Partition Magic reports error #1516 Partition improperly dismounted:

"The partition dirty flag is set in a restart record in the journal file. This error may have been caused by a power failure or system crash while the Windows NT operating system was writing the partition.
This problem can often be resolved by running CHKDSK /F on the affected drive."

OK, but how do I run CHKDSK /F, since Win 2000 Professional will not boot?

I can boot to DOS from a floppy, but DOS cannot see the NTFS partition. I CAN boot to the NTFS partition using Active@ Partition Recovery, but since I have no backup of the MBR, I cannot restore it.

What I need to do is boot to the NTFS partition in DOS, then run CHKDSK /F. How do I do this?
 
You should beable to boot from the CD, and select recovery from it. Then it will put you in DOS, so you can run CHKDSK /f.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
