PC hardware: Corrupted hard drive partition
Corrupted hard drive partition
by FactorD - 8/10/06 1:31 PMI have used Acronis disk director to partiton the HDD, I have Windows server 2003 running on the C:/ and Vista on D:/
My problem: When booting Vista (beta release 2) I get a corrupt HDD error, it then goes through a scanning procedure to which at the end it says something like "HDD full... CHKSDK aborted" or something like that. My HDD is not full.
The C:/ where windows server is, runs fine there appears to be no problems on this partition, I have run check disk within windows itself and have used "HDDLife" to check and it is healthy.
However there appears to be problems on the D:/... Like I said Vista boots from this partition and everytime I boot I get a few HDD corrupt errors and go through that annoying scanning precedure, and at the end it always says that "the disk is full" or "not enough space" etc.
What's crazy is, HDDLife shows this partition as not containting any data at all, it said there was no free or used space, yet I can see and access all the files just fine fomr windows itself, very strange.
I don't think there is anything physically wrong with the drive at all. I've been lead to the conclusion this may be something to do with how Acronis partitioned the drive. Plus, I have had a few bad resets/ power offs while using Vista which has caused some files to get corrupted.
I would like to get advice on how to....
1. Fix my HDD problem without removing or re-installing windows server (my main OS)
2. Advise me on a suitable disk partition software for windows server (isn't there abuilt in hdd partioner in win server?)
3. Recover my partition allocated for vista using whichever partition software.
4. Re-partition the drive again, so I can install vista on it.
Thanks, please if you could reply ASAP it would be much obliged.
That Vista.

I think there are issues with the beta and Acronis. You are not the first to report this.
Call Acronis and chat with them about Vista.
-> What hardware issue is there?

This is probably not Acronis
by alexver2 - 8/11/06 7:50 AM In reply to: Corrupted hard drive partition by FactorDI also have 2 OSs running on my PC:
1. Windows 2003 server
2. Windows XP
I partitioned my HD with Acronis Disk Director and never had any of the problems you said about.
I really don't think it's Acronis, I think it may be Vista's problem - it's a beta release, so what do you expect from it?
In the future I would advise you to backup your work and data to restore it in cases like this (if you're not already doing so). It may seem beserk for me to advise you another Acronis product I use - Acronis True Image, but believe me man, nothing I used from Acronis ever malfunctioned.
In your case this is what I would advise you:
1.Backup your data.
2.Try reinstaling the Vista on the same partition, your 2003 Server OS shouldn't be affected by these changes as it is allocated on another partition. In the case it is affected, you can restore it from a backup.
Good luck!
I got the same problem
by hyena55 - 9/9/06 9:25 AM In reply to: Corrupted hard drive partition by FactorDI am planning to reformat the vista partition in Windows XP using MS utility and re-install vista to see how things go.

McAfee Site Advisor reports download3000.com as a suspect site with comments from others that it offers software with spyware, adware, or other potentially unwanted programs.
As Bob Proffitt says, "No one can vet that site so I'd steer clear of it".
For that I have removed your post, but in any case, I would have deleted it because it is advertising a web site to a discussion that is now 2 years old.
