Re: "cannot open volume for direct access" - error message re chkd

Thanks, uvbogden, for your feedback. The System File Check did find some
errors, that we successfully repaired and got rid of the error message in the
Backup and Restore Center. It did not, however, resolve the problem with
chkdsk itself, or the fact that Diskeeper 2007 can no longer do a boot-time
defragmentation.

I guess I have no other alternative but to do a clean re-install of Vista
and hope for the best. Should I learn anything during that process or find
out at what precise point in time the problem starts to occur, I'll post it
here.
