Yes I ran chkdsk c: /R
It was not my intention to be bitching about it. I just realized that 
the outcome or the result of the command was not what I had expected. I 
thought that c: would make chkdsk work only with c:!
I've now learned the hard way that that is not the case.
Usually the nice people here on the list can and will help even when 
someone makes a mistake.
I hope that there will not be a next time ;-)
