I have a multi-drive machine and one has an XP drive that I rarely use,
but still I want it to be in good condition as there is one piece of
software that will not run on Win10.
On each boot CHKDSK /F runs and *never* finds a problem.


If that drive is in the machine and I run Win10, it too will run CHKDSK
/F on that XP drive.


I suspect the drive itself has some defect so I cloned it to another drive.

Though it did run CHKDSK /F the first time, after that it behaved
normally so I plan to simply set the original drive aside.

Just curious what could be wrong.

I ran the Seagate short test and it found no problems nor had SMART been tripped.


I am now running the long test.

There is also an option to run an acoustical test.
What the heck is that?

Might as well run that one too.

I don't rely on the Windows 10 CHKDSK.

I use the Windows 7 one, as a compromise between
the old and the new.

Windows 7 CHKDSK tends to dwell (spend too much time on)
XATTR items. It might even be converting something Win10
specific into the nearest Win7 construct. On a WinXP drive,
I would not expect an excess of strange features, to trip up
the Windows 7 CHKDSK.

Also, the CHKDSK on the installer DVD (troubleshooting, command
prompt), sometimes that has additional options. You need to
compare versions of CHKDSK for features. A couple of the
features I've located, make no sense, but, the CHKDSK run
does seem to have a different result (more thorough).

I can't say I've exactly made a science out of this,
as all this version test is a bore.

The drive passed all Seagate tests, I am now going to run CHKDSK /F on
it from Win7


No matter what, the drive is going to be taken out of service. Thanks

Ran Win7 (from a live utility cd) CHKDSK /F and it found a few
"unidentified" files


Don't know what it did from them but all is well.

No more CHKDSK /F on startup


Thanks again Paul
