    NTFS warning events in system log (Vista x64)

    Hi all,

    I rebooted my PC sometime on Sunday afternoon and noticed that it was doing a chkdisk on my data drive

    Only just remembered just now to check it out in the event logs and there's a stack of event ID 130's from that time, plus a few single ones from various dates and a whole bunch from the 4th of this month. There's one from earlier today too. Event ID 130 is described as "The file system structure on volume D: has now been repaired."

    The volume in question lives on my Samsung Spinpoint 250GB SATA disk. Other than noticing the chkdisk during boot the other day I'd have had no idea that anything was (potentially) amiss. I don't remember seeing anything like this when the machine was running XP (is now Vista Home Premium x64). Could this be a Vista oddity or should I think about replacing the disk pronto?

    Cheers in advance

    try a chkdsk /r

    it will take longer, but may fix some more serious file system errors

    windows initiates a standard chkdsk only covering 3 of the 5 checks when it decides theres a problem

    if that fails run the manufacturers check utility and see if its on its way out.

    Re: NTFS warning events in system log (Vista x64)

    OK thanks for that, I've now done a chkdsk D: /R at boot time. I must admit I got bored watching it so went off and did something else for a while and came back to find the machine at the Vista login screen so I presume there was no real drama along the way. Unfortunately there's nothing in the event log to suggest there was any chkdsk going on at all whereas there was before - doesn't chkdsk log stuff whenever it recovers anything? Can I take this to mean it found the filesystem to be clean?

    Still considering replacing the drive, was thinking about it anyway. Was going to go for a Spinpoint F1 but doesn't sound like they're very reliable...

    Re: NTFS warning events in system log (Vista x64)

    Use a program that can read the SMART data from the HDD, or you could end up replacing the drive and the problem persisting, also, if this is the only time your system has done this, you can ignore it. Chances are the OS didn't cleanly unmount the volume during the restart for whatever reason, and chkdisk was just doing sanity/cleanups of NTFS.

    And, as always, there's no replacement for a proper backup scheme.

    it doesnt log during the offline, the only thing you can do is specify the wait when finished flag, for a full breakdown open a cmd prompt and type chkdsk /?

    its done its job, fingers crossed you dont get any more errors

    oh and as for reliability, since when do people post to say somethings working ok ?

    you only ever hear about problems, and with a drive as popular as that your bound to hear the odd horror story
