    chkdsk on reboot (windows 7)


    I've searched the forums and found some people having similar issues to mine but not exactly.

    This is a brand new build with a fresh install of windows 7. The boot drive (c:) is an SSD drive with very few applications installed. I have another drive (i:) that is a mirrored array (raid 1) of two 1 TB drives. It has a lot of data and other applications installed on it that I don't need to run "fast".

    I rebooted the other day and chkdsk came up and said that my i: drive needed to be checked for consistency. I was a little shocked by this, but walked away for an hour or so and came back to the login screen of windows. I logged in and thought nothing more of it. I then tried opening one of my apps that's installed on the i: drive (adobe reader) and it said it couldn't find some files (or something to that effect). I uninstalled it (strange that it could find the files to uninstall...but whatever) reinstalled and everything was good again. I then rebooted later that day and chkdsk came up again on the drive. Rather than waiting this time, I just pressed a key to skip chkdsk. When windows loaded, I tried opening some apps that are installed on the i: drive and they wouldn't open...same problem as with adobe. I tried browsing some files on the i: drive and didn't see any problems at all. I opened a few pics and mp3s...all good. I rebooted again and of course chkdsk came on and went to 58560 of 252672 files (2%) almost instantly and now it's just hanging going through one file at a time VERY slowly. I'm pretty certain that it's nothing wrong with the drive phyiscally (there are actually two drives as mentioned above).

    Any ideas here? As I said, I did do some searching and found some solutions to use chkdsk with a /x switch to tell windows to stop checking the volume. But I'm not sure that will resolve my "missing files" issue since most of my programs are installed on i: I'm going to wait out this current chkdsk running (it's on a different machine (obviously)), and see what happens.

    just an update: it was chugging through one file at a time, and now it's blasting through each file saying "File record segment 67xxx is unreadable"

Chkdsk runs after every reboot

Chkdsk runs everytime the computer is booted. The dskchk is always clean and it never finds anything wrong. If I let the disk check complete the dirty bit shows that it is clean but if I skip the check it will be dirty. I have checked the dirty bit prior to a reboot and it is still clean but chkdsk...
