Gene, Gene,
About ten days ago, I got an Event ID 55 in the event log :" The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume D: " It is a pretty scary message, but the system is working fine. While running chkdsk in read-only mode, I get stuff like this: CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)... Deleting index entry Dd8fe0567014c063d.SMD in index $I30 of file 2768. Deleting index entry DD8FE0~1.SMD in index $I30 of file 2768. And when I run chkntfs d: I get : The type of the file system is NTFS. D: is dirty. You may use the /C option to schedule chkdsk for this drive. I think that something happened in the I/O activity in the Imail spool. Perhaps it is just a matter of letting chkdsk make its work a boot time to fix those indexes and lost chains. Since chkdsk /f is a slow process, I wonder if there is some tool that can do this job on-line.
