Something I hate is hard drives (non-SSD) & their warranties...
It's fuzzy logic! When you enter into this area, you will walk into a secret forrest with people that lost all sense of logic.
Example: my hard drive store http://harddata.nl is specialized in hard drives. Not many shops out there that do! I really need their experiences when it comes to buying a new drive and I am willing to take a long (!) drive for their shop... BUT this is what sometimes happens... A drive will check 100% OK (SMART, badblocks) and still lose integrity on file system level (NTFS). The volume bitmap for example will have incorrect size almost after every reboot. Other drives will not have this problem with this computer, even replacing with same brand & model & type drive will often not have problems on the "offending" computer. Still, the "experts" will tell you the drive is just great and my computer is at fault. Very hard to win on arguments & logic if this is all you get to hear. True, they will replace the drive as a "gesture" for which I should be "grateful". And they will insist the drive is working 100% to this day with them, even after they started using it 2 years ago.
YET...
Today I had a friend where this problem occured. This drive wasnot sold at that store, but an original drive belonging to the Dell PC and in general a perfect example of what happened to me many times.
For the drive, I tested everything, and everything was 100% Still, Acronis Drive Moniitor clearly shows the boot-time chkeck disk warnings:
Cleaning up 1 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9. Cleaning up 1 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9. Cleaning up 1 unused security descriptors. CHKDSK is verifying Usn Journal... Usn Journal verification completed. 78116030 KB total disk space. 24627652 KB in 88662 files. 31592 KB in 13793 indexes. 0 KB in bad sectors. 301398 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 53155388 KB available on disk. 4096 bytes in each allocation unit. 19529007 total allocation units on disk. 13288847 allocation units available on disk.
I have seen this MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY TIMES :( New drives, old drives, it doesn't matter.
I always was sure I WAS RIGHT, but "the experts" insisted I was wrong.
Today I did the Pepsi test ;p (Pepsi lost :>)
I have two Dell machines (Optiplex 745). My friend has a Dell Optiplex 745 too! And after doing everything to save her Windows XP installation, I decided just to swap hardware al together! So I took her harddrive and I put it in my machine - which always WORKED FLAWLESSLY!
So this way I could prove that
1. RAM was not a problem,
2. cables were not a problem, and
3. mobo or power is not a problem - despite "expert" opinions.
If I couldn't get the filesystem stable in this new PC only LOGICAL conclusion is that "something" goes wrong with THE DISK ITSELF! NO OTHER EXPLANATIONS*! (But still, the expert in the shop will explain to me why their drive is not at fault - he will even get emotional to the point I'm not allowed to ask any in-depth questions anymore, forever...!). Man, funk that sheit! For the conclusion is clear, my friend's drive still gives log files like the one copied above... I will buy her a new drive and I'll bet that everything will work flawlessly in her "broken" computer ;p
I should post some more old links of mine to give a complete overview of this problem - including the fact that so many information is kept secret, especially when it comes to recovery and analysis software. Those people will really get upset, even online, when you ask in-depth questions... General consensus: whom the frack do I think I am to ask questions like that and even worse, thinking I know better...
Well, I'll answer who I am... A patient person who will test all possibilities before complaining to a store... And a person willing to go the extra mile to prove the expert's opinion is wrong (even if they are right, I'll always learn something new ; ).
So till the <EDIT> for links, after KVM Switch article is finished. Will take some time - for I have none at the moment... ;p
NO Karma NOR Peace for the Hard Drive Experts!

* it could be a Windows XP / OS problem too... No doubt replacing the drive tonight will prove this theory wrong too ;p

This happens to me before, it is the mechanical fault. Disk platters are alright, there are times when the motor does not spin at the correct speed causes the problem. When serious, my PC just froze, not even a blue screen.
When I bought them down to support centre, they check it and claim no problem and refuse an exchange or to raise a repair order. A few months later, the HDD fail physically, no read/write sound. Luckily, I only lost some data with the help of frequent backups knowing this hard disk is going to die soon.
Still prefer HDD over SSD as it still offers the highest storage capacity per device and it is relatively cheap.
You may try this software "HD Sentinel", it will diagnose the problem the mechanical HDD is facing.

