endless cycle running chkdsk on bootup, how do I stop it?

[Guest Niteowl]

hi,

 

I discovered some issues with a few files on a secondary hard drive on my

system, so decided to do a chkdsk, went into Administrative tools/disk

management, and right clicked on the drives, (D: and F:) and chose to run

chkdsk, it said it had to reboot and run on bootup, I said ok... now it is

in an endless cycle of running on bootup...

 

I've tried booting up to safe mode, and bootup normally, neither work.. the

one for safe mode just stops after showing a bunch of stuff it is supposedly

installing, and does nothing... booting up normally just continues the

cycle.

 

How do I stop it and get it to finish booting into windows?

 

thanks,

niteowl

Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software

respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or

not..

the chkdsk is not finding any errors.. it just keep cycling..

 

isn't there a way to force a bootup?? C: drive was not checked, these are

just data partitions.. shouldn't have anything to do with bootup.

CHKDSK can still cycle if it finds nothing.

I still suggest running a manufacturer's diagnostic.

Read the screen when it boots and do what is say to cancel the chkdsk.

"Press any key to cancel within 6,5,4,3,2,1.... seconds"

Re: endless cycle running chkdsk on bootup, how do I stop it?

 

yep, did that, it just kept recycling...

 

I finally got it to boot to safe mode command line and manually ran chkdsk

/r on the two partitions, and then just for yucks ran it on the c: drive,

and it found and fixed some errors on there also...

 

after doing that and running chkdsk 3 times on each partition (just to be

sure it found no new errors), I was able to get it to boot to windows, I

then manually modified the registry and it appears to be working...

 

one thing I discovered is when trying to run the "chkntfs /x" command, it

said it was an invalid command.. ? so I checked it on another XP machine I

have, and it worked on that one.. so not sure why that command isn't

available as both machines are XP Pro SP2.

 

at any rate, I appreciate the responses, Thanks to all.
