sound right?
Wesley Vogel said:Robert,
It sounds like you're running chkdsk in read-only mode.
Not checking either or both boxes in the GUI version or not using the /f or
/r switches in a command prompt is running chkdsk in read-only mode.
Don't even bother running CHKDSK in read-only mode. It is a waste of time
and prone to not accurately reporting information. CHKDSK might report
spurious errors because it cannot lock the drive.
1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the volume you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Check both boxes:
o To run Chkdsk by using the /f parameter, select the Automatically fix file
system errors check box, and then click Start.
o To run Chkdsk by using the /r parameter, select the Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors check box, and then click Start.
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
Checking both boxes using the Graphical User Interface is the same as using
chkdsk from a command prompt with the /f and /r switches.
chkdsk c: /f /r
You can type: chkdsk /? in a command prompt for Help.

[[Using chkdsk with open files
If you specify the /f command-line option, chkdsk sends an error message if
there are open files on the disk. If you do not specify the /f command-line
option and open files exist, chkdsk might report lost allocation units on
the disk. This could happen if open files have not yet been recorded in the
file allocation table. If chkdsk reports the loss of a large number of
allocation units, consider repairing the disk.]]

reporting errors. For example, CHKDSK may report disk corruption if NTFS
happens to modify areas of a disk while CHKDSK is examining the disk. For
correct verification, a volume must be static, and the only way to guarantee
a static state is to lock the volume. CHKDSK locks the volume only if you
specify the /F switch (or the /R switch, which implies /F). You may need to
run CHKDSK more than once to get CHKDSK to complete all its passes
in read-only mode. ]]

I'm in the eastern time zone. I just did 2 more chkdsk's, one from Start-
Run- CHKDSK and one from Drive C: - Properties - Tools - Error Checking.
Neither of them showed up as an event 1001. The latest event 1001
appearing in the list is one at at ~ 5PM yesterday. Do you know what I'm
doing wrong? Robert

I ran checkdisk in the GUI mode and checked both boxes. It worked fine and
created an Event 1001. Bad clusters in one file were replaced by Windows,
and there were 20KB in bad sectors. That sounds pretty respectable for a
80GB hard disk.
This process reminds me of how it used to be done in DOS.
Thanks for all your help,
