Fix the USN Journal

The USN journal is a log of fixed size that records all changes that take place on NTFS 5.0-formatted partitions. NTFRS monitors the NTFS USN journal file for closed files in FRS replicated directories as long as FRS is running. Journal wrap errors occur if a sufficient number of changes take place while FRS is turned off such that the last USN change that FRS recorded during shutdown no longer exists in the USN journal during startup. The risk is that changes to files and folders for FRS replicated trees may have taken place while the service was turned off, and no record of the change exists in the USN journal. To guard against data inconsistency, FRS asserts into a journal wrap state. When you use the check disk utility whitout the /F parameter CHKDSK C: Something like that will be showing: "The type of the file system is NTFS. WARNING! F parameter not specified. Running CHKDSK in read-only mode. CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... File verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 3)... Index verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors (stage 3 of 3) Security descriptor verification completed. CHKDSK is verifying Usn Journal... Usn Journal verification completed. Windows found problems with the file system. Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct" This mean that the USN journal is corrupted, not the partition, usually Windows boot normal... and you dont need to change to FAT32 or disable the Index Server or other stupid solution. The solution is easy, delete the USN journal, in the Command Prompt type: FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL /D C: Reboot your PC and run: CHKDSK C: /F Program the scan to the next reboot and... reboot again, if a problem is fixed I recomend to scan once again.
