About a month ago, I replaced the hard drive in my laptop with a
Seagate 100Gig drive. I reinstalled my applications and my system works
fairly well. Once in a while I get some odd behavior(strange errors),
my wireless card sometimes fails to find WIFI networks and once of my
programs isn't working correctly. Not sure if these problems are
related. But when I run CHKDSK, the utility finds errors in my C drive.
Example of some of what I see on the command prompt screen:
In stage 2 of 3 where CHKDSK is verifying indexes
it starts displaying a list of corrections
examples:
Correcting error in index $I30 for file 29837
Deleting index entry edb.log in index $I30 of file 11858
at the end of this list it says:
Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode
I then reboot so I can run CHKDSK /R from the recovery console with my
Windows Install CD(CHKDSK won't let me do the repair from Windows)
This fixes the problem. When I run CHDKSK again from the recovery
console, the disk errors are gone.
but as soon as I reboot and run CHKDSK from Windows, the errors are
back.
Unfortunately, I didn't save my warantee card or box and I don't have
the time to repeat the time consuming task of reinstalling Windows and
all of my applications.
Can anyone offer some advice on what my options are?
Thanks
