chkdsk continues to find errors

I ran into a mystery with chkdsk that I could verify with a dozen
different Windows XP systems. Chkdsk seems to always find some errors on
the C: drive that need to be fixed with the /F switch while rebooting.
During the reboot chkdsk usually finds nothing but as soon as the system
is up and chkdsk is run against die C: drive again, the game starts from
new.

I bet if someone tries this on a system with all the recent updates, it
will result in the same. But I know it used not to be so, usually if
chkdsk would find errors, after repair it should report a clean file
system.

Does anybody know why chkdsk all over sudden behaves like this?

Thanks, Juerg

Try it with chkdsk /R
Also note that there are some Bad sector beyond SFC to repair or mark as
bad! If the HDD on its last legg.

Me 2! Ran chkdsk 4 times in-a-row with fix option & now it's gone.
PM's check disk on boot & BartPE chkdsk never did find anything.

Buy 1 of those copper bracelets from my cousin Vinny :)

Hope that helps. Larry

I've found that I often see errors when running chkdsk
on a "live" system as there are files in use and the drive is dynamically
changing.

As long as there are no errors while actually running chkdsk /f
you are probably OK

However, as a precaution, you should run the harddrive mfg's diagnostic
