So that's where you've been all day.

Paul wasn't the first who mentioned it. I did find
some posts of this problem from 2009 which I said then that restoring
the registry with ERUNT also corrected the problem. I didn't recall that
part until I read it today.

Are you now going to say that your live CD wrote to the Windows
Registry? This just keeps getting better.

Anyway the post that I am looking for was by some Linux guru from 2009 I
believe that knew tons about Linux and he stated he thought Ubuntu
creating a swapfile on the Windows drive was the problem. I just haven't
found his post so far. But I'll keep looking.

I think your time would be better spent generating some actual test
data. Dredging up an old post isn't going to win you any points.
