When your evening involves the computer command CHKDSK C: /R there's a good chance you're having a bad day. If you're computer illiterate, just trust me... it's all kinds of bad.
Reuter, I pay in whatever malted currency you prefer...
About Me
- trackrich
- I'm mostly just a guy trying to keep it all together. I love my family, my bikes, and my ability to be something that resembles an athlete from time to time. I juggle a job, a house, some training, and all the stuff my kids manage to get involved with. I'd never be where I am without the support of wonderful people like my wife. I'd probably be better off if I traded some beers for some z's. I'd definitely be better off if I could learn not to crash so much.

It's a rare day my RSS reader calls me out by name.
What's wrong with it? Email me.
The good news ending to this story is that whatever firmware (or does this count as software) geek that wrote the chkdsk utility is a genius. Running that with the repair option recovered enough from the bad sector to repair it. I was blue-screening with some sort of boot sector error every time I powered up and this was after simply doing a reboot from normal operation. I went through a few rounds of gyrations before I found the magic command, but all is well(ish) now. Backups will ensue today... thanks.
