Just had a user whose laptop will boot but only to a command prompt as the c:\windows had only a few files and no directories left. Now one of the files is RGDB and is 4 gig in size! Anyone have an idea on what happened? System was working fine, tried to install DUN, and this happened on reboot. Virus scan is clean.

Obviously the only fix is to reload, but man that sucks. What is DUN? Which version of Windows were you running? Did you virus scan DUN? It's possible it triggered drive compression but how do you undo that without the operating system there? Howmuch space do you have left?
Good Luck

Don't know what to tell you. What version of windows did the user have? Rgdb files are usually used in linux/unix environments (registration database). Did the user have another operating system on the laptop or did he/she try to install one of these? Was the dun plain windows or some specialty version?

Post back.

The OS was Windows 98SE with no other system loaded. The Dial Up Networking was from the Win98SE CD.
