i have windows xp professional and my computer says that certain files contain errors and i need to run checkdisk to remove them and when i try to do it manually it says something like bust and will be done when restarted but it does nor run when i restart it.what am i to do :roll: :roll: :roll:

just go to start, then run... now type this command,

chkdsk :z /f z is ur drive letter.... replace x with ur drive... now it will ask u to enter y or n if that drive has any system files.... press Y... now reboot... system will going to check ur disk at the next start up... (if u dont cancle it manually...)

thanks but i have tried all the commands but it does not work

Hi,
Try this. Go to Start > Run and type cmd and press Enter key. Here at the Command Prompt, type chkntfs /d and press Enter key. Then restart the system. Windows should start checking ALL the disk drives at the restart. Allow it to complete the process. If it finds any error, it will fix them.

Note: chkntfs works in both FAT32 and NTFS file systems. There is a SPACE between chkntfs and /

i dont no whats wrong but nothing happened at the start uo
the usual message that your disk need to be checked for errors but disk checking has been cancelled-i did not even press a button
i have even reinstalled xp but the problem presists especially with the c drive where windows is installed
is there a tool for running checkdish which i download

Hi,
Try this. Go to Command Prompt and type chkntfs /x C: and press Enter key. Restart the system and check whether the chkdsk appears or not. It should not appear now.

this is something new now
no luck with chkdsk but when i type what u have stated here it says your file system is FAT32 :evil:

what do i do know :wink:

Does it ask to scan the drive during each restart now?

yes it does when i open certain programs which have errors on it as windows was not shut properly
