Ghost has arrived.
The next hurtle is that in the preparation I decided to simply copy off to 
another drive my extensive My Documents folder. I kept an offline copy of a 
website that seems to have grown a series of folders which tend to crash 
windows explorer. The folders can be renamed, they currently reside as a 12 
deep nest of "bad". Intuition is telling me that it would be a bad idea to 
try to clone this drive with the error in place. Command line or safe mode 
will not allow a delete either. Scan Disk and Chkdsk don't appear to exist 
with XP.

I am considering giving Knoppix a try but I don't want to do that until I 
have a chunk of time to regenerate the system if needed.

Have I missed something?
