And have more than one of them.

This morning I woke up to a message on our server saying that $Volume was corrupt, and that I needed to run chkdsk.  This machine has a bunch of disks in it, and one of the disks has a number of partitions.  I proceeded to go through all the disks running chkdsk /f on them (which didn’t work for most of them because they were in use.)

At some point, I realized that a disk was missing.  Our newest backup drive (a 750GB eSata drive from Seagate) didn’t appear in Explorer.  I quickly popped into Disk Management, and was presented with a wizard wanting to initialize a drive.  That’s right, the whole thing was gone.  It’s formatting now, and luckily it was just bakups, but for right now, I only have one copy of some things, and only two copies of other (more important) things.

Scary.
