Re: Disk Healthy (At Risk)

Here's the result of a read-only chkdsk:

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\access>chkdsk c:

It's suggesting I run chkdsk with /F to fix the errors. The only error(s)
I see is the line

5 unindexed files processed.

However, at this link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/itprovistasetup/thread/5a9aa4a3-04bb-4bef-894a-65be86d44306/
it says that can be ignored. The five unindexed files are reserved OS files
that are not currently in use.

But it's suggesting that I run chkdsk with the /F option. I can lose
files, can't I, because it will do whatever it has to do to make things
right?

I'm VERY leery of running chkdsk /F.

What about Seatools for DOS?

But it's not offline, it's online. Reactivate is grayed out. The only
option that appears available is chkdsk . . .

both say to reactivate the disk.

Yesterday I saw on one of our Windows servers, in Disk Management, it

said

the volume was Healthy (At Risk). Since it was several years old, I

took

it to the local PC shop. They cloned it on to a new hard drive and
installed it. The new drive also says Healthy (At Risk).

When I questioned the shop owner (big shop, he's been doing this a long
time) he said it would correct itself in a day or 2 and the At Risk

would

go away. Is that right?

It's been about 24 hours and it still says that.

Thanks.
