Hello Holger,
I thought in your original message you said that the drive giving the error
was labeled as the I drive. If not then use whatever the letter is that is
assigned to the problem drive instead of I.
Take care.

thanks. I will try it. The I: is for the hard drive? I am good with
program but not much with this and want to be very sure. When I finish I
will let you know. Cross your fingers.

Hello Holger,
1. Open the start menu by pressing the Windows key.
2. Open all programs.
3. Open accessories.
4. Open command prompt.
5. Type in the following and press enter key when done:
cd c:\windows\system32
The CD is for changing directory and there is a space after the CD but no
spaces in c:\windows\system32
6. Read the current line to make sure you have switched to the system32
directory.
7. Type in chkdsk I: /r
There is a space between the chkdsk and the I: and there is a space
between the i: and the /r
8. Press enter key after typing in the command.
You will need to wait while the volume is checked, which might take a
while. When completed you can use the JAWS cursor to read results.
At the prompt that you will be returned to when checking is done type the
word exit and press enter key.
Take care.

please can you go through it again. I am good with PC but doing so
without the steps made clear makes me nervous. Give to me again step by
step. Thanks for your help.

Hello Holger,
If I was you I would try the check disk with the /R switch first.
Reformatting might or might not make the drive work right. It really
can't be diagnosed properly by Email. If you are not able to run the
check disk with the /R switch from a command line then you can run it
from the recovery console with some sighted help if you have SP2. I
think you said you are using XP. However, I think you should be able
to run the chkdsk /R on your I volume. Give it a try!
Take care.

Hello Holger,
The error indicates a problem in the master file table. You might
try to run a check disk on the drive. Open a command prompt under
accessories. You might have to switch to the folder where the
chkdsk.exe file is located (usually c:\windows\system32). Type in
CHKDSK i: /r (the switch of /r locates bad sectors and recovers
readable information). Also some drives have two power connection
types, one for SATA and one for earlier types of drives. Some people
have problems when using both connections. If you do the check disk
and you have a $MFT write error then you might want to contact
Seagate for a diagnostic utility for the master file table.
Take care.
