Event log

[Guest]

In the event log of my server there're some events like this:
Type: ERROR
Sourse: disk
Event: 7
Message: \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, have a imperfect block.

Do I have to run chkdsk.exe ????? Or not ???

Thanks,

Hiya Ricardo,
Apparently this is a known problem that can occur if you recently formatted
a Logical Disk. Have a look here:

I'd run chkdsk c: /r right away. (I'm assuming that the partition in
question is c: as it is at position 0/0, but this is not NECESSARILY so...
good idea to run chkdsk /r on all partitions to be on the safe side). Then
obtain and run your disk manufacturer's disk utility, available on their
website. Often, the bad block can be repaired and/or marked bad and no
longer used. Sometimes any data on the bad blocks can be retrieved.

Then, prepare yourself for a disk failure.
