- corrupted drive
- Posted by Mike Hightchew on January 5th, 2004
I've been using ME since it came out. I've never had any
serious problems at all until now. My C drive is an 80
GB drive on IDE1. My D and E drives are a 160 GB drive
split equally. All of a sudden following a lockup I
rebooted and scandisk ran and said like ten folders were
corrupted on the D drive and it fixed it automatically.
The folders are all garbage now... This keeps happening
with anything I install now. Western Digital's utilities
say the drive is fine. PLEASE HELP!!!!

You may have to erase the D: drive and start over again. The Western
Digital utility that says the drive is "fine" is only checking the drive's
hardware and software, not the data stored on the drive itself.

read this board.. a bunch of us are having these same
syptoms .. sounds like a bigger issue than a local
problem. Does your mouse work or is it acting up now too?
taht seems to be a common companion to the scandisk
symptom.
