C drive Error check doesnt work
« on: November 24, 2007, 09:50:46 PM »
I try to run the error check for C drive which requires computer restart. But somehow when I start my computer I get this message that

cannot access the volume for error check.

Since than everytime I start my computer, the computer attempts to to the disk check and gives me this message and than starts.

Is there any setting I messed up which needs to be fixed?

    Open the command prompt and type "chkdsk /f"

    You will get an message which states:

    Chldsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Select Y and restart your machine

      Do you have more than one drive?

      Find out who made that drive.
      Then travel to the manuf. site and DLoad the free diagnostics to create a bootable floppy/CD and run them...
      This will tell you if you can trust that drive with your data or not.
      The manuf. diagnostics are usually way more thorough than chkdsk.

      You should still do this...

      ammm,
      sorry I am not so good in this stuff.

      I right click on the C drive in my computer
      under hardware tab under device properties it says
      Manufacturer :(Standard disk drives)\

      Is that what I am suppose to look for???????
