Index entries even after uninstalling Index Service

[Brock]

Hello, All!
I have already removed `Indexing service' for all my drives and uninstalled
from `Add remove programs'. When I run `Chkdsk C: /v ' in dos window
displays the following error message.

CHKDSK is verifying security describtors (stage 3 of 3)...
Cleaning up 2 unused index entries from index $SII of file 9.

Even a `Chkdsk C: /f ' running at boot time did not clear the error message.
How to clear the Index entries completely?

With best regards, Brock. E-mail: (e-mail address removed)

Wow. These are two vastly different things. Index Service is a piece of OS
software that can build a database of your files to make searches much
quicker (http://www.theeldergeek.com/indexing_service.htm)

The latter indexes are data written by the OS to your hard drive and are
related to your file directory structure.

The Indexing service has nothing to do with this.

Cleaning up unused index entries is part of what chkdsk does.
