| 800005 | 2009-08-10 09:14:00 | Hi All. Last week I asked the comp to do a checkdisc, it told me it would do it at the next bootup. At the start of a bootup, om a blue screen, I get this. Checking file system on C The type of file system is NTFS Cannot open volume for direct access Windows has finished checking the disc Yet nothing happens. After about a minute it goes awat & bootup resumes. How go I get rid of this message. Thanks. PJ |

| 800009 | 2009-08-10 09:48:00 | How about Spyware Doctor? I have run Spybot S7D since then, no problems. Do you suspect spyware?. I would have thought a failed checkdisc run. PJ |

| 800010 | 2009-08-10 09:53:00 | No, there is apparently a problem with Spyware doctor that can cause this.. If its not installed don't worry about it.. Do you have an XP disc? Boot from it and access the recovery console(press R at first screen) From there, do a chkdsk /P Blam |

| 800011 | 2009-08-10 09:59:00 | You could try chkdsk /x It forces the drive to dismount before it checks does a chkdsk /f | Phil B (648) | ||

There are only two: /P : Does an exhaustive check of the drive and corrects any errors. Does not check for bad sectors /R : Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. Better to do it this way than on reboot from within Windows. |
