    I find that the biggest issue I have with Edge is that it tries to keep everything that you had last time to ‘speed browsing’. The problem with this method is that errors and problems come back as well. The first thing I do is to close the browser (Edge) in all instances (it will not work if you keep one page open and close only other(s)) and reopen it. If that does not work I do these in order:
    Go to Settings, Advanced Settings and ‘Choose What to Clear’, select all except Passwords and OK it.
    Close Browser.
    Click on the search area and type ‘My PC’ or ‘My Computer’ and select My PC
    Right click on your C drive and select Properties.
    Select ‘Disk Clean Up’
    Place checks on all or nearly all and OK, then OK (this can take a while)
    When finished, Start>Shut Down>Restart (Important to use Restart, not turning off and starting because this clears many more things).

    At home I prefer Firefox.

    You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

  6. Look up at the top, right under the area where it says "What's On Your Mind" it will say "Sort". Click on that and make sure it's sorting my Most Recent.

    Correct me when I misunderstand your intentions as to recover the data on at least 5 (maybe 6) drives. Now I start the 20 questions thing.

    The boot drive was the only problem…all the rest of the drives are OK?

    You probably have data on the failed boot drive you want to recover?

    Do you have the key for the XP Pro installation on the failed boot drive?

    Do you have access to a good working machine running XP or later?

    …where I’m going with this:

    You should only need a good hdd and an installation of XP to get your pc up and running. Assuming your other hdd’s are OK, all the data on those drives should be good to go.

    If the failed drive works, a USB adapter something like this one would allow you to recover your pics, music, documents, etc.

    Your DOS odyssey will take you places you don’t want to go traveling the FAT16, FAT32 road and trying to recover NTFS drive files.

    My guess is, at worst, you need a new boot drive, a XP install cd, and a few hours jof your time.

    Fair to say it also ouccurs with Mac systems too; although (at least for me) by no means as often with windows.

    Have tried contacting MS to see what they say or offer by way of resolution?

    Either way, it will take a fair bit of time. One scanner will not be enough.

    Here is where I would start.

    Run ESET Online Scanner. Copy and Paste the contents of the log in your reply please. This scan may take a very long while, so please be patient. Maybe start it before going to work or bed.
    Make sure these options are checked/ticked in Advanced settings.

    Remove found threats, Scan archives, Scan for potentially unsafe applications, Enable Anti-Stealth technology.

    If your comp is unbootable, or won’t let you download, you will have to download ESET from a good computer, put it on a flash/thumb/pen/usb drive & run it from there.

    My ESET product detected a threat—what should I do?
    http://support.eset.com/kb117/
    Once onto a machine, malware can disable antivirus programs, prevent antimalware programs from downloading updates, or prevent a user from running antivirus scans or installing new antivirus software or malware removal tools. At this point even though you are aware the computer is infected, removal is very difficult.
    5: Why does the ESET Online Scanner run slowly on my computer?
    http://support.eset.com/kb405/?view…
    If you have other antivirus, antispyware or anti-malware programs running on your computer, they may intercept the scan being performed by the ESET Online Scanner and hinder performance. You may wish to disable the real-time protection components of your other security software before running the ESET Online Scanner. Remember to turn them back on after you are finished.
    17: How can I view the log file from ESET Online Scanner?
    http://support.eset.com/kb405/?view…
    The ESET Online Scanner saves a log file after running, which can be examined or sent in to ESET for further analysis. The path to the log file is “C:\Program Files\ESET\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt” (on 64-bit systems this directory will be “C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\Esetonlinescanner\log.txt”). You can view this file by navigating to the directory and double-clicking it in Windows Explorer, or by copying and pasting the path specification above (including the quotation marks) into the Start > Run dialog box from the Start Menu on the Desktop.
    If no threats are found, you will simply see an information window that no threats were found.
