Guest ewibarby Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 First, I am using Windows XP Pro. I have got errors in my computer and I want to scan it using DOS. I have used "chkdsk.exe" and it checks it only in read-only mode. I want to fix those errors but it cannot continue any further in read-only mode. What command do I need to use in DOS to fix the errors? -- http://cozyhomejewelrystore.com

You most probably have an NTFS partition, which is inaccessible to DOS. Perhaps you mean the Command Prompt? If so then this command will do it: chkdsk c: /r You will be required to reboot the machine.
Guest ewibarby Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Re: DOS Thank you. I will try that. The other way didn't work because I do have an NTSF partition. DOS didn't recognize it. I will get back to you. -- http://cozyhomejewelrystore.com "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote: > > "ewibarby" <ewibarby@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:6ED1C092-7C73-478E-BE43-A551BE538AFC@microsoft.com... > > First, I am using Windows XP Pro.

Guest ewibarby Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Re: DOS I successfully ran chkdsk according to what you told me to do. I only had one instant. It did not give me a report. Everything looks fine but now I need to know how to retrieve the report so I can see what chkdsk did. How do I get it? Thank you in advance. -- http://cozyhomejewelrystore.com "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote: > > "ewibarby" <ewibarby@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:6ED1C092-7C73-478E-BE43-A551BE538AFC@microsoft.com... > > First, I am using Windows XP Pro.

I believe that it's too late. There is a command- line switch to save the report, and I'm certain you didn't use it.

Any chkdsk done via autocheck will write the report to the application event log, but then I am certain you knew that, didn't you... John
Guest John John (MVP) Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Re: DOS Look for Event 1001 from Winlogon source in the Application event log. To open the Event Viewer enter eventvwr in the Start Menu Run box. John ewibarby wrote: > I successfully ran chkdsk according to what you told me to do. I only had > one instant.

Have never manually run it, and have never been interested in looking back to see what it did. I was thinking about the old DOS days.
Guest ewibarby Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Re: DOS Thank you so much. I retrieved the files just as you said and saw what I wanted to see. You can tell Old Duke that I came from the old days too but DOS is still around. -- http://cozyhomejewelrystore.com "John John (MVP)" wrote: > Look for Event 1001 from Winlogon source in the Application event log. > To open the Event Viewer enter eventvwr in the Start Menu Run box. > > John > > ewibarby wrote: > > > I successfully ran chkdsk according to what you told me to do.
