Agreed. I too thought NTFS was as reliable as they make out. But a straightforward
system crash the other day left random chunks of my harddrive inaccessible. After
doing a chkdsk /f the files were all there, just that some of them are now full of
random data. Virus checked and full disk scan, no problems. If I didn't know better,
I'd say this looks like cross-linked files. The drive is relatively new and still
seems fine, but some of the files aren't backed up. Help!
Any ideas on a decent tool to fix what chkdsk has screwed up for me?
