chkdsk

[Krest]

I'm having this problem...i can't use chkdsk with the /F option...
I have errors on my disk and can't fix them...how can i use chkdsk
with the /F option before loading windows? (i have ntfs...so no dos...)...

 

[phishhead]

have you tried booting to safe mode and trying it...safe mode doesn't load all the drivers so this might help..or even boot to safe mode with cmd prompt. good luck

I did it...no luck...also ran chkdsk as a login script and as a startup script...again,no luck,the drive cannot be locked...

when you run chkdsk and it says drive is looked it should also say would you like to schedual the next time the system restarts

just type Y and when it restarts it will run before windows loads

 

[Krest]

It does...but it won't fix the errors...

Perhaps your system files are corrupt, just run sfc /scannow with XP CD in the tray, it will restore all the corrupt files ( Remember space before forward flash ! /)
