W2K Server SP4 Bootex.log

All

C:\bootex.log is a 0 byte file that chkdsk can't delete when the

server boots. Q218461 describes enhanced chkdesk and all that but

doesn't specifically address what to do in this situation. I found a

tip for XP that looks promising, but don't know if it applies to W2K

The fix is to run under the Recovery console by either booting from

the Windows XP CD or running \i386\winnt32.exe on the Windows XP CD

with the argument /cmdcons. When in the console, run chkdsk.exe /p to

fix the file. Then type del c:\bootex.log to remove the offending

file. Reboot, and all is taken care of.

My idea is to boot into Safe Mod and try to delete it, or install

MoveOnBoot, a freeware util that does just what the name implies, but

these cowboy moves are a lst resort on this sunny Friday.

Suggestions welcome
