I just thought of a potential culprit.

Has anyone with these symptoms used microsoft's 'bootvis.exe' at any time? It's a tool designed to optimise boot times and uses logging to trace drivers, etc. It has the option to save the log as a .bin (in my case 28meg), but it must keep it somewhere first.

I used it a few months ago, and my suspicions were roused when i saw this new note on their website:

Note: This version of BootVis.exe is compatible with final release of Windows XP (build 2600) and resolves a compatibility issue when using third-party IDE drivers.

I have intel IDE drivers (does that count as third-party?

) Suppose it didn't stop logging?

BTW it's here if anyone's interested (it did shave a few valuable seconds off my boot time

)
