I have been struggling with this too (it's like a recovery group -- Microsoft Victims Anonymous) and here's the latest -- CHKDSK runs every time on bootup (the abbreviated 3-step version that it decides to do on its own, not the longer 5-step version you get when you run it from the disk tools menu) and doesn't complete. It bombs in the middle and goes straight into boot. And it's like Groundhog Day -- because it never completes it tries to do it again every time it reboots. Everything seems to work OK once it boots but it's making me nervous as I have had all the file corruption problems described earlier in the thread.

I downloaded the diag tool from Maxtor and it says everything is clean but I don't know what it checks vis-a-vis the filesystem (if anything). Has anyone else had problems with CHKDSK not completing? I guess everyone keeps asking this but what's the best third-party substitute for checking file system integrity?
