help needed in checkdisk

hey,
some files of my c:\ drive has been corrupted.(fidbox.dat)
and on every restarts it asks for check disk but it stops at step 2(verifying indexes) at zero percent.. :cry:

and if a pen drive is inserted in the usb port then my keyboard doesn't work so, i cant even cancel the disk check without removing the pen drive.
and when i try to check disk using chkdsk command it doesn't work it says
"error found . check disk cannot continue in read only mode" and also never goes above zero percent in stage 2....
help me .
i have windows xp with sp3

a> Why do u keep USB drives plugged in and reboot? If its having problem, remove and reboot. I don't think its an issue.

b>What is the size of ur C drive? chkdsk may take time depending on the size of teh drive and contents of it.
Again, stage 2 generally takes time. Keep it as it is as long as it wants to take. Its better u run chckdsk once full.

c>chckdsk can't operate on C (supposing its where ur OS is) as it needs to unmount any held files which is not possible while booted in OS.
But, it would work perfectly on other drives u have. Try that. U don't (may not) need to reboot to run chckdsk in those drives.

S

cancel chkdsk on starup

go to windows cmd prompt

type

chkdsk /r

but the restart is not in my control.
it automatically reboots

It happened to me once, mine got stuck at scanning files,
one day I decided to keep it going, after 10 minutes are so, it started to scan, the entire scan took around 40+ minutes.
Try doing that.

U can wait for da chkdsk 2 complete. Ur hdd may develope some fault check with other disk utily for bad sector. Chkdsk will hang if bad sectors is detected

thanx as my problemhas been solved
left it for superlong time

have fun buddy
