Total shutdown of my computer. When I brought it back up message it had recovered from a serious error. The error is attributed to the Intel Storage Driver (IdeChnDr.sys) According to Microsoft this product is no longer supported. I may have been my fault as I was using a book from 2003 for Windows XP Timesaving Techniques. Therefore, in 2003 there was no known problem and installed a bad driver. Guess I had better get a more up-to-date Windows XP book.
