E: is corrupt error msg

[jake]

Hello,

We have been getting the following error for again. "The file or
directory is corrupted and unreachable" Last week we got this error and ran
chkdsk on the drive. It then proceed to supposedly fix itself. The following
day we got the same error so we formatted the drive (NTFS). We are now
getting the error again. Is the drive itself bad? Any ideas on how to fix
this without us keep losing data? Thanks in advance.

Steve,

Thanks for the link. I ran the app and it didn't find any issues. I am
going to reformat the drive again and run it once more. If I get the
corrupted error msg again what would you suggest after that?
