Re: XP doesnt starts normally after CHKDSK /f

Select Start, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management. What is in the Status Column for Volume C?

Another suggestion.You might do well to download and install Everest Home Edition. This
freeware programme is excellent for getting information about your computer:
http://www.lavalys.hu/index.php

In Everest select Storage, Windows Storage and you will see details of
drives. Place the cursor on your hard drive and post the Device
Description for your Hard Drive.

There could also be Error Reports in Event Viewer (System tab ). Please
post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Hi all,

I posted this request 5 days back; it seems no one in the world has a
solution to this problem. Anyone there who could please help me with this?

"I am using XP home (SP-2), kaspersky (antivirus) and MS Antispyware. HP
nx5000, 30GB, (2 partitions, both NTFS). When I run CHKDSK /f on drive 'C'
the chkdsk runs ok and reports no problems; but when it reboots (a page is
displayed with some text, which stays for fraction of a second) it goes to
the options page "Safe Mode, last good known......". If I select "Start
Windows Normally" it starts CHKDSK again and comes back on this page, if I
select "last good config..... " it boots ok.

XP starts normally if I dont run CHKDSK /f. I have disabled both the
softwares
and tried again but result is same. I even tried selective startup,
disabling all starting programs from "msconfig". The disk is checked and
reports no errors from 'tools', 'scan for and attempt recovery of bad
sectors'. SFC /scannow reports no errors either.

When I used WIN XP-e cd to boot and then ran CHKDSK /f, the drive is checked
and system boots normally.

Thanking in anticipation"
