I had a catastrophic battery failure on my notebook, ie the battery wen
from 98% to 3% instantly and forced a 'dirty shutdown' of Windows X
Home SP1. The drive is formatted NTFS and partitioned C/D/E.
Since then, on every boot, I get a message that the D drive needs to b
checked for consistency. I allow this to proceed and the system report
"Windows has checked the file system and found no errors". However, o
the next boot, it will repeat the process with the same message.
I have forced a full CHKDSK from Properties>Tools>Error checking, wit
both "automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attemp
recovery of bad sectors" checked. The system carries out this check
says there are no problems, then reports the above error message, run
a second check, again says there are no errors, but runs again at th
next boot.
The System log shows two errors, 4 seconds apart during the boot, NTFS
Id. 55, "The file system on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please ru
CHKDSK." Disk Management reports the disk as healthy, and everythin
works.
I assume, therefore, that there is a 'flag' stuck - I seem to recal
that NTFS has a 'dirty volume' flag or something like that. Is there
way to clear this?
Thanks
