TSGL: Chkdsk and Defrag

[jonpan]

Addendum:

Have now found the following info on what chkdsk did in Event Viewer:

Cleaning up 4 unused index entries from index $Sll of file 0x9
Cleaning up 4 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9
Cleaning up 4 unused security descriptors

Seems to be pretty innocuous to me.

P.S. inconsistencies - sorry.

Subject: TSGL: Chkdsk and Defrag


Hi all,

XP SP2, Athlon 2100+, 1GB RAM, HDD 0 = 80GB, HDD 1 = 40GB

Every three days or so, my PC starts running Chkdsk on the D: partition at 
boot, due to 'inconsistancies'.
At the same time, Defrag refuses to operate on D: saying that Chkdsk /f 
needs to be run.

Using Chkdsk from Windows at the next startup has no effect.

I can stop chkdsk running at boot by changing the registry entry, but the 
problem with defrag remains.

The only way I've found to solve the problem is to run chkdsk /p /r from the 
Recovery Console. The initial message is
"Chkdsk is performing additional checking or recovery..."
and at the end,
"Chkdsk found and fixed one or more errors"
That takes quite a long time,doesn't tell you what was fixed and only lasts 
for a few days.

Does anyone have any ideas how to find out what on the D:-partition could be 
causing this? The hard disk itself is relatively new and has tested perfect. 
No virus or spyware detected.

Thanks for any help.
