Vista - chkdsk : NTFS on Vista x64

Vista x64 RTM ultimate, using a dynamic disk.

Not seen quite such an extensive chkdsk for a while... this is on a new
400Gb sata II disk (not run surface check though)

Comments welcome. Note that I was running vista, and noticed some NTFS
errors in the log. However next boot was sadly to XP, since I needed to run
Carbonite (backup) and do some work stuff (VPN) so the chkdsk was run under
XP SP2...

It looks rather messy... and looks like some MFT issues (eek).

The worst thing is, who knows what's lost ........ bit of a confidence hit.

Hello,

Did you format this partition using Acronis?

No, abosolutely clean with Vista x64 RTM.

It's working ok, I'm hoping it was just some files in progress when the
power went off (not that I remember that). Possibly a defrag?
Can only see 1 file mentioned, so it;s difficult to know...

Could also be a failing disk.

try doing a chkdsk /f /r on the volume. If it finds bad sectors a disk
failure is probably eminent.

You can also check your event log - if it is filled with warnings from ntfs
and your disk driver you may be looking at an imminent drive failure.

I have the same problem and the only way to get chkdsk c: /f to work is to chang BIOS to boot from the Vista recovery CD, go to repair windows, and open the command prompt from there to run Chkdsk. It will run and fix the corrupt files. Change BIOS back to boot from C: drive and restart. This doesn't fix the Chkdsk not running after a restart when scheduled to but it will fix the corrupt files without having to re-install windows

Hello Matt,
Here is the link to a tutorial which will fix chkdsk not runnig at restart.

Chkdsk will Not Run at Startup in Vista
