Re: What is the MFT?

When asking a question about something happening on your system it is
helpful if you list your components as you did. If it's not needed then no
harm done. It may help with troubleshooting. Some people add their computer
configuration to their signature so it's in every post they make whether
relevant or not. That is considered bragging :-)

Hi Cyberfreak665,

I thought about what you said and can understand so I took off my
specs.
I don't want anyone to feel I have more than them.
I am a retired person and can just about buy anything I want or need
and as I said could have bought a show stopper. I really just wanted
to give the experts all the information to know how to fix my
problems.

Hi,
My system is all screwed up and when I ran CHKDSK /f it didn't fix
these errors. When I ran just CHKDSK (read only) I got this:
CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the
master file table (MFT) bitmap.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

235456640 KB total disk space.
13970484 KB in 60033 files.
20868 KB in 5640 indexes.
4 KB in bad sectors.
139864 KB in use by the system.
65536 KB occupied by the log file.
221325420 KB available on disk.

4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
58864160 total allocation units on disk.
55331355 allocation units available on disk.
What is this telling me? Is this part of the MBR?
Chkdsk didn't even fix the 4 KB bad sectors.

Have a good day,
