consistency of Harddisk !?

[majki majk]

Hi! I'm getting "One of your disks need to be checked for consistency"
message everytime i load my notebook, this jumps out when loading windows
XP.
Then goes "Checking file system on D:....." ....NTFS...

0KB in bed sectors, i really don't know what other information is relevant,
i always thought bad sectors are the most important for recognizing the
problem.

Harddisk is Samsung HM080JI (80GB) and divided into three partitions.

I noticed the problem when my notebook turned off several times in a row due
to a problem with an electrical contact which i have on this laptop.

Would really be appreciated for your help!

Try HD Tune(freeware) as you can see the SMART
information relating to the drive etc.

Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy to
Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Make sure you do a full
surface scan with HD Tune.

Hope this helps.

Obtain Samsung hard disk diagnostics.

The drive may be failing.

Thanks Gerry!

Although, this just gives me another pack of analyzes.
I hope it'll turn out fine.

Hey! I first must make a bekap copy on to the other computer for this
cca35GB disk usage. So i'm working on that. I shall memorize your e-mail and
then contact you tommorow,... i expect, so you could help me with the
diagnostic data.

 

[majki majk]

Hi !
I haven't found any option called SMART in bios nor ntohing similar. Don't
know what SMART means in computer language anyhow.
Bios version is 1.07.

Thanks. I think i'll give a try at live-human analyzes at service guy
All this kind of analyzes don't help me much solving the problem.
