I had a simular problem with Diskeeper crashing after Boot-time defrag. I
did a chkdsk and it detected alot of those bad ID errors. I guess that is
why Diskeeper Corp only released an updated XP version instead of a Vista
update. The Vista version of Diskeeper was unusually buggy. I use
PerfectDisk instead.
