Re: chkdsk problem -- index entries



because chkdsk works
with the master file table (mft).

if that table got corrupted then
the files on the disk are not
registered in the mft.

i would suggest that you
boot with a windows cd
and go to recovery console.

at the c prompt run your chkdsk

Last time i scanned my HD (NTFS), there was a big line of index
entries deleted from file $9, saying something about repeated entries.
I switched it off at once and restarted it.
When I logged into windows, it popped up that my recycle bin was
corrupted. A few files was lost.

The next day, I let it go on. The numbers went up, and the screen
flashed. I waited for a ten minutes, and still flashing. I switched
it off. After restarting, my boot sector was empty. HD half empty.

why????????
