It's a known fact that when someone tries to run chkdsk from the command
prompt (read only), certain errors crop up similar to the following:
Stage 2 of Chkdsk
Recovering orphaned file PERFLI~2.DAT (75852) into directory file 72
Stage 3 of Chkdsk
Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap
CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the volume bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Microsoft confirms that these type of errors may crop up and they just
inform the users to ignore them. Should this be a cause for concern ? All I
am asking is why are we allowed to run chkdsk of the System Volume from the
command prompt when these type of errors always crop up ? In various forums,
I read comments from other users whereas it seems that data really gets
either corrupted or lost (as in my case). I also read that certain 3rd party
av software or ad-aware products may cause data corruption (eg Kaspersky AV
6). This problem is causing a headache to a lot of users and although I read
a lot of articles re this issue, none seem to detail a solution. With this
pace, we will all end up including the chkdsk /f as a startup option when
booting Windows XP Pro. Any comments are mostly appreciated.
