CHKDSK attribute definition table

When I run chkdsk on start up I get an error after 5 of 5 tests done sayin
roughly,"insufficient space to fix the attribute definition table."

What does this mean?

Eitology: I am doing this because when copying file to my troubled secondary
hard drive it takes a long time and slows down to bits per minute (rather
than MB) and eventually say error in copying.

please help

Your problem is the hard drive controller driver.

Go to Start/Run, and type DEVMGMT.MSC , highlight the drive device, Action
menu, "Uninstall", (do Not put a check in 'delete driver") then Action
menu,"scan for hardware changes", to find the device drivers again
automatically.

Thanks for your response - I hope to get another. I tried your suggestion,
but to no avail. I have 2 hard drives that are identical. However, one works
fine, but the other does not. I have done extensive scans on it, revealing no
bad sectors. I formated it recently, but the error continues. I have copied
files onto it, but other times when I try it slow down mid way to miniscule
increments. It is a real mystery.

any ideas?
