This is the worst, I'm afraid. If CHKDSK is reporting bad sectors (run it again from Windows just to check), then you have suffered a hard disk crash. A crash is when the magnetic material upon the top or bottom of the disk platters inside your hard drive become damaged, usually because of the read/write heads creashing into the platter pysically. Because of the speed of movement of the platter and the heads trying to read the damaged part, the damage becomes greater over time. Backup your files and get a new hard drive as soon as possible, otherwise you risk losing data.

Hi all,

recently I ran into a strange effect. Using XPProSP2 for an unattended
(server like) PC. System worked well, (no visible probs at all) but as
I checked by default the event log, I found that there were regular
chkdsks upon boot and there was a msg in system log indicating a
severe problem on drive d:

ID: 55
Source: Ntfs
Version: 5.0
Symbolic Name: IO_FILE_SYSTEM_CORRUPT_WITH_NAME
Message: The file system structure on disk is corrupt and unusable.
Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume "Drive_letter:"

running chkntfs confirmed there was a problem, so I tried chkdsk /f
and even /c , both were Ok, indicating no problems. But the error was
not fixed.

So I tried the manufacturers low level drive diagnostics (Samsung) and
all was Ok as well (incl. SMART and surface analysis)

So what else to do?
May I rely on such a drove?

tia
w.b.
