I have run Chkdsk in wINdows. All the drives except one are healthy and no errors found.

when U CHKDSK'd the last drive i.e. F:, It first produces the warning that

WARNING! F parameters not specified. then
running CHKDSK in READ only mode

after varifying the files, it produces error that

at a particular file( Which is a movie folder) index entry is incorrect. after this
it produces the following error and stop.

CHKDSK cannot run in read-only mode.
