Re: CHKDSK Warning

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Take your computer and all your installation disks to a local, reputable, and independent (i.e., not BigBoxStore USA or Geek Squad) shop.

WIN XP Home Ed, SP2.
Let me explain that I since have tried to reinstall my HP Photosmart printer
with the same disk I have always used. Got msgsEvent Type: Error
Event Source: Application Error
Event Category: (100)
Event ID: 1005
Date: 5/28/2009
Time: 3:50:35 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MK
Description:
Windows cannot access the file D:\setup\HPZpsc01.exe for one of the
following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk
that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this
computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program HP Installer
Pre-Scrubber plug-in because of this error.

Program: HP Installer Pre-Scrubber plug-in
File: D:\setup\HPZpsc01.exe

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that
corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that
there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be
contacted. - It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or
CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click
Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type
CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the
disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or
computer hardware vendor for further assistance.
Additional Data
Error value: C000009C

Gramma, a review of all your recent threads & posts

suggests that your computer's been infested with hijackware for several
months now.

Backup your personal data, then do a format & clean install of Windows.
Please note that another Repair Install will NEVER fix this!

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that
isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted:

SFC scannow does not work, so tried chkdsk in Safe Mode and got "Warning:

Would like to get either SFC scannow/r or CHKDSK /r to run but can't even
get Microsoft Updates to run.