You have not teeled us what type of drive you have. Manufactor and drive type. Many of the large manufactors have lowlevel test available for ther drive so you can test the drive in deept. That ofen also have firmware update for common problem on ther drives. Have you looked in this?
But to get the right tool and firmware you need serch for your drive typ number.
You have tool s like this example. WD Grren GP serie: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=608&sid=3&lang=en (http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=608&sid=3&lang=en)

I know these tools, but as far as memory serves me right, they all do badblock testing and low level formats... I will look into Leeway's remarks - I do like hard disk sentinel pro, but stopped using it for their warez version often has very nasty virii included :s
I'll install it on my friend's hdd and see if it finds anything special...

... platters are alright, there are times when the motor does not spin at the correct speed causes the problem. When serious, my PC just froze, not even a blue screen.
This is EXACTLY what I've seen throughout the years on different systems... I even had a system like that: total sudden freeze. Frozen in time, no beep, no warning, nothing. That old comp of mine, had these problems caused by faulty RAM... I guess, for I burned some circuits on that old AMD 750+ when not fitting RAM correctly... Big flame, bad smell and freezing system afterwards ;)
I do think it is an original answer (speed of disk), for it is the only thing I never thought about... Nor did the shop owners ever mentioned it ;p
VERY curious now if there is a (real-time) solution to monitor for these faults... Are you sure HD Sentinel can do this???
Karma...!

Remeber also that ther is different kind of disks that have a purpose profile like the most Green disk have spindown and therfor is not applicable to use as RAID disks.
And
Ther can also be something related to the famus Seagate problem:

I asked what brand the drive is and what type (number) so I could try to help you more.
Have you search on the web for your kind of disk an sutable problem description for your drive to se if other have the same problem?

Ok, your links definitely trigger my curiosity, although I think it is a dead-end. I've seen it over the years so many times, so many systems, ... I think it must be something very generic.
Still, here is the info ;)

Searching for a free Windows stress test tool that would remove and copy many small (and bigger files) to see if errors can be triggered, I found not much.
This I found, HeavyLoad (http://www.jam-software.com/heavyload/). It sounds fancy, but all it does (for HDDs) is growing a big file - an option configures how much free space should be reserved. Run it.
I than added 5x cmd.exe command prompts.
I did (in each one):
cd\
mkdir temp
cd temp
xcopy c:\windows\*.* /s /v /c /i /h /r /Y .
This last command I'll repeat for 30 times, simply while the command already is executing, by buffering it all to memory like follows:
press key up (this repeats last command) and press enter
press key up (this .. command) and press enter
repeat this many times in all 5 command prompts.
THEN I open another cmd prompt. Here, another command should be repeated many many times (from C:\temp):
del *.* /f /s /q
To up the stress, one (I;) could start a complete antivirus scan on the C:-drive. Start defragmenting to top it off. Let it run overnight (or as long as you dare) and abort all (command prompts can simply be closed by pressing the x-cross).
In command prompt, type last command:
chkdsk c: /f /v /x /r
--> gives FULL disk check, or use:
chkdsk c: /f /v /x
--> for faster checkdisk.
Restart the computer, and watch carefully for the last seconds of the disk check (or look in the event logs, or even better: keep Acronis Drive Monitor installed) and see if sheit has hit the fan again :s

grab notepad:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(){
FILE* f = fopen("a.txt","a");
while(true){
fprintf(f,"adsdasdasdasadsadsadsdasqe76fdavhdasyuvasd wdaybbdfesxcbbdas_hgbasdfgvdas\n");
printf("asddasdas\n");
}
printf("asdf");
return 0;
}
Now, grab your favourite C compiler and compile
Run your executable for hours and watch the HDD be filled.
Check logs
I don't know if the sintax is 100% OK, since I haven't touched C/C++ in a while :'(, but that should do or give the idea... it basically makes a text doccument and appends data to it.. so it can eventually cope your hard-drive (slow process though). Maybe you'll see the errors while it runs... just and idea.

