CHKDSK Warning

[Gramma]

SFC scannow does not work, so tried chkdsk in Safe Mode and got "Warning: F
parameter is not specified. Running chkdsk i read-only mode" and only runs
first 2 phases.

Would like to get either SFC scannow/r or CHKDSK /r to run but can't even
get Microsoft Updates to run.

Ok, so why do you need to run these utilities? Have you been hit by malware?
These things can be disabled by such events. In the event that this has
happened you can try using your drive in an external USB enclosure or as a
slave drive in another computer to run these Chkdsk /f on your drive.

Gramma, a review of all your recent threads & posts
(http://groups.google.com/groups/sea...WyTFJoHd8gt3Y-ZEGVftVMvL9po8ShwWRJA&scoring=d)
suggests that your computer's been infested with hijackware for several
months now.

Backup your personal data, then do a format & clean install of Windows.
Please note that another Repair Install will NEVER fix this!

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that
isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted:

you can run chkdsk
from the recovery
console.

simply boot up with
a windows setup cd,

select repair and log
in,

then at the disk prompt
run:

chkdsk /p

then "exit" and reboot
with out cd.

To put it simply, chkdsk.exe won't run WITH the /f (fix) option on the
system drive, because there are system files that are always being used by
the operating system so it cannot 'lock' onto the 'current' drive to have
exclusive use over it (which it needs to have to be able to both run AND fix
any errors).

Thus, if you try to run chkdsk /f on the system drive, it will tell you
that it cannot run and ask you if you want it to run AUTOMATICALLY on the
next boot. If you type "Y" (for yes) and [ENTER] then chkdsk with the /f
(fix) option WILL run before Windows loads on the next time you start your
PC.

This is exactly the same as typing chkdsk /p at the 'Recovery Console'
because they both invoke the Autochk.exe program which will only work in
what's called 'Win32 Native API' that is; before the Windows Operating
System 'full' has loaded.

So if you want to run chkdsk on the c: drive type chkdsk /f then
[ENTER] and then press "Y" and [ENTER] to allow chkdsk to run (and fix
errors) on reboot.

I do believe that I need a clean install but don't know how to format. Have
WIN XP Home Ed, SP2.
Let me explain that I since have tried to reinstall my HP Photosmart printer
with the same disk I have always used. Got msgsEvent Type: Error
Event Source: Application Error
Event Category: (100)
Event ID: 1005
Date: 5/28/2009
Time: 3:50:35 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MK
Description:
Windows cannot access the file D:\setup\HPZpsc01.exe for one of the
following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk
that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this
computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program HP Installer
Pre-Scrubber plug-in because of this error.

Program: HP Installer Pre-Scrubber plug-in
File: D:\setup\HPZpsc01.exe

The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that
corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that
there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify
that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click
Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type
CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the
disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or
computer hardware vendor for further assistance.
Additional Data
Error value: C000009C

Cannot remove HP printer in Add/Remove.

Can no longer use original WIN OS OEM disc, but have retail version. With
all above, feel need to clean install but please advise on formatting thank
you.

you cannot chkdsk a cd-rom

The error message is most likely caused by an old worn-out cd-rom
installation disk, unable to read correctly the area on the disk with the
file on it that it has problems with.
i.e
D:\setup\HPZpsc01.exe

Take your computer and all your installation disks to a local, reputable,
and independent (i.e., not BigBoxStore USA or Geek Squad) shop.
