Chkdsk utitily

hi, I am using windows vista for the last 1 year and for the last few days, i m getting errors like some of the files are corrupt and run the chkdsk utility. When i try to run the utility it's not starting. .

I tried in 2 ways.

1. Using command prompt.
2. Harddisk properties --> tools --> check disk. it says, its already running and schedule it again during startup. When I started the machine, chkdsk utility doesn;t start.

Help me in fixing the issue.

I would start by running an sfc /scannow to check for corrupt system files:- System Files - SFC Command

Please do not PM me to ask for support - please use the relevant thread or forum.

Hi Sivakumar,

In addition to John's post above, this tutorial may help you if the SFC command does not fix it for you.

Chkdsk will Not Run at Startup in Vista

Hope this helps,
Shawn

There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.
Please post feedback to help others.
