Vista - Vista disk cleaner crash system

Hello!

I have Vista Home Premium 32bit. After clean install i go to windows disk
cleanup. There is a box "Per user archived error reporting" in size 46GB,
but the space on hdd isn´t used that much. Anyvay, i select that box and
press delete and after one minute total system crash. After reset i can´t
boot because system files is missing.

Any suggestion? Thanx.

Hi Quad_Damage,

46GB of files to delete in total is extremely excessive, let alone in one
category, especially after a clean install. Since you cannot boot your system
because of missing system file(s) the sensible option would be to reinstall
Vista. If you are using upgrade media then follow the instructions in the
post 'Activation error Home Premium UG over WinXP Prof', also in this
newsgroup. When it comes to formatting your disc, be sure to select the full
option and not the quick option.

Disc Cleanup * Warning *

I used disc clean up this morning. There were some additional options for user "backup" or "temp" files. It was a large number (in GB). But I went ahead and used it anyway.

Very bad.

It deleted all my icons and program menu shortcuts. It is *NOT* recommended that you use Microsofts Disc Cleanup program.

Thank goodness, I imaged my hard drive last night after installing SP1.

If you'd like to see the imager I used that has now saved me twice, visit this thread. There are several utilities that I recommend for Vista:
