Chkdsk Crash

[Guest DanoWeir@gmail.com]

I know this is a common problem, but I'm having trouble with the usual

solution, so I'm asking for help.

 

 

Like many people's comp's, when I boot up, Chkdsk automatically

engages to check my C: for 'inconsistencies', and then freezes in

'Stage 2 of 5' at 25%. Thus, the only way to get to windows is to

skip Chkdsk. I know from a previous comp however, that this is an

excellent way to completely corrupt your hard drive.

 

I've been cruising the message boards looking for a solution, and

everyone seems to suggest running Chkdsk from the cmd prompt in Safe

Mode. Unfortunately, I can't get to safe mode. I can get to the menu

during boot (by pressing F8) which allows me to select Safe Mode, but

upon selection, several command lines run and it eventually freezes on

a file labeled 'Mud.sys'. This is the case for all three options for

Safe Mode (Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, etc..)

 

I've also tried running disk defragger and Chkdsk from within Windows

itself, but I'm halted every time because the system is already

scheduled to run Chkdsk at the next boot.

 

I can't run Chkdsk, I can't get into Safe Mode. Any thoughts?

Re: Chkdsk Crash

 

boot up with any

windows cd and

go into the recovery

console.

 

once at the disk

prompt run:

 

chkdsk

fixboot

 

then type/enter:

 

exit

 

and reboot

without cd.

 

here is the link that

will help you with

the above.

 

go to the section

how to use recovery

console:

RE: Chkdsk Crash

 

chkdsk typed as such in recovery would get you zero results...Its either,

CHKDSK C: /R Or CHKDSK C: /p And yes /p is correct.Typing "enter" is also

a zero cmd.Read kb307654
