| 424735 | 2006-01-28 22:43:00 | Well, after recovering the files, scanning with seatools and putting the drive back into its computer, at boot chkdsk ran itself and deleted what looked like thousands of entries for something (it was going too fast to read) I told it to run chkdsk at boot next (chkdsk /r) and it did a full scan and came up clean. |

| 424736 | 2006-01-29 00:52:00 | I didn't think it was very likely to be hardware ... Windows would have complained about that. Maybe it doesn't complain so much about its own mess. ;) But I did sort of assume that you had done a scandisk before looking for more serious things. :( Note to myself: "never assume they've done a scandisk." :thumbs: | Graham L (2) | ||
| 424737 | 2006-01-29 02:15:00 | Well just after the power failure I had run a chkdsk from recovery console which reported some problems (correcting errors in the volume bitmap) and also ran spinrite 6 which did freeze at 34.09% (I exited and restarted the check starting from 30% but the whole thing completed with no error) |
