Oh man, I just gotten this error message, “Replacing invalid security id with default security id for file filename.” It has almost been 2 hours and I’m still stuck on that screen on my other computer. It annoys and worries me. Microsoft tries to explain vaguely:
The specified file has an invalid security ID. Each file on an NTFS or FAT volume has a security ID assigned it. The ID assigned to the data file does not match the ID assigned to security data stream file ($SDS). There is a mismatch in Ids. Chkdsk is replacing the invalid security ID. No user action required.
I hope my computer will be okay. Not the best time of the day. All I did was to do a restart and I gotten this shit. Quite a few people online are also having a similar error message. Seems like the advice is just to wait. Still I want to know what happen.

by angel (Feb 13, 2009 at 6 AM)how meny files did it go through befor it finnished, just for an idea.
by Aled (Mar 30, 2009 at 4 AM)The first time this happened to me, I let it go through a bunch of files, then I canceled it. When I started windows xp, 32bit, sp2. I couldn’t access any files, copy and paste and my windows startbar was gone. I have to OS’s installed on my comp, so I logged into windows xp64bit, and it tried to start replacing the security Id’s again, but I canceled immediately.
I then downloaded this program
http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix
I had to download it on xp64 installation, because the 32bit one was messed up. But if you can access the internet you should be fine.
In that program, there is a little “hammer” icon. Clicking on that brings up the “tools” menu.
One of the options in the tools menu is to REPAIR PERMISSIONS. I used that, and it repaired enough things to get my computer back to working order, although it did not completely fix the problem.
This issues still happens everytime I restart my computer, So I always have to cancel it.
I think it may have something to do with my running realVNC, and some other remote control components, Server-type components.
by Verb (Apr 7, 2009 at 11 PM)hey,
Does anyone have a solution for this?? Why does this issue happen, and no nothing to do with realVNC, its something with the cloning?? I have tried everything, BIOS updates, Newsid before and after etc etc

by Sam (Oct 30, 2009 at 8 AM)oh,my god ,it happened to me today, I goast my system,and come in the new system,but when I restore,I start chdk,and shows my volums is dirty .it’s so danger.who can help me ? please email 1283377682@qq.com and tell me why ?
by sidashuai (Dec 23, 2009 at 11 PM)It happened to me today, I wait for about 30 minutes after it run over 37000 files, then boot into windows again. I can use my laptop normally now.
I wonder if it is related to the hardware or OS, or both? I’m using ASUS K40IN notebook, Intel T4300 CPU, 4GB memory, 500GB HDD, Windows7 64bit Premium, what’s yours?
Actually I have been met blue screen several times(I bought this laptop Dec. 2009, it’s only 4 months), but this time is most critical.
