Program Files Missing / Corrupted : Asking For Chkdsk Utility?
Oct 27, 2006My computer was OK since I shut it off last night. I don't know if I did something wrong to it. This morning, at the logon menu I was surprised~ There are many message boxes appeared saying that Program files is corrupted and bla bla bla~ If my dad knows this, I'll get grounded. The next thing I realised is, there are these start bar messages telling me " The file or directory H:Program Files is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility" and H is where my program files folder is because I renamed it from C to H.

Feb 22, 2005I was trying to defrag my aunt's comuter witht the Windows (xp home) built in defragger. I got an error message that said to run scan disk or chkdsk.
While I'm familiar with scan disk, I know it's not an option on xp. So I went to "start", "run", and typed in chkdsk and hit ok...up pops a dos window and it says something to the fact of : "f parameter not specified. running chkdsk in read only mode", and then it does a quick run and nothing happens. I still can't defrag. How do I run chkdsk.

Apr 25, 2007To bring you up to date here is what I said last time
MY ORIGINAL POST
I am running Win XP SP2.
The last 3 times I turned on the computer it put itself through CHKDSK.
Each time finding loads of problems with $130 also loads of orphaned files.
What is going on? How do I fix it?
Ray
HERE IS THE ADVICE I RECEIVED
Go to
All Programs>Accessories>Command prompt and type
chkdsk /r (there is a space before /)
Enter
Reboot and it will run
NOW
I followed the advice and it all worked perfectly for the next 2 times that I turned on my computer. This morning I turned on and it was back to going through CHKDSK again.
I have up to date AVG anti virus.
I ran a full system check. Nothing found.
I have up to date Spybot.
I ran a full system check. Nothing found.
I hace Comodo Firewall. Up to date
I ran Registry Mechanic.
What else can I do?

May 7, 2007I am using an IBM Thinkpad R40 that runs XP. It was running extremely slow, so I asked someone for some ideas. The first thing they told me to do was run a CHKDSK. (start run ect.) and walked me through the scheduling process. Well, when I rebooted, it took 4 plus hours, to tell me an error had occured and I am stuck looking at a blue screen. If I let it sit long enough, it repeats the process. I have attempted to cancel the check, but again it freezes on the blue screen. I have attempted to start it in safe-mode with the same result. How do I get to windows?

Nov 2, 2007I am getting an error in the cmd when I performed a CHKDSK
The error is WINDOWS discovered free space area marked as allocated in MFT
I tried using the scan disk option and performed a thorough scan but again when i run that in the cmd i get the same error . I also did a recovery console where it said that windows has fixed one or more errors but still the problem persisits.

CHKDSK /f /r
Feb 28, 2008I had something happen to my computer after I did a �CHKDSK /f /r�. When I went to use excel, and clicked on my tab key, the cursor went backwards. Then I tried to select a file and it would not let me select one file, it hi-lighted all the files. I finally closed out excel and tried to restore my computer to an earlier time thinking I got a virus. I did not open any e-mails that day, and it was running ok the night before. The restore froze and would not work. I just shut down my computer at the master switch and re-booted. Everything was ok after that. Excel worked fine, and all was good. I ran my AVG virus program to check for a virus, it found nothing. I thought it was a coincidence that this happened after the CHKDSK /f /r parms. Does anyone know what happened? The reason I did a CHKDSK /f /r was my Perfect Disk program did not defrag completely and the vendor told me to do this to do an offline defrag. I tried an offline defrag before, but I got errors on my drive and could not do it, that�s why they told me to use the CHHDSK /f /r. Also, is there anyway that I can put something in my restore to not let �ANY� virus come in so I can restore in case I got a virus? I use xp professional

Apr 7, 2008I recently had a virus and have an error of "Unmountable Boot Volume" when starting my computer. I googled it and found out that if I type in "Chkdsk /r" Into the recovery console it will fix it. But I was unable to find out whether chkdsk /r effects any of my files on the computer. Will this delete them or keep them untouched? Or is there any other way to fix my problem without losing my files?

