Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2008 server running above esx4. I began noticing bad disk errors in the event logs.
I verified that the disk was local. (we currently do not run an external disks in this environment)
I successfully ran a chkdsk after a reboot and the .txt file confirmed that there were bad sectors.
I had heard that chkdsk and bad disk alerts may not be trustworthy in a vmware environment so I wanted to post here to ensure that it is possible that this bad disk process within vmware is the same as in a non vmware environment.
Thank you.
