Need help with CHKDSK /F
Am using Win XP Pro SP2.

Have checked my 80 GB Sata HDD with Seagate SeaTools for DOS v1.08PH

as well with C: Properties ->Tools ->Error Checking ->Check Now for

option Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors and both have

reported no errors.

However when I choose option Automatically fix file system errors I

get message :
The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility

needs exclusive access for some files on disk. This can be accessed

only by restarting windows. Do you want to schedule the disk check for

error the nest time you restart the computer Yes/No.

When I choose Yes and restart Windows it tries to check but gives

message "An unspecified error occurred. Windows has finished checking

the disk" And thereafter windows loads up.

CHKDSK /F gives message "CHKDSK cannot be run because the volume is in

use by another process."

CHKDSK /V reads as under :
WARNING! F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.

Login as Administrator in Safe Mode and then schedule the disk with /f parameter to check on next boot. Then reboot the system and see. Else, use the Disk Defragmentor to check the file system.
