I try not        SM> to warm my drives over 35øC.              True. Yes, integrated-circuits are best kept in cooler temps.        Meanwhile, my HDD seems to settle at 32C for most of the time.               AA>> Index verification completed.        AA>> Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.               SM> It only says that these files are currently open. This is normal. Try        SM> HDDscan. https://hddscan.com/download.html              Thx for the tip.              Meanwhile, CHKDSK C: /F /V /R did its magic successfully.              https://susepaste.org/23321526              But I did a Cleanup and Defrag before that.              Now the T60 seems noticeably faster too. The defrag was        probably the most salient issue. I don't recall the last time        I even bothered to check defrag of the smaller C: partition.              The H: partition had no CHKDSK errors at all.       --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 114 206 307 317 400 424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/452 470 550 664 700 240/1120 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/81 120 460/58 633/267 280 281 384 412 416 418       SEEN-BY: 633/420 712/848 770/1       PATH: 221/1 280/464 633/280 229/426           |
