Guest speedy_mike Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Since I installed the .NET programs (v1.1), my computer wants to dskchk an internal hard drive...not C:\ but another. How can I stop this from happening? I'm running XP Pro. Thank you for your help. Mike

Suggestions and Checkpoints: Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: fsutil dirty query c: (Modify the drive letter accordingly) If it comes back as dirty, it hasn't cleared.

Guest Dave Candi Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 RE: Computer wants to dskchk disk on boot Hi Mike I had the same problem with a western digital hard disk. Is that what your using? Eventually i bought a new hard disk £40 which solved the problem. I still havent tried to retrieve my data from the old hard drive. If its a western digital and you've heard a few clicking sounds basically its on its way out. Do a search on this newsgroup you should find several posts some by me on this matter. Bascially the hard disk probably has bad sectors if chkdsk freezes especially which is what i experienced. You can goto the command line by typing CMD in the run box and then to the suspect drive and the type chkdsk/f you might be better doing this through recovery console which can be accessed from your original windows cd in the same menu to install windows. good luck "speedy_mike" wrote: > Since I installed the .NET programs (v1.1), my computer wants to dskchk an > internal hard drive...not C:\ but another.
