            It is possible to access a graphical version of the Windows XP chkdsk.

            To do this:

            Step One: Open "My Computer", RIGHT click on the C drive icon, choose "Properties".

            Step Two: When that loads, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on the "Check Now" button in the "Error Checking" section.

            Step Three: When that little window loads, place a CHECK in BOTH boxes, then click on "Start Now".

            Step Four: A message will pop up saying that Error Checking will run after you restart the computer, so......Restart the computer. Error Checking will run automatically after the restart and it locks you out from doing anything until it's finished. It takes a little time to perform the task but after it's finished, it will restart into Windows automatically.

              i guess i should have said this before, but i have a problem where windows wont load, and will just keep restarting. Ive already made a thread which can be found here. http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,81717.msg540709.html#msg540709

              so i have to run chkdsk some other way.

                    chkdsk isn't a part of UBCD...

                    It's a part of windows, and they  didn't include it on the UBCD because they didn't want to get in trouble with Microsoft...

                    I'll post instructions on what IS on the cd, as soon as I find them...

                    UPDATE: Wait... are you using UBCD, or ubcd4win?
                    Don't forget to give thanks if I was able to help ya! Please?

                        Google "chkdsk freeware programs" and you'll find a number of chkdsk utilities.
