I know my hard drive is failing, and I need to buy a new one asap! But I’m curious about something…
I boot from my Vista install disk, and start up the recovery console. I get to the command prompt, and run CHKDSK c: /r
During the scan I notice a lot of errors being repaired. (File sysytem and surface errors) At the end of the scan I get “Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50”.
I get this every time I run CHKDSK, using the X switch, or R switch, or F switch. And the funny thing is, I get the SAME ERRORS being reported as fixed every time. The same! So I guess even though the errors are being reported as fixed, CHKDSK is not actually doing the repairs?
Sorry for the long message, but I was trying to give a clear explanation of my problem!
