i am doing lots of chkdsk in XP and BartPE and now i BartPE, i don't get any errors - for the last time i tried but in XP i do... i get things like: do u guys think its a software problem or hardware problem and why? i still has HP warranty but they will probably take it back right? for your info, this is fixed from a once unbootable partition, marked as BAD in Partition Magic (so refuses to resize/delete/format until i did a /ipe switch in partition magic) but fixed using a low level format - dunno if this didn't really fix it...
hey found out something! when i restore this Acronis Image on another partition (E:\), the same thing happens! but ONLY when the XP is loaded, when i do a scan disk on the original corrupt XP (C:\) (i restored my Acronis Image on another partition w/o touching the original), no errors! so i can conclude that if i reinstall every thing from scratch, there shouldn't be a problem? and do u think that its the acronis image got corrupt after it was made? cos i did a validate archive wo issues. but i think b4 i create the image, there didn't seem o have any problems with the HDD...
This is just the problem that I had after installing Vista on a partition made by Acronis Disk Director. I think that the partition is corrupted. I would suggest to remove all partitions. Then commit all changes and then re-create the partitions.
knowing M$ Windows like i do, it's probably software the "/ipe" switch only ignores errors, and should only be used to fix errors once per error low level format no longer exists, quite a few HWF users have complained about PM before Symantec took it over in about 2k3, Symantec believe they know best and recompile any software they buy (which is not a good thing) can you erase all partitions from the HDD & clean install XP to an NTFS partition ? yes, if you reinstall XP to an unformatted HDD for testing purposes no, from my experience, when i used Windoze Acronis products were superior to most others BTW: searching net for a solution to your problem try that & post results
just when i thought all is well, a check disk shows that its not... the message is shorter though... only the volume bitmap part, whats it actually? think i will send to HP to repair ... is there a CHKDSK reference? to tell me what the messages mean?

discovered something new! on a clean XP install = no problems on this clean install, install Firefox = no problems use firefox = MFT problems appear surf, i think so that cache fills = deleting indexes... do u ppl using firefox have this problem also? on another comp, with Firefox installed also i also have the same problem
Enter the following command in command prompt: Code: chkdsk C: /f You can replace C: with the letter of the drive you want to scan. The /F parameter gives chkdsk the permission to make repairs. You might see the message about scanning at reboot, so enter Y for yes. Then reboot. The disk will then be scanned and repaired.
of course done that already... does not seem to fix anything... i also tried a chkdsk in school (sch comps), the 2 firefox files also appears do u use firefox? a chkdsk produces similar errors?
Yea I got firefox, and it appears I have an almost similar issue: Code: CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... File verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)... Deleting index entry cookies.txt in index $I30 of file 23471. Deleting index entry sessionstore.js in index $I30 of file 23471. Deleting index entry SESSIO~1.JS in index $I30 of file 23471. Index verification completed. edit: I executed chkdsk on multiple computers that have firefox installed. And I can see index errors linked to firefox files, and there are problems with the MFT. I think this is a bug in Firefox, and I'll report that to Mozilla.
have already reported... in their forums not too sure if they are going to fix it... hope so Firefox causing Scandisk errors (MFT) - MozillaZine Forums
really? now when i run chkdsk i still get the same problem?? what did u do? need to reformat? maybe i need to do a chkdsk /F? < done it once though
