Chkdsk "file 9" and what follows

[walterouzel]

I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit) on my HP
for 1 year without the following issue.
I ran CHKDSK C: /f, after rebooting the computer. Thsi command is executed
before I use Vista Backup.

CHKDSK found a number of issues including "Deleting an index
entry with Id ??? from index $SII of file 9." It is now displaying thousands
of "Replacing invalid security id with default security id for file xxxxx"
90 minutes have passed and this is still happening.
Is this related to the most recent automatic update and should I roll it back?
I don't yet know what the damage will be, if there will be any. If there is
are there ways to recover from it. My backup is week old and my Outlook
inbox is the most important folder for me. When I recovered from an Office
2007 crash a few weeks ago I let outlook create mailboxes in its default
locations under users.
Vista is an upgrade. The previous XP installation was an upgrade. When I
have had to do a reinstall of microsoft software the distribution disc for a
qualifying product has not been identified as valid.
I am using a different machine to ask this question.

Everything describe in my question except defrag locked up. System rebooted
and everthing appears to be there. Programs work.

Is there any housekeeping necessary to follow-up?

What was this experience all about?

I'd certainly consider a second chkdsk, then a second defrag (are you using
default defrag--how do you know it locked up)

After that, most of those "repairs" it was doing are relatively minor...I
wouldn't worry about it.

I had a similar issue at the beginning of January (08/01/2008) and posted in
the Vista 64-bit forum.

My eventual solution was to restore from a previous backup. Since then (due
to other issues) i have re-built the laptop in question.

Hope this helps.
