From: Ant on 9 May 2010 17:34 Hello. I am fixing a client's old Dell Optiplex PC with updated Windows 2000 SP4. Its event logs showed a bunch of "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block." like: Event Type: Error Event Source: Disk Event Category: None Event ID: 7 Date: 5/9/2010 Time: 12:20:29 PM User: N/A Computer: DELLOPTIPLEX Description: The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.

In W2K's cmd.exe, I did a long chkdsk /r /f c:, rebooted, chkdsk'ed a long time, and then back to Windows. However, I still got some errors as shown in the event logs: Event Type: Information Event Source: Winlogon Event Category: None Event ID: 1001 Date: 5/9/2010 Time: 12:22:26 PM User: N/A Computer: DELLOPTIPLEX Description: Checking file system on C: The type of the file system is NTFS.

OK. If there IS a problem, then do I just set smaller partitions? -- "I do not believe that the Great Society is the ordered, changeless and sterile battalion of the ants. It is the excitement of becoming--always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting and trying again--but always trying and always gaining. In each generation--with toil and tears--we have had to earn our heritage again." --Lyndon B.
