Has anyone on this forum encountered the dreaded Vista disk cleanup bug (documented at http://forums.cnet.com/5208-12546_102-0.ht...ssageID=2531664 and http://takeforum.info/pages/new69s4o637770.html) yet? I have, and I find it amazing that this bug isn't all over the tech news sites. I'll post my experience if anyone is interested, mine was on a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Vista Business Edition X86. Essentially what seems to happen is the disk cleanup tool identifies half the victim's files/data (including core system files required for bootup) as windows error report files and attempts to "clean them up", rendering your computer unbootable and causing significant data loss. Mine occured after I upgraded from XP (I chose the upgrade option so Vista would recognize my dual-XP boot setup). Since doing a fresh install of Vista, the disk cleanup tool does not seem to be affected by the bug as it seems to give a reasonable Mb "assessment" of the total size of detected error report files (data deletion is preceeded by obscenely large amounts of error report files being detected - like 98Gb on a 25Gb partition). I don't have the cojones to actually run it, as I don't want to reinstall Vista again! I recommend that people use the error report cleanup option with caution - if you're getting multiple Gb amounts of error report files being detected, don't run the tool!!!
