Re: Win2k/NTFS Hard Drive Security
 

If you refer to the first post, you will see that I already ran scandisk (aka chkdsk in "DOS") on the drive.

I don't have 2K, but in XP it's a chkdsk /r you want to run, big distinction between a check and a physical check. It's a fickle beast but normally a good indicator, it's not perfect but better than nothing. In any case once you get a single bad sector it's time for a new disk, unless your certain it was a one off incident that caused it.

After many ages of man, chkdsk /r returned 0 errors, just as chkdsk /p did prior to the original post.

All else being equal (or even all else less than equal) that drive can be declared physically not the problem.

Your getting the logo screen so it's found the boot records and looked at the right drive. Of course that doesn't really narrow it down much. Is it just the one HD in this system? If there's two then it can be a right bugger.
