CHKDSK has fixed many things for me in the past.
RCB> [e:\] fst check -p g:
RCB> WARNING: FNODE 1916597 ("\image\wustl\j\jung-do.jpg"):
RCB> Contiguous runs of disk sectors
This is a warning. Indeed, from the content of the message it doesn't seem to
be indicating any actual error in the disc structure whatsoever. The
immediate reaction is "So the runs are contiguous. So what ? That's allowed
in HPFS. Indeed if the file is larger than what will fit into two bands,
roughly 16MeB, having multiple runs is unavoidable.".
RCB> No, chkdsk dont fix anything, in my own experience.
RCB> Neither graham utilities & gammatech work, NOTHING fixes this!
That's because what FST seems to be reporting above *isn't actually an error*
in the HPFS filesystem structure. There's nothing to be fixed.
Hence the reason that FST prepends the label "WARNING:" rather than "ERROR:"
perhaps ?
