I run Windows XP Home SP 3. I have two internal hard disks: The first has two partitions - a software partition and a data partition. The second disc also has two partitions - a backup partition (where I store backups) and an empty, formatted partition. (BTW: I also store backups offline.)
When I run CHKDSK on the backup partition, it needs exclusive access and schedules the disk check for the next restart. Fine with me...but I don't understand why this should be. The backup partition contains backup files -- data. No OS, no software, nothing that would prevent CHKDSK from locking the partition (or so it seems to me.)
So why does CHKDSK have to schedule its work for the next restart? I just want to understand, is all. Thanks for your help.