Ok, these tests do not turn out the way I expected :s
Normally, replacing the hard drive would solve problems like incorrect volume bitmap. But my testing now does not trigger that exact problem... Still it is something that has been bugging me for years. Example links:
- http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system/autochkexe-keeps-corrupting-and-lead-into-bsods/9800c175-f190-4d1d-b2f2-139b3f09fffd

So I followed the link, give by HD Sentinel. There I went to: http://www.microsoft.com/products/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Windows%20Operating%20System&ProdVer=&EvtID=1001&EvtSrc=Winlogon&FileVer=&FileName=&EvtType=&LCID=1033
Copy Paste:
If the media does not accept write-through semantics, inconsistencies in the file-system metadata might occur when there is a sudden loss of power or a system failure.
--> Could it be that the Index-problems are caused by a premature power off when shutting windows down?
:s
Baaaad karma :(

FROM: http://www.eventid.net/display-eventid-1001-source-Winlogon-eventno-2555-phase-1.htm
There seem to be a lot of answers, all pointing to more or less the same thing.
IF ANYONE still has an EventID.net subscription... DO some copy pastes, pretty please? :)
Snippets offered:
- if you check your hard disk drive with CHKDSK in Read Only mode and it has files currently open or in use by Windows NT. See M109524 for details.
- As per Microsoft: "This problem occurs because if Chkdsk is run against an NTFS volume, Chkdsk.exe may report that security descriptors are in the database that are no longer referenced by any file or folder and that it is removing them. However, Chkdsk.exe just reclaims the unused security descriptors as a housekeeping activity, and it does not actually fix any kind of problem". See M255008 and M218461 to fix this problem.
So basically I should just ignore this warning as non-important...? ???
If so, one day I'll revive this thread when I encounter an unstable disk again, one that constantly gives incorrect volume bitmap problems instead of "just" the index problems.
The index problems, for now, are going to be ignored by me. STILL a PAIN that Acronis marks it as a real error. Which it, in my opinion, is ;p

What I can find out you have the lates firmware at the disk.
One thing I was wonder have you checked so the mounting screws do not touch the PCB board on the HD. That can give some very nasty effects and fails that is difficalt to find. Check also the ventilation around the disk. WD is famus to be hot and that can in the end give read/writ fault.
Her is a few thred that you can checkout if ther help you:

Pez, thank you for thinking along.
But I also had a Maxtor disk with these problems...? It (=index problem) seems to be a software problem, not a hardware problem...?
BUT again, my original post was mainly made for Incorrect Volume Bitmap problems that will re-appear time after time. The index problem appears to be different :s

"Just wanted to post my experience with this Volume Bitmap problem.
First I began to see it on my external hard drive connected to my USB 2.0 port. It ran perfectly for a while and then after what I think may be a stalled system requiring a Power Off button push to resolve (don’t you just hate those failures?). After the machine rebooted (WinXP Pro on ThinkPad A31p system) I noticed that when I manually chksdsk’d the external drive that I would get the error message everyone is seeing. The problem actually got worse because at one point the system would schedule a chkdsk on the drive EVERY TIME. Man, was this frustrating.
Anyway, I complained to the external drive provider (Apricorn, but Fujitsu made the drive), they sent me a new circuit board adapter (it attaches to the drive’s connector and translates the r/w to USB) and suggested to exchange the old for the new. Did this but kept getting the error message even though the chkdsk on every reboot went away.
Called Apricorn and the tech rep said to stop/disconnect the drive just before the next shutdown. Once I performed this, the drive began to behave properly. Don’t ask me why, but that is what solved my problem and I no longer see it at all.
Hope this helps someone.
Charles (January 2, 2004)"

