Yesterday I took out an old 8 Gig harddisk that I was using for linux and replaced it with a 120 Gig drive from an old PC we’re not using any more. A simple task you’d think! Well, not so. After an entire evening trying to get rid of the Grub boot loader that was causing the boot process to hang without the 8 gig drive there everything was fine…
…actually, no it wasn’t! Now the old PC doesn’t want to boot any more and this one won’t boot without running chkdsk for about an hour each time. So I’m gonna fix the damn thing, hopefully I won’t have to reformat it but I will if I have to.
Right then, I get lost of errors like this:
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
File record segment 3152 is unreadable.
File record segment 3153 is unreadable.
File record segment 3154 is unreadable.
File record segment 3155 is unreadable.
…and…
CHKDSK is recovering lost files.
Recovering orphaned file TOOLBAR.BMP (129929) into directory file 126219.
Recovering orphaned file IADVSNK2.CPP (133980) into directory file 126625.
Recovering orphaned file SIMPDND.DEF (136912) into directory file 126496.
Recovering orphaned file COMCLASS.H (140996) into directory file 125301.
Recovering orphaned file CONTAI~1.H (141080) into directory file 126323.
So why’s that happening. Perhaps I’ll do a delete on these files… well that don’t seem to work. Hmm, looks like a format coming on (…to be continued)
