No fix for hardrive Index corruption (NTFS)
hi,
i am running win2k and have a 40gb hardrive with a error in the NTFS Index (error in Index $130 for file 9272) when windows boots up, chkdsk starts and scans the drive, it finds the problem, says it's fixing it but then hangs there for longer than is normal. i've also tried using Ontrack Fix-it utility, which again finds the error, fixes it, but the problem is still there, which chkdsk then reports when rebooting. also running Fix-It again, it still reports the error it said it had fixed. I know formatting would solve the problem, but it really isn't an option as i have no way of baking up 30gb+ of data. Anyone know how i can fix this problem any other way? Regards, Sean |

I guess you'd need a pretty HUGE oven to bake up 30GB of data! ;-)
If the data on that drive is that important, it might be easiest to just get another HD and reinstall Windows onto that drive and copy over whatever you can, then format the original drive and use it as a backup for the stuff you want to keep. Or, if you can boot into Windows (by bypassing chkdsk) - get a cd burner (probably cheaper than a HD) and back up the stuff you need onto CD-r. This would take a lot longer than adding a new HD, though.
