Chances are chkdsk didn't fix the crash and it's better not to compromise your filesystem right now with an additional crash, so it's better to wait with that.

IMHO Win7 is a much better OS at this point of time than WinXP, but it's up to you of course.

The "few hours" estimate was frankly rather speculative since I have no idea how much data you have stored on the OS partition. It can finish in minutes if you only have a few GBs and the filesystem is clean. Sometimes the OS will perform chkdsk automatically after a crash, so this might be the reason.

In this case I would suggest to do chkdsk on that drive, too. After the additional chkdsk, please post the CSV of Applications. Looks like XP stores the Wininit event in Applications rather than in System events as it goes in Win7.
