It is a long story, but I will try to give as much details as possible.
I am running XP SP1, for some unkown reason I cann’t run chkdsk on boot, in
order to work around I use ERD commander to run chkdsk /f /r. It reported not
problem at all, but if I run chkdsk (without the /f parameter), I get the
following log from chkdsk:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
WARNING! F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
File verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)...
Index verification completed.
CHKDSK is recovering lost files.
CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors (stage 3 of 3)...
Security descriptor verification completed.
Correcting errors in the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.
39062047 KB total disk space.
26738936 KB in 104308 files.
31632 KB in 4020 indexes.
0 KB in bad sectors.
196431 KB in use by the system.
65536 KB occupied by the log file.
12095048 KB available on disk.
4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
9765511 total allocation units on disk.
3023762 allocation units available on disk.
If I try to run a boot defragmentation with Diskeeper, I receive a message
indicating that Diskeeper couldn’t get exclusive access to the volume,
probably because is not mounted or is not NTFS. If I check if the drive is
“dirty†with CHKNTFS, it shows it is clean.
With all these issues, I restarted my pc, and I started to notice I was
“losing†free disk space very rapidly. I ran a scan for virus or spyware and
nothing was found, I made some directory comparisons I found out System
Volume Information Directory was very large (9.7 GB), I cleared the previous
Sytem Restore Points wih disk clean up (the directory was reduce from 9 to 2
GB), and I reduce the size of the Restore Points from 3 to 2 GB, nevertheless
every time I restart my pc the Sistem Volume Information Directory gets
aproximately 400 MB larger reducing very quickly my disk space.
Any idea on why I have these problems.
Thanks,
Eduardo
