I have a similar problem, the desktop I have has crashed several times, with
the most recent failure causing me to use my startup disk. Originally I
purchased my desktop three years ago and purchased "ME". Several problems
arose so I purchased XP upgrade. When my system crashs I get an error message
indicating a problem with my FAT 32 file.
