chkdsk /f

[Jason Frost]

Norton Utilities identified a problem with indexes on my disk - however it
was not able to gain exclusiive acces and could not run (even after a
reboot)

I though I would try chkdsk /f. This told me that it would need to do this
after a reboot - I selected the option and rebooted my machine. However
chkdsk did not run. I tested it on another machine and it ran perfectly. Any
ideas on how I could fix my drive?

Thanks.

I have this and can't use chkdsk after a reboot. The only way I do it is to
boot from the XP CD and use the repair console which gives you a command
prompt looking screen. After you have logged into the current windows
installation type chkdsk /? to get the switch to repair the drive (can't
remember what it is but it's different to the one from within windows)
That should do it.
