On Feb 16 I ran disk cleanup for all users. I normally do this, and I have done this many times with no incident. However, on this cleanup the system error minidump files seemed very large (83 GB). I paid to heed to it (foolish me). The result of this cleanup trashed my boot sector and deleted most of the program, system, and data files. The machine was totally unbootable when I restarted it. I had to recover to factory settings (damn!) from my recovery disks. A major pain in the butt and I lost all my recent data too. This is a major, major bug. Has anyone else encountered this. I have Windows Vista Home Premium.
