Winxpsp2 - Error %Mft
Since installing Win XP SP2 the following error message appears in the
system tray: The file or directory C:/$Mft is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility. Running Chkdsk finds no errors. I cannot see any problems in the running of WinXP. Any ideas on how to remove the error message would be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance |

Winxpsp2 - Error %Mft
$MFT = Master File Table, is an index (numerical) of every file on the
NTFS volume. This is a serious warning. An NTFS volume has a flag called "Dirty", which means the drive/partition has error(s) which should be corrected by Chkdsk with a repair qualifier ( /F or /R). One word of caution - Sometimes a Chkdsk with repair can modify the contents of the drive to fix the errors. This can sometimes mean the data will no longer be accessible. Be sure to backup your irreplaceable files & folders before running Chkdsk /R. A Chkdsk session with /R or /F must be run outside of the Windows GUI to gain exclusive access to the drive and it's contents. Click Start, Run (Type) Chkdsk C: /R [Press Enter] / answer Y to do at the next boot - Reboot PC. "cggroucho" wrote in message ...
