I am a novice user.
When i type chkdsk /r i am prompted to "type the full path including drive
letter for location of Autochk.exe"
Problem: I have no idea what the path is or how to tell where it is. I
would assume it is on one of the 6 floppy setup disks I just used or on
drive C somewhere, but I do not have access to windows to search for it.
Background Summary:
Had power outage. Blue Screened.
unmountable_boot_volume
stop: 0x000000ED (0x81BD6E30, 0xc0000032, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
Had no access to safemode, a setup CD, or recovery console.
Using HP Pavilion OEM version of XP.
Downloaded the XP setup boot to 6 floppy disks per
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308402/EN-US#kb1 in order to access Recovery
Console and be able to use chkdsk command per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q297185.
I inserted all 6 floppy disks then selected 'r' for repair.
at the prompt i typed "chkdsk /r".
the prompt is from drive C
do i need to switch to drive a or would that only perform the repair on
drive a?
thanks for reading
