I have done a defrag and stopped in the process (just with the stop button, nothing wild 
). After that I rebooted and had windows tell me that it needed to check the files. Left it on two days while windows was displaying the message "Insufficient disk space to hotfix unreadable file {number of file}" over and over again. Then finally just rebooted, skipped the checking thing and got back in windows finding out that all my data was still there (very relieved). Only thing is that some of my files are unreadable/corrupted. When trying to do something with the file I get the message "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.". I now just would like to delete the files or replace them with files from backups, but windows won't let me do anything with the file (no recovery is needed here I believe). So basically I got the same problem as thread602-1221481. The author of the thread closed off by telling he just did "Properties->Tools->Error-Checking". The problem is, I can't find this tool. I'm on winXP.
Thanks
