Anyone ever get these type of errors

[dabuddha]

After I rebooted this morning, chkdsk/disk doctor kept bringing up errors like this upon bootup

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)...
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "")
from file record segment 65169.
Correcting a minor error in file 69825.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "")
from file record segment 69825.
Correcting a minor error in file 88245.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "")
from file record segment 95569.
Correcting a minor error in file 98569.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "")
from file record segment 98569.
Correcting a minor error in file 99365.

I was still able to boot up in windows (XP) but when I started backing up files off my C drive, a few of the files would give me a cyclic redundancy check error or something to that effect. Will reformatting fix my problems or could it be a hardware problem.

TIA!

p.s. sorry for posting it here but I really needed any help ASAP. I tried a google search but haven't found anything that might help me.

I'm thinking several sectors are corrupted.

I did a chkdsk /f and it seemed to delete alot of stuff and what not

now chkdsk runs without any errors so I guess it fixed it.

Files were corrupted in one way or another. Checkdisk tried to fix them.

cyclic redundancy check in my experience means you shouldn't be spending time backing things up to that drive because it's on it's way to death. I'd start looking for another hd.

damn it's an old maxtor 30 gig hdd. BTW right after replying to your message, it died 🙁
I put in another hdd and reinstalled XP but for some reason, it assigned my boot drive the letter H:

In disk management, it won't let me change it to C even though I've moved all the other drives around. Is there anything I can do or will I have to reinstall again?

it's formatted with NTFS. But it won't let me change the drive to C instead of H

NTFS should never run diskchk? 😕

Haha, sorry I had to be right in this case. 🙁

Oh you're responding to the original post. That drive is dead 🙂🙁 I put in a new hdd and formatted it and installed winxp but for some reason, it set the boot drive to H instead of C
It won't let me change it to C in the disk management.

Oh ok.

You should be able to change the drive letter in partition magic.

Question, how the hell did you create the partition as the H drive? 😕

Good question 🙂 I've installed windows hundrends of times on various computers and have never had this happen before.
