Ran Chkdsk in XP / failed...needed to recover from backup
My only guess is that my particular computer configuration caused the issue OR the "invalid errors", were actually not invalid but yet a result of NTFS configurations. I am running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I installed Vista Business on a seperate partition for a dual boot configuration. While running the chkdsk, I received countless errors. It kept saying the following: "Removing Invalid Security ID, Replacing with Default Security ID on file "X""
(X being a number) I have searched, but can't find anything regarding this and XP.
I have now recovered from a backup, but anyone have any ideas what happened? Is running chkdsk actually worth it? I haven't run it in a long time before tonight and I was doing just fine. =]
