Let me get this straight. You ran the program with the "/F" flag, or perhaps the "/R" flag which implies "/F", the program then did exactly what it was designed to do and now you are bitching about it. Like an attorney who never asks a question of a witness without knowing what the answer is going to be, never run a program and then hope it somehow magically knows exactly what you want it to do. Actually, in this case it did exactly what you wanted it to do. Next time run "chkdsk" sans flags and it will only report what it would have done. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
