sheesh. I wish I could proofread. This should have read "boot to a
maintenance volume."

Well sorta. You did take significant poetic license, but you don't seem
to have made anything worse. You certainly did nothing close to what I
suggested.

I had reasons for not attempting to run Incharge during the move, but oh
well.

For those reading along, I generally recommend against running /F:3. It
usually causes more problems than it solves.

I assume you mean the Incharge data backup?

OK.

One other possibility is that there is something corrupted in the Incharge
INI file data. None of this should cause ring 0 kernel traps, but one
never knows.

What you might try after you try my original suggestions is to use
Unimaint to deletet the Restoreback key from the Incharge application.
The key data contains some screen specific data that could possibly cause
problems if corrupted.

You might also try Unimaint's EA Test feature on the Incharge directory
tree. It may or may not find EA problems chkdsk misses.

Regards,

Steven
