Vista chkdsk

[Buz Fuller]

Has anyone tried running chkdsk on the primary C: drive during boot up? I
did and chkdsk started clicking off files with the following message: "File
has invalid ID reverting to default ID". It did this for every file on my
computer. It took almost 20 minutes. Then after boot up, Vista was crap.
Nothing worked. Luckily I had a back up. It should be noted that I had just
done a boot defrag using Diskeeper 11 Pro. I called them and they said they
have done that sequence many times with no bad results.

My guess it that it was Diskeeper...but you may want to experiment on
another drive with expendable data on it.

I had a simular problem with Diskeeper crashing after Boot-time defrag. I
did a chkdsk and it detected alot of those bad ID errors. I guess that is
why Diskeeper Corp only released an updated XP version instead of a Vista
update. The Vista version of Diskeeper was unusually buggy. I use
PerfectDisk instead.
