Guest Tom Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Win2K3 SP2 - all MS updates through last week We are continually getting errors upon running CHKDSK /f or CHKDSK /r. We get a fine stage 1 of 5 but stage 2 of 5 ends abnormally. The abnormal terminal provides a different set of indices (total) and indices reviewed. The drive is a 1TB drive that has a lot of zip'd files on it. We've typically used it as an online back drive. Drive is <1 year old. (Maxtor OneTouch - RAID 1) 1) Is there a benefit to continuing on? 2) What's the benefit to stopping? 3) We are unable to delete some directories/files due to a 'bad' recycle file on drive K (the corrupted platter). Any suggestions? TIA!
Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Re: CHKDSK rerun and rerun Hello, do you have more than 4 Millions of files, or even more than 2 Millions ? Can you check both drive healthness from the raid card or tools provided by Mastor ? -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU English blog: http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com French blog: http://www.lotp.fr "Tom" <Tom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0BE8B45D-6DDD-4012-97A5-F4FEF0864346@microsoft.com... > Win2K3 SP2 - all MS updates through last week > > We are continually getting errors upon running CHKDSK /f or CHKDSK /r.

Guest Tom Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Re: CHKDSK rerun and rerun I'm pretty sure we don't even have close to 2 million files. Relative to the MaxtorOne utilities, it's my understanding that the drive works on Win2K3 SBS but the utilities do not. Why the 2 million/4 million question? I've never considered having that many files. Personally, I think the issue is related to large zip files (>5 or 6GB) in a single directory, but I'm not too sure if this is correct. Should we still continue doing the CHKDSK even though it's aborting at 25%-ish and the index number of files and files that are indexed change ever so slightly - sometimes? Maybe also, how can I re-create the Recycle Bin on drive K? Other perspectives appreciated! TIA!

Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 Re: CHKDSK rerun and rerun check the ntfs health status: fsutil dirty query c: Or if it's only k: that has trouble: fsutil dirty query k: If it's say that it's dirty, then you are in troubles. You wouldn't keep this server running with this. -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU English blog: http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com French blog: http://www.lotp.fr "Tom" <Tom@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:30AF43C9-28AF-4C24-9B02-94F5C739BF61@microsoft.com... > I'm pretty sure we don't even have close to 2 million files.
