You Never Want to See This
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008I don’t know whether to blame the hard drive, Windows 2000, or NTFS-3G. But never in my life do I want to see chkdsk show this again:
It kept scrolling that text for about 10 minutes before finally hitting this BSOD:
So we booted a Windows Vista DVD and ran chkdsk with that to finish the job it couldn’t:
Long story short, we were trying to reformat an external hard drive and ended up putting temporary copies of the data onto the local disk. Unfortunately, the local disk went haywire at that moment, and to make a long story short, most of the files were nicely toasted. The machine needed to be reformatted as well.
