CHKDSK /FE is the best switch to use. FE stands for Fix Everything. By far the most helpful command for disk issues.
I actually took the bait and looked that up. I thought maybe I had not seen the /FE switch. Well played my friend.
But how do i find the specific file the causing the problem? Such as corrupted file?
