TI 8 says bad sectors - XP Check disk option says no bad sectors

Like others in this forum when I start a full backup of a 120Gb drive (TI 8.0 build 889) I receive the error:

E0000101F4: Failed to read data from the disk

Failed to read from the sector ....

The kicker here is that when I follow advice on this forum and run the check disk option under XP (a several hour exercise) I find no bad sectors! Has anyone else had this experience?

Is it possible that bad sectors exist, TI finds them, but the XP check disk utility has missed them. I find this hard to believe.

I agree with a previous post that one should have the option to automatically ignore all errors. You can't schedule a back-up in the middle of the night if it requires interaction to click the "ignore all" button.

 

I have a problem with both Partition Magic and TI which report an error (not same error message).
I have NTFS with Windows 2000.
Chkdsk /r does not find any problems.
Spinrite 6 does not find any problems.
Microsoft acknowledges that chkdsk may not report all errors in some obscure situations.
I have a file which I can not delete (and yes I do know about permissions, etc) - NTFS seems to think the file is encrypted (but it never has been and can not be decrypted!). I just can't do anything with the file.
The only solution seems to be to create a new partition, reinstall all programs and copy all data (minus the one file).
So chkdsk is not infallible.
Regarding your specific error message maybe the particular sector is really suspect - a program such as Spinrite would be needed to fix it.
Or you could create a new partition and reinstall everything, then format the old partition and see if the sector is fixed.