Jul 27, 2010I am unable to clean up my C drive and when trying to run the defrag program I keep getting the message
"Disk defragmentor has detected that Checkdisk is due to run on the volume HP Pavillion C: run Chkdsk /f. "
However when I type that into the command box I get the message "chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process" It then asks if I want to run it at next startup but this makes no difference and so groundhog day begins.
CHKDSK
Aug 4, 2005Since running CHKDSK on my XPSP2 PC, it keeps starting up with a CHKDSK run.
After completion I get a normal Windows startup and perfect running. Is
there something that causes this behaviour and can this CHKDSK be skipped?

Aug 10, 2005I have a dual boot system; XP and W2000. I am having a problem with the XP
drive (D. The system would not boot up in XP, I would get a blue screen
that flashed on and off so quickly that I could not read it. I did see
chkdsk and virus. Since the drive was recently scanned for viruses and I
had recently installed a DVD-RW drive, I tried to chkdsk. Windows 2000
(C worked properly and I was able to run chkdsk / f on the C: drive and
the extended drives. The D: drive and its extended drives did not appear in
My Computer so I could not chkdsk. Finally, I was able to boot the D:
drive in safe mode and ran chkdsk. The process did not complete, after
about 9% it would restart. Since the D: drive now appears in My Computer
in W2000 I ran chkdsk /f on the drive and got the following message: "Chkdsk
cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk may run
if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPEN HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD
THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume" This
reads as something I want to do, but I don't have a clue.

ChkDsk Keeps Going And Going
Mar 29, 2005Last week I installed a new harddrive (200GB) via an ATA/133 controller card
to use as a backup for my primary and secondary harddrives that are installed
to the motherboard ATA controller. The controller card hard has been in the
computer for over a year with other devices attached.
My boot drive is an 80 GB drive that came with the computer.
The slave drive on the motherboard primary is a 120 GB drive that has been
acting strangely lately (becomes "unreadable" after extended use, problems
with finishing speed disk). It contains some large video files (up to 20 GB).
While attempting to copy the contents of the 120GB drive to the backup
drive, the 120GB drive became unreadable (stops copying, disappears from
Windows Explorer).
Upon restart, CHKDSK apears to have started and has been running for several
days. The screen is currently going through "Insufficient disk space to
hotfix unreadable file" and a number. The number is now over 165000.
Any idea if this thing is looking at clusters and will try to go to multiple
millions on the 120GB drive? What will shutting down the computer so that
other diagnostics can be run do to the drive and its data ?
All volumes are NTFS with XP SP2 running as the OS.
Any ideas?
Chkdsk Ignored
Aug 2, 2005My computer has started to show the dreaded blue screen, when I run chkdsk
without any parameters it states; there are file errors, but there are no bad

However when I try to run chkdsk /f; I go through the usual procedure ; type
y to run when I next start Windows, but when windows restarts it ignores this
and goes back to my desk top.

Jun 21, 2010I run a mission-critical business machine for my small company, running XP Pro SP3.
I periodically run Error Checking on the C: drive from in Windows, without checking the box for it to fix file system errors (or to check for bad sectors). Occasionally, after at least half-way through Phase 2, it says it couldn't complete (which I assume is due to encountering an open file). So, I run it again, and invariably it completes without incident.
A few days ago, as an extra measure of prudence, I told it to fix file system errors. It responded by saying it can't run that unless I schedule it to run on the next reboot, so I did.
The following is the log file (Event Viewer - Applications - winlogon). It "fixed" a few things. Is this enough to worry about, or is our system probably ok?

Chkdsk Log Size
Jul 4, 2005The problem is that the max size of a single log is 16kB. More than enough
when everything is ok but
too small when your disk has some problems, and the list of involved files
may be very long.
Is there a way to increase the max size of a log? Or, alternatively, in
chksdk options can you specify a text file as log output?
Chkdsk Not Acting Right