"Stacey (June 21, 2004)
Strangely enough, if I open a command window and run chkdsk without changing from the default directory, I get this: Correcting errors in the master file table’s (MFT) BITMAP attribute. Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap. Windows found problems with the file system. Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.
But if I change to the root directory first, no errors are reported. Anyone else seeing this?"
and:
"Hello,
my feeling is that there could be several different reasons for the problem with the volumebitmap, which occured on my Dell Optiplex GX 270 from one day to the other on drive c:. Nothing helped since I tried to stop all unneeded processes and services.
After I deactivated the “GhostStartupService” the problem was fixed.
Just try."
and:
"Niels (July 28, 2004)
I have an 5 months old IBM Thinkpad with a Toshiba drive. I get the same Volume Bitmap “error”. I started out by reverting the harddisk to what IBM calls “Factory contents” which means that the drive is reformatted, and all IBM software is reinstalled. I still got the error. I have been in contact with IBM and they sent me a tool called Drive Fitness Test. I checks all physical aspects of the drive - NO ERROR. The problem is definately a bug, and not a hardware issue. When NT5 (Win2K) was developed, changes was made to NTFS. Amongst other things to support larger drives. It looks like the problem can be traced back to that time…
Just thought it could be helpful."

"Regie (October 22, 2004) By the way, after I did an defrag, the BITMAP attribute error disappeared!"
and:
"Anonymous (February 6, 2005)
I tried the prefetch thing and lo and behold it gets rid of the volume bitmap message when I run chkdsk. If I enable it again however the message comes back. What gives? I also have an indexes error in Norton Disk Doctor that does not show up in safe mode. I am beginning to think NDD is getting it wrong more than it gets it right."
and:
"Gnugs (March 16, 2005)
Nice idea about the cacheing. Works for you but not for me. NDD still shows a security descriptor error starting it several minutes after the splash screen goes away. I’m in the process of bugging MS about this and will post their response if they ever get around to it. Since they exported their support to ASIA, I’ve been getting extremely polite but uninformed answers to questions about SP2. BTW, I seem to be getting the Bitmap Fixing Error Chkdsk message after another message saying that it’s corrcting a Usn segment. Anybody getting this. Also, I have 5 machines running XP all getting it and two running 2000 and NOT getting it."

"The volume corruption (even if sounds interesting) usually completely independent from the hard disk itself
but can be caused by many other factors (data / power cables, hard disk controller drivers, physical memory problems,
overheat conditions, overclock, non-standard reboot / reset, power loss and so)" (HDS)

Visit the Windows 8 Solution Center: This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you.
Summary
On a computer running an operating system listed in the Applies To section, you create or extend a volume. The size of the volume is a multiple of 8 gigabytes (GB). For example, the size of the volume is 8,192 megabyte (MB), 16,384 MB, 32,768 MB, etc. (NOTE: 1 GB equals 1,024 MB).
Symptoms
You may experience one or more of the following problems
When you run the ChkDsk.exe utility on the volume in read-only mode (no switches) you receive an error message similar to one of the following:
The Volume Bitmap is incorrect.
Windows found problems with the file system.
Error detected in index $I30 for file 5.
<Number> index entries processed.
Index verification completed.
Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.
Restoring computer settings from System Restore point results in an unbootable operating system or corrupt files.
Restoring files from an effected volume using the "Previous Versions" tab may result in restored files being in a corrupted state.
When you use a backup application that leverages the Windows VSS Volume Shadow Copy feature to create snapshots during a backup, one or more files are found to be corrupt after a restore.
Note NTBackup, Windows Server Backup, System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) or any third-party backup application’s backed-up data can be impacted. Please review the More Information Section on correcting this with Microsoft DPM or contact your third-party backup solution manufacturer to determine if they are using the Windows VSS Volume Shadow Copy feature to create their backups.

Cause
When a VSS Volume Shadow copy is invoked on an extended volume, the volume bitmap used to track cluster usage may not accurately reflect clusters that are in use by files that fall on an 8GB file system boundary. Consequently, data read or copied from a shadow copy may not accurately represent the file data. When the data is saved to the destination, it is saved in a corrupted state.
Resolution
Microsoft has determined this to be a bug in the product and has corrected the issue in either a service pack or a hotfix depending upon the OS where the volume originated.
A hotfix is available for the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2)

Something I learned with mechanical hard drives quite a few years back, especially closer to physical failure, is to try to put the failing drive in a freezer for 20 minutes, then try to spin it up. It sounds so against what we're taught, especially with extreme temperatures and moisture, but I've used it 10, maybe 12 times throughout my IT tech career, and it's worked all but twice. Also, don't try it with SSDs.
