Drive error-checking feature

dzjepp

Hello,

Have you thought about implementing an error-checking feature into jv16pt, a feature similar to when you right click on a drive and under tools there is an error-check tool.

Maybe jv16pt would be able to 'spice up' this feature that is included in windows, sort of like the defragger that is planned for 2007 is a bit spiced up than average defraggers.

Ooops, I appologize for not using the current features thread. You can move my post there or whatnot, thanks!

I would like to extend on this a bit. Today I had a file problem with opera browser (a single jpg in operas cache folder got corrupt) so I couldn't delete it. Normally I could boot to the windows recovery console and run chkdsk and it would tag the file as corrupt and let me delete it next time.

I was wondering if it was possible to create a 'quick-method' of deletion where you can tag file(s) manually and have them deleted (I guess it would have to tag the file for deletion upon next-reboot, or trigger chkdsk to check the file).

Having one or so files scanned for deletion instead of doing a full chkdsk would save some time.

Yeah I already use this, but it dosen't work for corrupted files. The best it can do is tag the file for deletion on reboot, but since the file is corrupted it dosen't delete. You need to run a chkdsk scan on it.

Drive error checking feature = chkdsk (built into Windows)

Every time when I have had corrupted file which I could not delete (or do anything), this simple trick has solved the porb:

make a blank .txt file or what ever file and store it somewhere else than where the corrupted file is

rename it exactly as the corrupted file (incl. extension)

copy created file to folder where the corrupted file is replacing the corruted file

After that you are able to delete the file

Worked for me every time... :
