Re: [H] SSD drive question (TIM)

2014-02-15 Thread Tim Lider
Hello,

It could be there are dead sectors or there is something wrong with the
controller IC on the SSD itself.

I suggest imaging the SSD over to the new SSD.

 Have 4 ssd's in my system all check OK except my boot drive when I run
 chkdsk I get a volume bitmap is incorrect error.
 chkdsk /f does not fix it.
 
 I have a new drive on order to replace it but was wondering about this.
 System boots fine.
 other drives are backup and data. Occasionally get a system freeze,
 could this be the cause ?
 
 thanks

Can you boot into a recovery command prompt from a Windows 7+
installation CD and check the drive from there? This could be due to
Windows running and therefore chkdsk not being able to lock the drive.

Is this the Crucial SSD that you posted about showing a bad SMART status in
December?

And yes, it absolutely could be the cause.

Re: [H] SSD drive question (TIM)

2014-02-15 Thread FORC5
that is the plan. Not sure this is the cause but I recently removed 
the reserved partition, no particular reason just to play. System 
booted and ran fine without but that is when the error emerged. For 
some reason at that point none of my backup sw worked, would not 
clone. Would not read from source or better yet target drive freaked 
out. ( cloning sw tried to make like 8 partitions, very confused.) me 
too :'( Everything else ran fine.
After a couple of attempts finally chldsk did something and system 
would not boot. restored from a full system clone ( which put the 
reserved partition back in.)


Could this bug still be because of that ?

ordered a Samsung 1tb to replace it. Been just buying crucial but I 
thought I would give Samsung a shot.
if it would maybe make things clearer I can post the commands I used 
to move the boot stuff over b4 I deleted the reserved partition.

thanks

No, failed SMART status is never normal. Failing drives don't always show a
bad SMART status, but drives with a bad SMART status always warrants taking
corrective action.
