- [after downloading a GIF viewer, the system crashed and now reports a
- 'drive c write protected' when booting]
-
- You are running Stacker, and this message DOES come from stacker. When
- a system crashes, that has a Stacker drive mounted, some allocation
- errors can occur on the Stacker drive. If these cannot be fixed
- automatically when booting, Stacker write protects the drive that has
- the error. Note that drive C in Your case is NOT the physical drive C,
- but rather the drive that Stacker has compressed. Your physical C:
- drive is called D:.
-
- Solution: Run SCHECK to repair the Stacker drive, possibly also CHKDSK
- /F. Reboot, and You should be running fine.
