Look who just 'limped' in. Need advise for MFT error.
« on: December 01, 2015, 06:29:28 pm »
Well guys I'm back.  Not w/ a vengeance, but with a real problem.  Mr. Machine has been acting flaky.  Blamed it on Norton, but now I'm not so sure.  After I lost ALL 250 logins when their so-called Identity Safe Cloud while changing passwords I have been up for 2 days.  But I think I may have a different, possibly related problem.  Their Forum has been a help, but I haven't had time to address that BS.  I'll complain about it l8r.  [big surprise, huh]

Ran all tests according to procedure.  This is what WR Pro has gleaned for me:
The master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute is incorrect.
The Volume Bitmap is incorrect.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

 488282111 KB total disk space.
  55304148 KB in 108767 files.
     83080 KB in 26387 indexes.
         0 KB in bad sectors.
    315151 KB in use by the system.
     65536 KB occupied by the log file.
 432579732 KB available on disk.

      4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
 122070527 total allocation units on disk.
 108144933 allocation units available on disk.

As you know, I'm lost in the 'brave new SW world'.  This really concerns me.  I know an MFT error is bad, very bad.  As much as I hated to (and shouldn't have), I relied upon Norton 360.  But before I blame this problem on them, I'm going to run my other/possibly better tools as soon as I post this.  So I'll be back soon, (I hope) after I throw 'the kitchen sink' at Mr. Machine.  I hope that you've had some laughs here in my absence.  Is there a new 'class clown' to take my place.  well I'll find out soon enough to check back.  I'll TRY not to do anything stupid ... just Scans w/o actions and report verdicts back.  L8R -  Art

I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

 :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Guess who's HAPPY, for a change?  Thaaat's right!  Tony, from the Norton Forum made my Identity Safe CLOUD whole again.  I am freekin' elated!  That Forum is the ONLY thing that keeps their "Support" alive!  Oh man, I'm just 'buzzing' right now and I 've got to get some sleep befor this problem 'harshes' it.  DAMN, I feel good.  Good and tired.  Almost like I'm back at work again!   :smiley:  I' be back after I sleep for a day (at least).   :smiley:  - Art
