I remember reading about some errors that Windows was not able to repair, but the equivalent Linux tools did.What you hear and what's true are two different things. It's Microsoft's technology, they would be better with it than anybody else. Regardless of what anybody says. That's like claiming OSX is better at working with EXT4 than Linux.I can't trust build in windows utilities as I'm sure they would delete every incoherent data.Entirely illogical thinking. The files are already unavailable, and if those sectors are dead (which could be possible as this does sound like a typical dying drive) well, you can figure out that logic. Windows ckdisk does not "delete" files, you are assuming that Windows is a bad guy, this is typical. Did you hear? The aliens are here and they brought their pew pew lazer guns. If you are that scared, uncheck the automatic repair and only checking. Sorry for being mean but it had to be done. And, no, I'm no windows fan-boy, I work from Debian mostly and main OS X but I also run enough Windows servers to know that Windows is not what everybody says it is.
Ok Jordon, understood.I unchecked the automatic repair of the graphic checking utility, but I only got an Ok dialog telling me that the checking was finished.
So I opened a command line window and hit: chkdsk E:Every empty directory was reported as an invalid link and at the end : (sorry, it's french)

Well if I let it free the disk space, I suppose that I definitively
loose the names of the directories and the files still visible ?
I'm still trying to find an alternative, if it exists ... Thanks, Jean-Marc
