Corrupt IBMSHARE Directory

#1 Post by Leon » Sun Jun 27, 2004 9:01 pm

I booted into diagnostic mode just to look at it, didn't do anything, and rebooted back to normal. When system restarted, it indicated that the c:\ibmshare directory was corrupt. I couldn't open that directory at all. I ran chkdsk, and it did several repairs. I can now open c:\ibmshare, and everything appears to be running normally. 2 questions for the brains out there:

1. What is that directory and files within for?
2. Can email me a recursive listing of that directory so I can see if I am missing any files? leon@dodgeit.com

Thanks!

Leon

if no one has any insight into this, can you send me the listing of the directory so I can see if I'm missing anything? :roll:

I see all of these on mine, plus I have two extra files in IBMSHARE: sysinfo.ini and sysinfo.xml. These just contain a couple of text lines about BIOS version, model, serial number, processor, etc.
