recurrent HDD errors??

Hi
C Drive.
Seagate 1TB HDD.
Seagate SeaTools says its ok.
Malwarebytes and Antivirus says no problemo.
chkdsk Repair says no bad sectors.

chkdsk Fix says:
Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive.
Cleaning up 261 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 261 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 261 unused security descriptors.

Windoze then restarts like its spoze to, then I immediately run chkdsk Fix again and it says:
Cleaning up 9 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 9 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 9 unused security descriptors.

Windoze then restarts like its spoze to, then I immediately run chkdsk Fix again and it says:
Cleaning up 2 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 2 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 2 unused security descriptors.

No matter how may times I chkdsk Fix I always get
Cleaning up X unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up X unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up X unused security descriptors.

Whereas all three X are each the same number, but different each time I chkdsk Fix.

Any clues ???

thanks

 

Update

I have 3 PCs all XP SP3 32bit
The OP referred to PC1

PC1 is a very High end system, PC2 medium end system, PC3 low end system.

ALL three of them are reporting exactly the same type recurring of HDD errors on C Drive.
:cry

 

Sadly, you failed to tell us what operating systems you are using.

What do you mean by chkdsk fix? What is the exact syntax you using? It should be chkdsk /r for best results. Note the /r includes the same actions as /f, but adds a couple more checks.

It sounds like these system may be behind in updates. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831374/en-us

 

:-o Sorry 'bout that. I even saw that post and noted the high, medium and low end systems, just not the OS. Lack of coffee - Yeah! That's the ticket!

At any rate then that link I provide seems like it might apply.

And I note those are not really HD errors - that is they don't indicate the hardware is failing, which agrees with the fact SeaTools didn't find any problems.

 

chkdsk /f is the abbreviation of chkdsk Fix
chkdsk /r is the abbreviation of chkdsk Repair
Dont worry I am a PC Technician I know how to use chkdsk.

PC1 updates are up to date, PC2 & PC3 updates are a bit behind.

The link you gave is no help it tells of hot fix for Windows Server 2003 which I dont have, and it says to get service pack 3 which I already have.

Problem remains........

 

Greetings, 32bitXPSP3.

Quick question: are you using the same Windows XP installation disk for the three machines? Wondering if there might be some form of corruption with the media if all 3 exhibit the same exact anomalies. Just a shot in the dark.

No its not that, if it was I would see issues when I used the XP CD to install windoze, which was a long time ago.

Also I been doing googleing and many others are having the trouble that I got, but havnt see a valid solution yet.

 

Yeah, I thought that was a little left field, but it was worth mentioning.

What other symptoms are the machines presenting - why did you start the Disk Error Checker and the SeaTools to begin with?
