A program called Hitman Pro can cause the problem.
A really old version of ZoneAlarm (a version from 2004) can cause the
problem.
Spyware Doctor can also cause the problem.
The /x switch doesn't work if Spyware Doctor is installed. Spyware Doctor
needs to be uninstalled or you can do this...
Quoted from *PCTools*, *Spyware* *Doctor*...
1. Exit from Spyware Doctor (to exit from Spyware
Doctor please right click on the Spyware Doctor icon in
the notification area (next to the clock on the Windows
taskbar) and select Exit from the menu that appears)
2. Delete the file
ikhlayer.sys from %windir%\system32\drivers\
or
from c:\windows\system32\drivers\
3. Restart Spyware Doctor
Chkdsk, defrag and error-checking should now work.

JSI Tip 7079. You receive 'Cannot open volume for direct access' when Chkdsk
runs during Windows XP startup
http://www.jsifaq.com/subO/tip7000/rh7079.htm
To run chkdsk from a command prompt.
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
In the command prompt, type:
chkdsk C: /x
Hit your Enter key.
The following error message appears:
Chkdsk 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)
Type Y, hit Enter and close the command prompt.
Reboot.
The /x switch: Use with NTFS only. Forces the volume to dismount first, if
necessary. All open handles to the drive are invalidated. /x also includes
the functionality of /f. The /F switch fixes errors on the disk.
Unable to run CHKDSK

Thx for a long and detailed help, but CHKDSK still doesn't work on my "C"
hard disk drive.
I don't use any of these programs you suspected (neither Hitman Pro, nor
Zone Alarm, nor Spyware Doctor), so I have no software to uninstall.
Using "chkdsk C: /x" command also has no result, although I state "Y" answer
on that question ("Chkdsk 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) ").
What should I do? CHKDSK doesn't want to scan my system drive C, on startup
and on normal Win use.
For your information, I use Windows XP Home Edition with SP2, and all
further updates taken from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
Regards,
