NTFS ...Correcting Errors in Volume Bitmap...

R

When I run CHKDSK at the command prompt I get the
following message.

Stage 1..completed

Stage 2..completed

CHKDSK is recovering lost files.
Recovering Orphaned file SHOWLE~1 <61375> into directory
file 18331.
Recovering Orphaned file SHOWLETTER[1] <61375> into
directory file 18331.

Stage 3 ..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"

When I run chkdsk/f at the command prompt I got this
following error....Cannot lock device...do u need to run
it during restart(Y/N)...I said yes.
So I scheduled the chkdsk/f when the system restarts. The
system restarted and the 5 stages of chkdsk were
completed and windows was loaded.

When I ran the chkdsk command again at the command prompt
to see if the errors have been removed it still gives me
the error showing

Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.


I also ran the DFT ( Drive Fitness Test of Hitachi. My
hard disk is TravelStar 40GN Model IC25N040ATCS04-0 of
Hitachi's ) both quick and advanced tests which passed
the IDE successfully. I also ran the DELL diagnostics for
HDD and it also passed successfully.

Does it mean I don't have any physical damage and just
file corruption on the NTFS.

I have found that running chkdsk shortly after booting up will, almost,
always show errors. Wait a couple of minutes. Then, run it again. It will
probably show the drive as being clean. It happens on most computers I
service.
