Drives and chkdsk errors (solved)
crimson:
Hi,
I don't know if i should create a new thread or not.
A few minutes ago I downloaded the latest version 2.6.2 'all-in-one-windows repair'. I ran the 3rd option to check for disk errors.
No matter how many times i run it from the tweaking program it says errors found.
But if i run the chkdsk from cmd as an admin, it says no errors. I even did several boot time tests that didn't pick up the errors.
I have attached an event log from all chkdsk logs: from read only (cmd), boot-time and from tweaking program.
I just want to confirm which is true.
If this has got nothing to do with the condition of my hard drive, then i will create a new thread. please let me know.

My program runs the same command chkdsk C: as you do in the cmd.exe Window.
What i have found is that chkdsk isnt always correct. I have seen it do that before, I think because when it is running in read only mode there are still files open and if a file it is checking is being written at the same time it will think there is a problem with it.
Also when you do a boot time chkdsk scan on the drive it isnt chkdsk but autochk.exe. Since it is a version designed to run outside of Windows.
So since the errors where
Index entry avgcchfi.dat in index $I30 of file 68103 is incorrect.
Index entry avgcchmi.dat in index $I30 of file 68103 is incorrect.
That looks like those files where being written to while it was checking them so the data didnt match. You can ignore those :-)

Alternate way for you to check bad sectors. With HDD Regenerator.

Just scan for bad sectors, do not repair. I just use chkdsk for Windows after I use this utility, to repair file system problems due to bad sectors. Although it might take you longer depending on the size of your hard drive. But it might find bad physical sectors, which can't be repaired. That way you know it's using spares. I think when you reformat, all that is happening is that the hard drive is using spare physical sectors. Then when you use Windows utility you aren't discovering any bad sectors. Because those physical bad sectors are being mapped to new physical sectors, therefore there isn't bad sectors anymore that Windows can detect. Because they are already being remapped.

Hi, Shane,
Just the thread owner changed the title by adding solved or is there a button to do so. I remember that i have requested you to include a button for solved. Please let me know. I have gone to some places, so missed threads. pl
