Aight, just formatted and got these messages from Windows NT when it was booting up in that bluescreen...

Recovered Orphaned File ... etc etc bla bla bla filename etc

Got tons of those messages, so first of all, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??? And now, when I start up Windows NT and try and install some stuff off that 40gb hd... I get error messages from some files, found a few corrupted ZIP / RAR archives... well that just not good :-(

Sooo... is there a way I can test the other 5,809 files in 529 folders to see if any of them are corrupt or messed up WITHOUT actually going to each file and opening it?


Even if theres a way to JUST TEST MP3S to see if they are corrupt, that would take care of a huge chunk of it... any way to do this?

well you could just try to play them, if they work, they aren't corrupted ;) but how did you format your drive? did you go through fdisk delete primary partion, create new primary partion, and the run the format utility associated with windows?
