This looks a _lot_ like http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327009: "Chkdsk Finds Incorrect Security IDs After You Restore or Copy a Lot of Data" Running setup.exe and doing a full install sounds like restoring or copying a lot of data to me. That KB only mentions the problem arising on W2k; I think you might need to tell MS that you can reproduce it on XP. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
