I found a some bad sectors with chkdsk. Should I be worried?
- by mottalrd
Yesterday I found a corrupted file in my external usb drive.
Since I am using the drive quite often (I am running my vms over there) I decided to run
the chkdsk on it
This is the result
488384000 KB of total space on disk.
351202364 KB in 1042390 file.
489920 KB in 81101 indexes.
16 KB in damaged sectors.
1204584 KB in use.
65536 KB used from the registry.
135487116 KB available on disk.
therefore it has found 16KB of damaged sectors.
Now the file is recovered
Should I be worried about the HD and run chkdsk periodically from now on?
