Re: Chkdsk Failing to Start

Thanks for the information. Another problem has now popped-up: Internet
Explorer History folder is apparently corrupt. At the current rate I may
need to reload XP and go through the "activation process" again. Any random
thoughts on the situation are appreciated.

Gerry,

It is a fairly long list. Are there any services that directly/indirectly
affect chkdsk startup and performance.

C:|$MFT is corrupt message, but I still can not run Chkdsk.

Thank you

Can you back up important data files? Research in Google suggests you

Having read several messages, no one appears to have my problem.
Today,
an
error message regarding C:|$MFT being corrupt popped-up and told me
to run
Chkdsk. I have not been able to get Chkdsk to run in either the cmd
prompt
or My Computer in either Normal Startup or Diagnostic Startup. Also,
I
ran
the Western Digital drive diagnostic and there was no errors. Any
assistance
is appreciated.

Sid
