AAOS Rebooting

[elly]

I ran AAOS for the first time last evening, and as it was taking so long, I let it run overnight.

This morning, my monitor was displaying the EULA, which leads me to believe that when the scan ended, the system was rebooted--the AAOS disc still in the CD drive, of course.

So... I don't know what, if anything, the scan found. Might it be in a log file?

And am I right about AAOS rebooting the machine? If so, can that be changed?

Thanks,
Elly

Hi Elly,

On a 70,000 file system (a standard Windows 2000 installation) it takes about 25 to 30 minutes. Most Windows systems that have had files loaded and unloaded thousands of times has hundreds of thousands of files (maybe even millions). This is what could slow the scan down.

AOSS does not modify the disk structure. It does however do a "chkdsk"
if the Windows system has not been shut down properly. On all test machines, this only resulted in chkdsk.exe being executed at Windows startup. The only way files are modified is if they are detected and a "Clean" is performed.

AOSS should only be run on a system that was shut down properly.

AOSS does not create a log file at this point in time.

Cheers,
