Re: ChkDsk
Yes, it should run normally. It would be hard to miss, at reboot, having a
big blue screen with some text, coming up shortly after you booted. It
finishes it's scan with a lot of text. But it's not working, as you say.
Given your original post, I think it's important to run chkdsk, one way or
another, or at least try. The error messages, and the failure of chkdsk to
run as scheduled, is not looking good.
You may also want to do this. Right click on Command Prompt (Start
Menu\Programs\Accessories), and choose
Run as Administrator. Copy the following, and Paste it after the prompt.
sfc /SCANFILE="C:\Windows\System32\chkdsk.exe"
Press Enter.
sfc /SCANFILE="C:\Windows\System32\autochk.exe"
Press Enter.
If everything's okay, you'll get a positive message from Windows Resource
Protection regarding each file. If you want to check all your system files,
and some pertinent registry keys, Copy and Paste this:
sfc /scannow
Press Enter. It may take a few minutes...
