Chkdsk reporting USA check value in error log?

[Guest]

Due to various issues with my antivirus, I've had a few BSOD's. Using the
RAID1 feature on my Asus P5K Deluxe motherboard for my dual 74GB Raptors.
Anyways, afterwards I invoke a chkdsk and twice now its found the following
errors:

1. A disk check has been scheduled.
2. Windows will now check the disk.
3. The USA check value, 0x1147, at block 0x3 is incorrect.
4. The expected value is 0x8.
5. The USA check value, 0x1147, at block 0x3 is incorrect.
6. The expected value is 0x8.
7. Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive.
8. The USA check value, 0x1147, at block 0x3 is incorrect.
9. The expected value is 0x8.
10. Cleaning up 5 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
11. Cleaning up 5 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.

I can't find anywhere online if this problem with USA (Update Sequence
ArraySize) is really bad or what. Anyone know?

Hi, I have an idea that this is an internal NTFS structure and is
important. Sorry, I don't have specifics.

Have you run chkdsk /R over the array?

The raid driver is the latest? Did it work ok before your "antivirus
issues"? Have a look at the driver chain. Device Manager / View /
Show hidden devices - Eaplore the Non-Plug and Play list for suspect
names. (Rootkits live here! But are usually not visible).

You can right click and uninstall drivers but take care! Don't bring
down your raid array.

No, I haven't run chkdsk /r, only with /f. I'm not entirely sure I need to
run /r since its intended to "find physical disk errors in the file system".
Chkdsk doesn't report any bad sectors. That would take quite a while too
*sigh*.

Yes, the intel matrix raid driver is the latest from Intel's site. I've
removed the offending AV (kaspersky 7) and reran chkdsk, but those USA errors
still exist apparently.

OK, but chkdsk /r is a good idea imo. Yes it takes awhile but will
check for bad sectors. chkdsk /f reports the bad sectors it "knows
about" only - since the the last (non-quick) format or chkdsk /r

Proly worth a /r for peace of mind.
