I was troubleshooting Speed Disk (Norton Utilities defragmenter) to determine
why it would not run on the scheduler.
Here is the event log entry:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Speed Disk service
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1027
Date: 9/25/2005
Time: 1:08:20 PM
User: N/A
Computer: DGQ28531
Description:
Optimization of Drive C: not started: Drive integrity check failed. Please
run CHKDSK /F before optimizing this drive
--end of event log—
And so I ran chkdsk first and Speed Disk started OK. It looks like I have to
run chkdsk /F prior to every time I want to run Speed Disk. Not being very
happy with that arrangement I decided to look into what chkdsk was finding
and fixing. I found some chkdsk associated errors in the event log. Here is
one example of what it found and fixed:

--end of event log—
Associated with my past running of chkdsk there are other similar errors for
both hard drives in the event logs. Some common data to all errors is:
Cleaning up 6 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 6 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 6 unused security descriptors.
Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive.
Cleaning up 21 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 21 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 21 unused security descriptors.
I did a Google on “index $SII of file 0x9†and found this KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831374/ The CHKDSK utility incorrectly
identifies and deletes in-use security descriptors
WHOA! So running chkdsk is a more serious problem than not being able to
defrag. But I have to run chkdsk to fix the errors so the defrag program
Speed Disk will run on the scheduler.
KB831374 says to fix the problem obtain the latest service pack. Here is
the Windows version and service pack info for this PC:
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
