I've been using Windows 10 since January and this is a first weird event (other than forced updates of course). Two days ago, during restart, before I had a chance to select windows 7 or 10, my laptop was doing major disk checking of the Windows 10 partition. Windows 7 and data partitions were also checked, but were OK. Windows 10 has problems. - Thousands of entries said something about EA attributes ... but then, thousands of lines later, event log ended - Reliability View for May21 reports that Windows stopped working - Then yesterday Acronis imaging threw a warning (not error) about MFT bitmap corrupted. That really got me scared even though everything seems to work just fine. - Today I repeated chkdsk of the Windows 10 partition. I ran it from windows 7, and it reported 33320 reparse records. ... and on and on it goes ... and shows no end in sight other than a message that all bad files were moved (or copied, can't recall) to "Found" folder. Windows 10 has a "Found.000" folder. It's empty. I googled these out - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes it might as well be written in chinese. There is something about those EA attributes in the OS/2 section there. Means nothing to me. - http://superuser.com/questions/292338/chkdsk-questions This link is a bit more clear, says not to worry, but the answer was to the user who had only few such records I still don't know if chkdsk was even completed since the event log is cut off. I think not. How can I tell? And how can I tell if MFT is or is not OK? EDIT: should I have posted this is Backup/disk mgt section?
