re: Question about 'Prevent file corruption problems' Wednesday, June 28, 2006 at 10:14 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joe (2 messages posted) There is nothing wrong with XP or NTFS. Unlike Fat 32 where if the computer did not shut down properly, the system would automatically run a CHKDSK C: /F. With XP and NTFS Windows is constantly doing this while the computer is running. Just give your computer a few days and everything will be OK again. Sometimes a corruption will prevent you from doing a proper defrag but after a few days this will fix itself also. Nowhere in my search could I find why Windows XP with NTFS would not do a CHKDSK after an improper shutdown. Interesting to note that I upgraded my daughters computer from Me which had Fat 32. After the upgrade to XP Pro her computer ran great but the file system was still Fat 32. I did an improper shutdown and sure enough it did an automatic CHKDSK C: /F after booting up just like Win 98 and Me. Hope that helps. I have run my computer flawlessly for two years with Win XP and NTFS.
