I can't speak for GP, but in my case, I'd run chkdisk or possibly "reimage" the thing. And when I say "reimage" I mean that I'd run an XCOPY script I had that copied the last known-good backup from a Novell share, after which I'd boot from a DOS floppy and do a sys c: I eventually made a batch file called 'fix' that would do the more common fixes and had them run that without bothering me.

Novel network share brings back memories :) I had a machine hosting it, with dead BIOS battery. Every time it restarts, date/time had to be adjusted. Luckily, as I had already been fiddling with Turbo Pascal at the time, I made a tool to prompt the user to enter the date/time and have put it in autoexec.bat to run before NetWare does. Worked :) I used to hate it though, as I was dealing with it at the time when Windows Server was already becoming standard in the enterprise environment.
