found a file system problem but it had been fixed by running the 'chkdsk /F' command.

Thanks,

Kevin
