When running CHKDSK, verifying files and folders, I get
an error message:
Windows founds errors on the disk, but will not fix them
because disk checking was run without the /F (fix)
parameter. \WINDOWS\Prefetch\CHKDSK.EXE-2CC4C59D.pf first
allocation unit is not valid. The entry will be
truncated.
When I run CHKDSK with the /F parameter, I get the
message:
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
I answer "Y" and restart but no error message or fix is
indicated. How do I correct this error?

Sometimes you have no other choice, disk or file system corruption may be present and you will have to run chkdsk, and in many cases, or most cases, it fixes file system or disk problems without a hitch, at other times it completely destroys the data on the disk and makes any data recovery effort next to impossible. ...
