A few weeks ago I had a problem where my computer was locking up with disk activity, but no corresponding increase in CPU usage.
In the system event log there were error "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block" At the time I ran chkdsk /f on the system and it checked out fine. Doing more research, however, I should have used chkdsk /r. After doing that, which takes about 6 hours to do a 60 GB hard disk, it found some bad clusters which it remapped. Now I haven't received any disk errors in 2 days and the system seems much faster. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
