Hi Kenny,
<Snip from the article below>
Phase 3: Checking security descriptors
During its third pass, CHKDSK displays a message that tells you that
CHKDSK is verifying security descriptors and, for the third time,
displays "percent completed," counting from 0 to 100 percent. During
this phase, CHKDSK examines each security descriptor that is
associated with files or directories that are on the volume.
Security descriptors contain information about ownership of a file or
directory, about NTFS permissions for the file or directory, and about
auditing for the file or directory. The "percent completed" that
CHKDSK displays during this phase is the percentage of the volume's
files and directories that have been checked. CHKDSK verifies that
each security descriptor structure is well formed and is internally
consistent. CHKDSK does not verify the actual existence of the users
or groups that are listed or the appropriateness of the permissions
that are granted.

Could someone please explain in simple terms what these
are and how important they are? Reason I ask is that
Norton Disk Doctor found errors here and fixed them after
a re-boot.
Have Googled the term but didn't really understand the
things I was reading.
