Help!
Running XP Pro w/SP2. C: drive is one physical drive, D: drive is two
physical drives configured as RAID0.
Experienced something that appears to have corrupted something on D: drive.
When I received an error message from XP that I needed to run Chkdsk, I ran
"Chkdsk /f" from the command prompt, and then answered "Yes" to run it at
next boot up. I rebooted, Chkdsk appeared to run OK and ran through all
three stages as XP was booting (although I didn't receive a progress screen).
After the desktop loaded, I had no more warnings in the task bar about
running Chkdsk, but several of my desktop shortcuts (all pointing to the D
drive, where all the games are loaded) reported that they no longer worked
because the directory either no longer existed or was corrupt. The affected
directories (three out of over 20 under "Program Files") are listed, but some
of them can't be accessed.
I can access the D drive just fine, and everything else on the drive appears
to work OK, to include over 20 shortcuts which point to different directories
on that drive.
When I went to run "Chkdsk d: /f", it reports "The type of file system is
RAW. CHKDSK is not availabl for RAW drives."
When I check the status of the disk under properties, it reports that it is
healthy and a NTFS disk. But Chkdsk will not check the disk for errors. I'm
desperate to fix this!
Any ideas? Other Internet research seems to indicate that some of the drive
info may have become corrupt, but that the data is still there and should be
able to be recovered.
Thanks in advance very much for any assistance you can render!
