So your saying if the file has been altered by checkdisk, it will be unreadable not have things like slight glitches in the video or clicks in the sound?(note I have'nt seen anything amiss with quality as of yet and will be backing up more in the near future) is scanning the only way to tell if...

When I scanned my ADATA which is a fat32 on my ntfs windows vista, using scancheck via tools > scan now. It went to 100% then the scanbox froze so I had to turn of my computer using the start menu, i tried scanning a few times same result, either turned of computer using menu or safely ejected...

and when I say corrupting I mean certain parts just wont play at all or will skip over. How can you check if a video is corrupt?

So checkdisk/scandisk can alter the video?, but only if you set it to repair?, and by altering i mean totally corrupting not changing the quality or adding slight glitches to the film. someone please reply.

Looking for something preferably not checkdisk/scandisk to scan and repair my portable harddrives( one is fat32 one is ntfs) looking for something very easy to use and which is LEAST likely to alter data. and can scan logical file structures but will just scan unless I ask it to repair.

That sounds good, I may not scan the drive anymore or try to fix existing file system errors as it will only do more harm. I have to ask though if any of the videos were damaged by the scan what sort of damage would I expect, unreadable video or minor glitches in the video?. Someone said on one...

Hey your fine, you did'nt overreact I have a way of driving people around me crazy. I have already driven myself crazy about stupid checkdisk/scandisk or whatever its called, I know everyone says backup, backup and that's what I shall do but for the sake of getting to know this tool like the...

Who here misses the Amiga?

so to try and summarise , With checkdisk then it will delete/corrupt video if errors are found in filesystem/badsectors, but only ONLY if the harddrive is bad already. and a new harddrive can easily have bad sectors on it, but if I do a readonly scan(no options ticked) nothing will be...

That's okay, sorry I was such a bother in this forum too. I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, I go to tools > checknow and scan. I'm actually starting to hate computers after all this, you do a scan thinking it will only help and it actually can make things worse. I miss amiga.

This here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/can-checkdisk-ruin-my-video-files/160b8857-3761-4e87-9378-89c3cda1e35b is a good example of why I posted on other forums, the other one was merged and for good reason and this...

So basically if the options are ticked then theres no problem, it won't try to correct anything?, but if it was checked and does correct chances are the data may be missing or corrupted in which case I would certainly know?

I have a slight feeling your trying to make me feel bad. :whiste: I really don't know what happened there, I must'nt of received the notifications do you know what forum post?

I would of if I had seen it, obviously I wasn't getting any notifications that there were posts, sorry. I did'nt think I ignored anyones response, if I saw it I usually replied. I'm really sorry.

Ouch, well I have actually googled them with no results so I turned to the computer forums I did'nt want to ask again so much, but I got tired waiting for answers on many forums, and then I stumbled on this one which has been very helpful so if someone could pleaseeee answer my last question I...
