Damaged XP's recovery from Hibernation?

[Guest Richard]

Hi All,

 

I'm an avid fan of hibernation. I powering up a computer from a

hibernation state is so much faster than allowing a re-boot.

 

Today, however, I managed to screw up my recover. I keep an external

hard-drive off-line (merely by keeping it switched off) except when I

want to back-up or recover something from it. I switched it on today

to either before or while I was recovering from hibernation.

 

The adverse symptom I got was that AVG Free Edition's Control Center

reports on component "Anti-Virus" that "Component is registered

correctly however determining status failed with error code

0x81000002."

 

More significantly, running selected test reports read-errors on a

slew of things, e.g. Partition table, Boot sector and DLLs: kernel,

user32, etc.

 

Except for AVG's heartburn, my system seems to running fine. Any

recommendations as to how I should proceed? I'm inclined to think I

should just assume XP really is fine and merely un-/re-install AVG to

get anti-virus protection working again.
