SYMPTOMS
========
CHKDSK may report lost clusters on a system when ScanDisk (or another
third-party surface scan utility) indicates that the disk has no problems.
CAUSE
=====
This situation occurs when you have corruption in the volume label. ScanDisk is
ignoring clusters assigned to volume labels, while CHKDSK is not.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, run CHKDSK /F.
