Chkdsk output

[Guest]

I found an event ID 7 ("The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block") in
the system event log.

I ran chkdsk (from the GUI, with both disk options selected - "automatically
fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors")

The Winlogon ouput reports a read error, but doesn't mention which file is
involved or whether it has attempted to reassign the bad block(s). Does that
mean it recovered the data or what?

I guess I need to replace the disc (4 years old), but is there any way I can
tell which files are corrupted? I have backups which I may be able to use to
replace bad files.

I don't want to copy bad data across to a new disc and then incorporate it
into my backups thinking I have good copies.

The full chkdsk output is:

You should boot to xp cd,recovery,type:CHKDSK C: /R

I was lead to believe that the same utility runs whether I use the GUI
version or the command line version of Chkdsk, in which case this will just
repeat the same process. Is there a particular reason why you feel this is
different? Thanks Andrew.

I wouldn't be overconcerned about what happened. I would lust run
chkdsk occasionally to see if further problems occur.

File fragments can be found using Windows Explorer using "*.chk"
without the quotes as the search criteria. They open with Notepad.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Gerry.

The only fragments (all 8KB) I found were:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CatRoot2\edb.chk
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.chk
C:\I386\edb.chk

Does that mean anything to anyone?
