how many times will elfenix have to run chkdsk before it completes a run?

[ElFenix]

you know your hard drive is toast when it can't even complete a run

[KLin]

throw it in the freezer for a few hours. That'll teach it.

I don't remember putting one in there, but I just found a 30GB WD HDD in my freezer :Q

i probably did it though and just forgot about it there

set up an alarm so you don't leave the drive in there for (weeks? months? years?)
idk how long mine has been in there

 

[ElFenix]

i'm on the 8th run now!

'insufficient disk sapce to correct errors'

wtf? it has 180 gigs free!

 

[SynthDude2001]

I guess 18.

If I'm right, do I get a prize?

I wouldn't worry about your donkey porn, they don't have the time to look and see whats on the HD.

Your may never finish if the drive is failing. I'm betting you will not get a complete run.

Please don't talk like blackinches. That whole third person thing is so aqua.

WTF happened to it?

i think the drive was just bad from the factory. either that or this usb2 bridge i've got it plugged into is faulty. i don't think so, though, as i've got another drive plugged into the same model enclosure and there isn't anything wrong with it.

13, btw

 

3 times would have sufficed.

no, it kept finding more stuff each run

i'm up to 17, i don't think it can find much more though. figure i'll just format it since it can't do a full surface test. always fails after index verification

BTW, your scans are likely causing more bad sectors. That's why it's finding more each time... Did I mention you will likely never finish? I wasn't hoping that on you, I'm serious. Yes, 3 is enough. The drive is toast. You would have better luck copying what you could from explorer and ditch it. Sorry.

 

[Phoenix86]

So...? Save your donkey poon? What about the drive?

by 'finding stuff' i mean files. it found over a gigabyte of files

anyway, the drive it hosed. formatting failed. i've never seen a format fail.

what is seagate's rma line?

Chkdsk? What is this Chkdsk?
