How to run chkdsk utility

[dannydy]

my computer recently prompted up a message showing that some of the file was corrupted,and asked me to run chkdsk utility.
how do i run chkdsk utility instead of using window xp cd.thanks

In your "my computer", right click on your hard drive, select properties, tools, error checking!!!!!!

 

[dannydy]

cant perform error checking,because it exceed some file on window,and ask me to shecdule this disk check to occur the next time i restart the computer.i cliked ok, and restart.the windows just restart as usual.
and i've try the chkdsk c: /f/r, still can not perform the chkdsk while i restarting ym com.

Sounds like you have a bad file sector.

Does it give you a number before restarting then during chkdsk it says: 'An unspecified error occured'?

 

[dannydy]

no,it doesn;t show anything.it just cant perform the chkdsk while i restarting my com.

 

[sw123]

You mean like, it says you have to restart it b4 u run chkdsk? I do that when I run chkdsk, though the last time I did one was like, last year...lol

Run antivirus and antispyware scans on your pc!!!! Then try again!!!!

 

[dannydy]

C:\Documents and Settings\Danny>chkdsk c: /f/r
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) Y

This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts.

it didnt perform the chkdsk while the computer is restarting.just restart as normal.

 

[Rik]

Have you virus and spyware scanned as i suggested??? If so, what with???

 

[dannydy]

yap i did the scanned already.and i've try again.but still remain.
it there other solution?

 

[OUhhp]

During the boot process, try to get into the Microsoft Recovery Console. This should be an option when it detects which OS to load. It will just drop you into DOS and you can run chkdsk /r from there.

[dannydy]

Go to you partition of C drive, click on properties,under Tool of error-checking, click check Now, then tick -automatic fix file system error.
Then you computer will schedule on it when the time the system restarted.
Then next time you system restarting, a blue screen will appear to run check disk.let it finished then you problem will fixec.

 

[Rik]

dragongirl89, the easiest way to get rid of that error is to turn system restore off then on again. If you should need help with that - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

I have done all that has been sugessted above. Nothing. everytime I start up my computer or open any program. This box pops up

lets say I open AOL .

Pop up is

AOL.EXE. Corrupt file
The file or directory /program file /google is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility.


anyone thanks

 

[Patrickja2007]

Observation: Your chkdsk is already in the wrong directory. It has to be in the system32 dir. why? because there are other file it needs to carry out the execution and, that is the reason you are getting the message already used by other process.

How

How do I fix this pop up corrupt file from poping up everytime I run any program

Thanks

 

[dannydy]

Try to reinstall it under control panel(Dont Uninstall). Or you can download and use RegCure to Fix.

Hi captgene,
can you create a new post in this forum, stating the problem and everything that you have done since having it.

This thread is very old (started by dannydy back in October last year ! )

It is wiser to create a new post

This thread should be closed

I did run regcure. its telling me I have 938 errors can this be right????? It also wants me to buy the program to remove these errors. Sounds fishy to me.
Any suggestion ???? Does regcure really work to fix my pop up and make system run smoother
gb

 

[kimsland]

Yes "Regcure" is a pay for program.
It detects many things, including reg keys that are vacant or void (shortcuts that no longer exist)
These registry entries can be made by programs that have been un-installed, but the registry shortcut still exists.

Although Regcure is a good program, I advise you not to purchase it, or to repair all the problems, without knowing what they are. (especially without a restore point being made.

As stated in my previous post, you are advised to create a New Thread for your problem, otherwise you may not receive the best support for you.
I advise you again, to create a NEW THREAD, for your benefit.
You do not need to reply here as well. Just state everything you have done so far, and what the fault is.
