Trying to run chkdsk , will not run at boot , due to unknown
sata xp problems

but using, run , dos cmd , , chkdsk c: /r will run , but asks
to 'dismount C drive'

Q what happens if I select -ok- ?

The operating system is on C .. what happens if its dismounted ..
will chkdsk -re-mount- after its run .. or is this a one way
trip ?

tnx - G

It will run the next time you boot the computer, just before Windows is
loaded.

? John,,, I have some problem with running chkdsk at
boot ,chkdsk runs . says cannot access the volume and then
windows boots ... I had to edit the registery to remove the key
to stop it trying to run at every boot
Im seeing blue- driver-irq-not-less-equ , with isator.sys in the
info box .. so would like to run chkdsk .. but it will -not- run
at boot ... so

I can run via chckdsk , via the command prompt ..... what is
the implication of dismounting drive C ??

tnx - G.

Instead of manually editing the registry use the CHKNTFS command to
cancel all scheduled chkdsk and return the machine to default behaviour,
at the command prompt enter the following:

chkntfs /d

You should run the command, this will ensure that the registry value is
correct.

I think that you mean: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in iastor.sys...

Go in the BIOS and make sure that the disk controller is not set up as
RAID enabled.

Chkdsk cannot dismount the Windows drive, answer Yes and you will get a
second message telling you that much and you will then be asked if you
want to schedule a boot time disk check.

tnx on the info .. still not running - cannot find
volume ..etc

Checked bios

ICH SATA = AHCI
SATA/IDE = AHCI

Still looks like no way to run chkdsk , as the run on boot fails ,
also cannot boot into safe mode .. loads to the point of
loading hd drivers / sys then stalls

something is wrong with the sata drivers as it seems , cannot
access the volume until 'all' win-xp has loaded ..
assume what ever is missing is not loaded 'before' chkdsk

can run the on-line defrag part of windows tune up .. but thats the
only disk utility that runs .. assume that's because the system
is 'running' at this point

Make and model number of the computer?

Place the SATA/IDE in IDE (Legacy) mode.

What brand of computer? I had the same exact problem. Ran Dell Diagnostics
and came up with a toilet-load of errors on the HDD. Dell gave no
resistance and sent me another. Also, that particular laptop was loaded
with malware and other nasties. You may want to run malwarebytes for the
hell of it.

Ok Michel

No pc is home made started life as a P1 -75 meg , well the case
did

Its a gigabyte ex58-ud4p , intel P4 quad core , 4 gig ram , 1 x 650
gb and 1 x 500 gb WD sata 2 hard drive's
running xp-pro ,fully update .

ran trend-house call - malware bytes - spybot s and d - avast free
installed
all show ok

since i 'loaded' or so i thought the sata drivers .. i have not
been able to run safe mode or the disk tools
