Hi all. I have been going through a nightmarish time with these chkdsk problems.
chkdsk consistently reported errors as described here ... and nothing could fix it
... every time I ran chkdsk, the same errors would get reported.
Till I figured it out.
It's the System Restore Point files screwing it up, resulting in false alarms raised
by chkdsk. Switch of the System Restore facility and run chkdsk ... VOILA! No more
corrupted bitmaps or what-have-up.
Whew!
