CHKDSK Hangs - HELP

[Guest Bilbo]

XP SP2 wants to check C: (NTFS) for consistency;

 

When allowed, it passes file verification,

passes index checks

then starts recovering orphaned files.

lists:

 

_REGISTRY_USER_NTUSER_S-1-5-19 (40613) into directory file 40568

 

CHKDSK then hangs; disk i/o light is on pretty solid.

 

If file verification is denied, system appears to boot and run pretty

normally.

 

Is there a way to recover this?

 

Thx,

Run CHKDSK in XP Recovery Console:

Set pc BIOS to boot from CDROM. Place XP CD in drive. Reboot from the CD.

Select the first option R Repair/Recovery Console. Select your Windows

partition by number. Usually it is 1 . Login to XP with administrator

password. Then run CHKDSK /P from the command line.

 

Do keep in mind, if the registry hives are horked, then you have a whole different issue.

Thanks Maurice,

That seems to have gotten it back on track. There seem to be a few

application files that are hosed but they're recoverable. I'm

planning to run SFC as a hedge against Windows code corruption in the

file system.

Thanks again,

Bilbo
