1. click on your start menu and open the run dialog.

4. If the return message indicates that the volume is dirty go to step 5
5. Next type "chkdsk e: /f /x"
6. After that finshes repeat step 3.
7. If it is no longer dirty then reboot and you should notice no more
ckdisk.

If this process doesn't work check out Kelly's site, listed by a
previous response earlier today.

Smile My sticky dirty Chkdsk at boot
THU 12-Mar-2009



To The “PcReview” Team



Hi Everybody,



I thank you one and all, individually, for your contribution to resolving my “sticky chkdsk at boot” problem. I have an 80 GB HDD with partitions C: D: and E: Also I use a USB 8 GB Pen drive. My OS is Windows XP SP2. “fsutil query drv:” on all local drives, returned NOT DIRTY. Chkdsk /f /x deferred to boot time, always resulted in a hang up with 0% completed.



Unfortunately, I did not have the RC option in my install CD; Only Upgrade or New Installation. I, therefore, could not use “chkdsk /p /r”.



Although I worked with all your suggestions, what finally worked for me was simple “chkdsk /r” using normal command mode. Deferred to boot time it ran up to 100% completion plus a free space scan and wiped out my sticky dirty problem!!



I follow the policy:

· Getting into a muddle is the first step towards knowledge.

· The desire to dig deep and getting more confused is an asset for a computer professional.

· He cannot talk to the computer; so forums are the best for interactions.

· Getting the result is more important than the means understood and adopted.

· Spreading the message is also very good. Someone may be benefited some day.



I am a techie, only to the extent of understanding what you all had suggested, but I cannot explain why and how my problem got resolved. So I had to thank all of you and tell you what I did.

Smile chkdsk problem
Thnx; I did what was suggested above by Q46ward with fsutil except I run it with XP live thus avoided the 'this disk is in use' problem. In the short time I have had XP Live I have come to love it. I repair pcs on a regular basis as a hobby and to help friends, and XP Live has been a God send. Try it you'll like it.

thnx again

Default CHKDSK & XP Live
Hi dougskreation,
I have noted XP Live is very
useful. I don't know anything
about XP Live. But I am glad
to know you have been
successful.
Thanks
