You dont need to perform any of the areas pointed out in the 1st post
response..
Index errors are software issues,bad sectors would be hd problems.
Also,the cmds you made are invalid to run in windows,or on boot up..Try
run,
type:cmd In cmd type: CHKDSK C: /F or /R Agree to restart,type:EXIT
Go to run,type: services.msc In msc,locate "Indexing service",start the
service,
let the pc repair indexing,the hd LED light should show it use.Once its
thru, restart pc...Also,the hard drive MS-DOS check utility from the hd
mfg,simply gets installed to a MS-DOS formatted floppy,then boot pc to
floppy,all the BS pointed out before isnt needed..

Wow, Andrew. This is a first! You actually responded/acknowledged that
someone else in the world exists! Of course the information you gave the OP
is wrong as usual, but congratulations on your progress.
