You never mention HOW you ran chkdsk. So what command-line parameters
did you specify?
I went to Properties/tools and checked both boxes. Then I rebooted so
it would run CHKDSK and fix any problems.
clean. If it doesn't go clean after 5 runs then it's time to use more
robust diagnostic & repair software (see below).
I've got Seagates SeaTools running on it right now (the second HD in
this computer).
Did you end up running chkdsk on the wrong drive because you didn't
specify which one to check?
No, I checked.
Since it runs against partitions, I would suggest running against every
partition (drive) on the hard disk.
It only has one partition.
diagnostic software you can download from their site. Alas, these are
marginally better than "chkdsk /r" and some not at all. SpinRite ($89)
is probably still the best program for fixing bad sector and
misalignment problems in hard drives; however, at its cost, you could
probably buy a replacement hard disk
Yes, I used SpinRite many years ago. I looked at it yesterday, and it
hasn't been updated in 4 or 5 years. And, as you say, I can buy a new
HD for that amount of money.
Thank you for your reply.
