So recently I'm beginning to get notifications that there are corrupt files on my computer and that I need to run Check Disk. I did it tonight, after being told that AbiWord couldn't open my document because it was corrupt and unreadable. So I go into check disk, I get through the first stage and there comes an error and it shuts down. I typed in the /f after it in run and it said it couldn't run the check because it was in operation in another program and asked me if I wanted to perform it when the system retstarts so I said yes. So I restarted my computer and nothing happened. What the hell is going on and can any tell me how to fix it?
Do you have a windows CD handy. You can boot from it, enter the recovery console, and do the scan from there, otherwise a chkdsk isn't too handy. Also if you have a floppy drive you can make a boot disc or if you can boot from a USB drive make a bootable usb from here. Maybe someone can elaborate on this, I'm in a hurry ATM http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm
