re: Question about 'Prevent file corruption problems' Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 10:13 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by hanspeter (1 messages posted) Having experiencing these problems myself, I found a MS URL admitting that you will get spuratic CHKDSK results: "If you run chkdsk without the /f command-line option on an active partition, it might report spurious errors because it cannot lock the drive." I also found MS recommending to only run CHKDSK from the Recovery Console for reliable and consistent results with XP. This seemed to work for me. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/chkdsk.mspx Written in response to: Question about 'Prevent file corruption problems' (Paul: Friday, October 4, 2002 at 10:02 pm) There are presently no replies to this message.
