Check disk problem

I ran a Check Disk on a startup and during stage 2 it said "correcting error
in index $I130 for file 48421". Then, it ran a long list of "recovering
orphaned file (e.g. Gambier (48430), Guadacanal (48433), Midway (48422), etc. into file 48421.
The other stages went fine and then the computer began its normal start up
and started the check disk again and it did the same thing. I finally
cancelled it and the computer seems to be running fine. What is the problem
here and how do i resolve it? Thanks

 

Go to the Start Button, and type cmd and hit the enter key.

I n the DOS window this opens, type in the following : chkntfs /d

Hit the Enter key.

This will reset check disk to the default setting.

 

Is there a space before the /d? Thanks so much for the speedy reply! David

 

yes, there is a space before the d.

 

Note to self: Don't hit the submit key so fast.


Actually there is space before the /d
