run chkdsk

[original delboy]

Hi peeps i was running ontrack suite 4 (its like norton but is much easier to use) i just done a check on my system to clean files etc etc...after this was done and i clicked on finish etc and it just gives you the results...and this is what it said,

"disk fixer found problems with the file system. run chkdsk with the f/(fix) option to correct these"

So what exactly is this is something on xp itself that i gotto do😕

I use ontrack also it says that it found some errors on the disk so basically it is telling you to do a scan disk...

Hi i have just ran scan disk with nothing found🙂 but why does ontrack say "disk fixer found problems with the file system. run chkdsk with the f/(fix) option to correct these"
strange..

 

[phishhead]

did you run chkdsk/fix if so try sfc/fix from the run cmd...system file checker...

Hi adobo i just ran scan disk like right clicking on the c: drive and selecting to restart as when i restart the computer.

But i never done nothing like chkdsk/fix if so try sfc/fix from the run cmd...system file checker...how do i do that?

thx

got to start>>>run and type sfc/scannow or chkdsk/fix...if it wont run from the run command typ cmd and go to dos and type the cmds there. good luck

If you type chkdsk /f in the run box it will run next time XP boots
