CHKDSK over and over

[CyCo]

hey ..

what is happenin is that every time is restart it asks to run shkdsk and while checkin indexes it says an unspecified error occured ...

then when my windows passw thing comes (XP w/o welcome screen)it says :
"The file or directory C:\WINDOWS\CSC\d8 is corrupt and unreadable . Please run the ChkDsk utility"

then when i come to windows generally my show desktop button is corrupt and it also corrupts my "my pictures" folder some times ...
it also durin windows keeps givin errors askin me to run chkdsk ....

Run through scandisk from windows it will solve your problem.

ok do this

Start->Run

type command and press enter

in the dos window navigate to C:\

type this

C:\fsutil dirty query C:
ull get two results

Drive C: is Dirty
Drive C: is not Dirty

similarly do for all the partitions i.e

C:\fsutil dirty query D: or E: so on

if it says Drive is dirty type this command

C:\chkntfs /D (note there is a space between chkntfs and /D)

then exit and restart this time let the chkdsk run after this it wont keep running again

P.S dont worry even if u have FAT32 jus type that chkntfs /D


the reason could be improper shutdown of the computer.

have tried ur method bharathbala2003

for c it said dirty
for d it said not
for e which is a seperate hdsk it didnt say nethin ...
just gave a blank response

after i did chkntfs /d it just gave the blank thing again ...

Go to Command Prompt and type chkntfs c: /x and press ENTER. Then restart. Does the Chkdisk runs again?

i did a scandisk and it took reall really long like 3hrs ..(it scanned on restart)(i have a 40+120 GB hdsk) ..

i also did the whole thing bharathbala2003 said and it still didnt work ...

this time when i started .. it gave me the same /csc/d* error as well as an error in show desktop.scf and desktop.ini

ill try swatkats method and get back ...

 

[CyCo]

when i typed chkntfs c: /x

it just said "the type of the file system is NTFS"
so it shdnt make a diff in restart coz it just gave that o/p right ?

 

[CyCo]

pls help some as this is really buggin ..

some times all the errors come and sometimes none at all ...

 

[bharathbala2003]

well if it comes again and again it cld be a problem with a bad sector.. do this.. disconnect one HDD and connect only one.. then run those commands and restart.. incase chkdsk runs let it.. then restart again if it again runs.. that drive could have the bad sectors.. if not connect both and try and check... make sure the HDD with the OS is connected..

Try chkdsk /f c:

I think that should fix it.
