The worm that's going around is specifically targeting W2K systems.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. You know what the worm specifically affects? or have instructions on how to check for it/kill it?

Based on a check of the registry, it's not the zotob worm, although it could be a variant (there are at least seven now).
Numerous applications are reporting they can't run because the disk is full, whereas Windows Explorer and the DOS window both report half a gig free. My boss is thinking it's the drive that's screwed up, so that certain applications think it's full.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Tom, I've had the opposite, where the disk space was being misreported by the OS, which I had to use Disk Doctor to fix. That was Win98, though.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here applying critical updates to our Win2000 servers.

AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
ND, I could frelling KISS YOU!!!!!! The fixes you suggested have worked. I ran chkdsk from the recovery console and it worked.
I'll now be spending some time back up files to CD and running disk utilities on the hard drive to see if there's something serious here needs worrying about.
