I deinstalled diskeeper (the lastest, .781) since i had constant NTFS filesystem corruption on my new second HD.
And again i reformatted my drive and played back my backups.
I dont know what was going on. Eg. the filesystem was ok, chkdsk /F eveything ok. Then in CMD i did a "defrag D: -a -v" (the windows defrag, not the diskeeper one!) which is supposed to ONLY analyze the volume.
Everytime when the analysis was done i got popups in event manager that my NTFS filestructure was corrupt - ironically subsequent chkdsk /F from a bootable VistaPE did NOT come up with any errors. So...NTFS tells me my filesystem is dirty...eventviewer tells me NTFS structure is corrupt...but chkdsk can never find anything.
So i guess that it screws with my MFT, or somehow in conjunction with Vista SP1 VSS...this is already the second time i reformatted this brandnew HD because of weird filesystem corruption, once a damaged MFT. Now i deinstalled Diskeeper and will observe how it goes. Need to mention that i already "slow-formatted" this HD once and checked for bad sectors...but it didnt find anything...so i am pretty sure the HD itself is clean. I think diskeeper's MFT "frag shield" does something weird.
Just be advised...something seems to be up with DK at the moment.
(Btw. otherwise i am HUGE diskeeper supporter - but damaged filesystems are a NONO. It takes me 20mins ALONE to play back the backup for FSX FlightSim...so i spent another X hours today getting my +/-300GBdata back from Acronis TI backup...but thats another story now )
