| | Chkdsk fails with error message re no "direct access" to volume I had to force a shutdown after a freeze. I tried to run the chkdsk utility from the command line, as administrator, with the parameters /f and /r. Instead of the usual screen showing the progress of the disk check, I got a screen with the following error message: "Cannot open volume for direct access." Everything else seems to be working except system restore. I tried that twice, using two different restore points, and it failed each time due to an "unspecified" error. |
