- Dirty voume after critical update reboot
- Posted by O Chacon on December 19th, 2005
Windows XP (SP2) fully patched as of Nov 2005. After critical updates for
Dec were installed and system was restarted the PC will no longer boot. I
get a screen that reads "File Record Segment XXXXXX is Unreadable".
I boot up from CD and ran FixBoot from the recovery console, rebooted
followed by chkdsk /r after 25% completed the system halted with a message
that read "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems"
Once again I rebooted from CD and ran "FIXMBR" from the recovery console,
rebooted followed by chkdsk (no switches) after 25% completed the same error
appears "The volume appears to contain one or more....."
Short of reloading the OS, are there ideas?
Thanks

Looks like you have a Hard drive problem. Go to the drive Manufacturers
website and D\load their test tools, and run them on the drive. you`ll have
to make a floppy disk with the D\load.

Well hopefully your system is a Computer/HP unit?
If it is go into the bios and do a "DPS test" this will check the hard
drive, An end code of 0 results in a good drive.
Your drive might have a bad sector or two, you need to finsh a check disk so
you know were you are.
How you getting on now?,

Haven't had a bad drive in many years so this was a reminder. The HD is
indeed bad. The Maxtor utils confirmed so.
Thanks folks.
