| | CHKDSK When I try to run CHKDSK, I get the screen below. I then try to run CHKDSK /f. At the next boot chkdsk does not run to repair the corrupt files; it just goes to a normal boot. The fact that there are corrupt files, it prevents a System Restore. I would like to know how to repair the corrupt files short of doing a reformat of the drive. |

You might try to see if one of these methods will allow you to run chkdsk during startup. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-checkdisk.html Shawn |

| | Re: CHKDSK Thanks for the reply. I tried both Methods One & Two and still can't get chkdsk /f to start when I boot. I have determined that the corrupt files are in the Microsoft Games folder. When I open the Games from the Start Menu, the folder is empty. I tried to delete this folder from Program Files and got the message, "An unexpected error is preventing the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem. Error 0x80070091: The directory is not empty." I copied the Microsoft Games folder from another computer running the same OS as mine, Vista Home Premium, and tried to replace the corrupt one on my computer and got the same message as just stated. When I click on the folder Microsoft Games in Program Files, I get the message, "Location is not available. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games is not accessible, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." When I first discovered that the Games folder was empty, I tried to do a System Restore to a day I knew that I could access the games. This is when I discovered that I was unable to do a System Restore until the corrupted files were repaired. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.
