Internal drive repeatedly repaired by Windows
Hi guys,
I have this very worrying problem with one of my internal drives. Every now and again a Windows balloon pops up and says that it fixed errors on my F: drive. When I go into the event viewer under 'system' there are tonnes of entries for the file system being repaired.
Here are a few of the errors;
Code:The Master File Table (MFT) contains a corrupted file record. The file reference number is 0x4000000004e50Code:The file system structure on volume F: cannot be corrected. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume F:.Most of the error messages are the second one above. But the first ones worries me the most.Code:Volume F: (\Device\HarddiskVolume9) needs to be taken offline to perform a Full Chkdsk. Please run "CHKDSK /F" locally via the command line, or run "REPAIR-VOLUME <drive:>" locally or remotely via PowerShell.
Some background on my machine;
I dual boot from two separate SSD's into Windows 8.1 and OSX 10.2 respectively. Then I have a Western Digitial 4TB hardrives partitioned into two 2TB drives - formatted NTFS.
On one of the 2TB drives is this F: drive. This is where I keep all my documents, pictures, music and such. in Windows my documents folders are mapped to the F: drive and in OSX Yosemite the users folders are linked via symbolic links.
In OSX I use Tuxera NTFS to write to the NTFS drives. I have a feeling the issues lies here somewhere! Perhaps everytime I boot into OSX and play around it corrupts the drive in windows???
Possibly the settings in Tuxera are causing problems. I think I have caching turned on. See this menu here.
Just one more note - I have Paragon Backup and Recovery 14 installed. In device manager I get an error under - UIM direct device image plugin. It says;
I believe this allows me to open images (like .bin) directly in windows explorer. Maybe this is an issue?Code:The software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware vendor for a new driver. (Code 48)
Please please help! I'm really worried that the drive is just gonna not work some day!
Any ideas?
