Re: Bad Block Error recovery

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Will,

Reboot the server into the recovery console. Then, try this assortment of
tools:

fixmbr, followed by a chkdsk <drive> /f /r

-if that doesn't do it-

Reboot the server into the recovery console again.

chkdsk drive /p

The /p switch instructs the Chkdsk tool to do an exhaustive check of the
drive even if the drive is not marked with problems, and then corrects any
errors that are found.
