Thanks for the quick response.
I may have misled with the '1 every 2 months' comment. Its not regular.
Sometimes more, sometimes less, but usually in that sort of time scale it
seems to re-occur.
Unfortunately, I don't think I have a Windows recovery disc, the PC didn't
come with windows discs. It was all preloaded with a restore disc. I don't
think that has a recovery console. If I boot to a Windows command prompt is
that likely to help? Can I run chkdsk from that?
The PCs support folk are worth a shot, I'll send an email. But unfortunately
its out of warranty and they tend not to respond quickly, if at all.
I have done a scan for bad sectors and it didn't find any.
Temp files I keep deleted and 'trim' every so often.
I haven't run a defrag for a while though. Thats something I can try - thanks.

for an error to produce is kind of
odd.
what you might want to try is to
run the commands directly from
a disk prompt instead of through
the desktop.
simply boot with your windows
setup cd and select the recovery
console.
you will then get to a disk prompt
where you can run chkdsk.
in addition you can also run other
commands like fixmbr.
just type help at the prompt
to get more info on the commands
available.
after wards, type exit and reboot
with out the cd.
something that you might also
want to try is to go the homesite
for your computer and check out
the faq's.
there may even be a patch or
update that resolves the issue
you are having. or perhaps
you can email their technical
support for some fyi.
btw: are you keeping your
system tuned up, like defragging,
clearing out the trash files, etc...?

Occasionally, and it is only once every 1 to 2 months or so, I get in
'EventLog-System' some 'ftdisk event 57'. This basically says do a chkdsk.
If I run a chkdsk I sometimes (not always) get errors fixed like:
Recovering orphaned file 'opr01h65 (187185) into directory file '32379'
and
Recovering orphaned file 'opr01h5w (187182) into directory file '33825'
Q1 What do these mean? Where are the 'opr01xx' files from, and where is the
3xxxx directory files that they appear to have been recovered into?
If I run chkdsk /f it claims to fix everything, and all is well again, until
the next time.
Q2 Whats likely to be causing them, how do I locate the actual problem?
Finally, if I run chkdsk without the /f on c: it seems to have the following
warning:
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.
This does not happen on D: or E:.
Q3 Is this normal for C: following a chkdsk without the /f, or is this
indicative of the possible error?
Thanks
PS Things Ive tried:
* An updated AV and spyware check finds nothing - all OK.
* SCANDISK finds nothing - all OK (just reports "disk check complete")
* I cannot find anything that appears to not be working correctly; the PC
basically seems to function OK apart from these problems.
* The PC has one physical HD split as C: D: and E:. D: and E: when checked
are always fine, if there are any fixed errors they are always found on C:
* Everything, the complete system, is backed up once a month, just in case.
