Perfect. That's exactly what I'm going to do (unless someone
comes up with a really good reason why I shouldn't.) I'm
going to run SCANDISK. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
(The truth be known, I totally forgot that SCANDISK even existed.)
If it doesn't, I'm going to re-format the partition (without /S)
and put the system files on it. Hopefully, I will be able to boot
it. Assuming that's the case, I'll copy the files from the
mirrored partition on my primary drive and that should be the
end of the problem.
Thanks for the input.
