Inserting an index entry into index $0 of file 25

Recommended Posts

I have Windows XP Pro installed on 250 Gig SATA WD HDD with two partitions formatted as NTFS; 30 Gb system disk C: and 220 Gb Data Partition (Disk D:). A week ago I've experienced strange problem with my Data Partition. During boot time there is scheduled CHKDSK on Disk D. Well, if I accept checking, the msg:

Inserting an index entry into index $0 of file 25 :(

its been repeating itself over and over again... If I abandon disk checking by bypassing scheduled job, my Disk D: is visible as well as all files on it. The only but very hard problem is that I cannot delete or move any single file stored on D: There I have 1 Gig of free space where I can do with new formed files all what I want (copy, move, delete etc...). New files are not locked or blocked.

Does anyone know what this might mean? What I can do to solve my problem? :unsure:

This is a NTFS problem. It’s seen when a user doesn’t have permission over the files.

To set the right permissions, open a CMD window and use the command CACLS. It will give you instructions how to use it.

Beware, you will do this on your own risk!

I have the same problem as u! Desperately need help to save my data...now cannot boot into Windows after the WINDOWS XP splash screen.

Ok here's what it is....I have a laptop, 3 partitions. Of which one of the partitions is the win XP.

I installed and then uninstalled FM07/08 because I felt it was too laggy (not right) and previously when I restarted my computer chkdsk auto-ran (for no apparent reason), and when I logged in, Zonealarm's program listings were wiped out.

I used system restore in safe mode to back Windows to a state about 1 week before, as it was stable at that time. (Safe mode cos I cannot go into Windows successfully, apparently services.exe, lass.exe got problems??! Some indexing thing I think)

However, after system restore was done and I successfully booted into Windows, I restarted the computer to check if all was right.

(AND THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED)

chkdsk ran (again), and I was stunned. It did 3 layers of checks, by deleting some indexes in the file (have 6 numbers, whole long list), and then adding a index $0 to file 25 (dunno what it means! but there was a pretty long listing).

And there were NUMEROUS changes to the file system apparently because the orphaned files went to another file.

So I thought it was ok, chkdsk auto-restart, and now after the splash screen I cannot even go into windows logon. It is just...BLANK.

Any help? I need my data, and IBM said they can only give a recovery CD to wipe my hdd... -.-

1) How to recover my data?

2) Should I just format the current XP drive and install a new clean setup of Windows? (I dun really like the idea...)

3) Would the other 2 partitions be ok?

I would do the following:

The other 2 partitions should be okay, if the files were not saved under the user directory, then you should be able to copy those files from the system partition (C: i presume) to another partition but you have to do this as a second/slave drive in another computer.

If that doesn’t help, format the hard disk and install a fresh XP. After that install all the drivers as usual. Use R-studio or similar program to recover the deleted data with wildcards like *.DOC for example.

Don't Worry .. Be Happy!!!

:whistle:

I had same problem and I just googled and found the solution. you don't need to format or some superman shows ...

go to Control Pannel ->Administrator Tools ->Services and disable Indexing Services ( by double click on it and choosing "disable" in Startup Type)

you don't need this unless you use the Search feature every 10 secs :(

it's a very bad idea to interupt chkdsk!

boot into SAFE MODE and use RUN->CMD->chkdsk /f

and leave it alone until done.

whatever is left is good data and the filesystem is consistent.

I did the same but Not in safe mode ... I just closed explorer and other programs to provide using my F: partition (Cause my F: partition had problem) and in Run Command I Typed CHKDSK f: /f

Good Luck :thumbup
