The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Scandisk fixed files, now renaming DIR00001-->etc., can't get into Windows

Asked by w3x in Windows 95 and 3.x

Tags: dir00001

ScanDisk runs on my Win95 box when booting, and it lists some errors, some in "C:\windows\inf" and some in other directories. Eventually it gets through them all and I let ScanDisk "fix" the problem, and then it started to scan the drive again. This time it is reporting directories like DIR00001, DIR00002, etc. and after like DIR00004 I stopped letting ScanDisk "fix" lest I zero out my entire drive.

However, when I quit ScanDisk prematurely it won't let me boot into Windows. It says "You may now safely turn off your computer. Press CNTL-ALT-DEL to restart". What is going on? If I let ScanDisk go through the DIR0000x directories, am I going to lock myself out of Windows? Is my hard drive dying, and if so, I'd like to get in and transfer important files before it dies!

Thanks!
