I posted this on the Vista site accidently, so here we go on the XP site.
I recently started up my computer, and noticed that a bunch of files are now
corrupt, and most of my shortcuts are gone. I went into Program Files and
discovered the whole folder completely empty. The computer is saying to run
chkdsk b/c the Program Files are corrupt. When I run chkdsk /r it says that
the NTSF is locked and I have to reboot to run chkdsk. When I reboot, the
chkdsk never runs.
My wife has all her graduate work on the computer, which I have since backed
up, but I"m trying to avoid doing a complete system restore. Can you help?
