Re: Repairing Usn Journal

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Repeated hard drive corruption messages are a reliable sign that a drive is failing; it's most likely not a software problem. Get and run the drive manufacturer's bootable drive diagnostic from their website. Discuss its results with their tech support.

And don't keep using that drive. That will likely propagate the corruption, eventually making it impossible to easily/cheaply recover its contents. Install another drive and clone that one while you can.

What is the "Usn Journal" and what would corrupt it enough to cause
Win2K to schedule CHKDSK?

"The registry files may have been corrupted because of hard disk

I know it's HD corruption - there is a message sometimes in Event
Viewer saying that the NTFS partition is corrupt and I need to run
CHKDSK.

The question is what is causing this corruption.

If I do a repair, it's an IPU. Since this problem cures itself, I have
not done that.

I have 3 identical 80GB WD drives which I swap around using Kingwin
KF-23 removable drive bays. I use official ATA133 ribbon cables. I do
not believe it's a hardware problem. And it's not a power failure
problem because the computer is on a UPS.

That leaves:

"The Registry Is Written to at Shutdown"

"If one or two registry hives consistently become corrupted for no
reason, the problem probably occurs at shutdown and is not discovered
until you try to load the registry hive at the next restart. In this
scenario, the registry hive is written to disk when you shut down the
computer, and this process may stop the computer or a component in the
computer before the writing is completed."

If that were the case, then Windows would not load, in which case it
would not get the opportunity to schedule CHKDSK on the next startup.

Whatever is corrupting the registry is happening before shutdown.
