I AM USING BOTH 98/XP ON THE SAME PC.THERE ARE ERRORS ON THE DRIVE THAT XP IS
ON AND WHEN I USE CHKDSK /F NOTHING HAPPENS.I HAVE TRIED THE RECOVERY
CONSOLE,BUT TO NO AVAIL.THE FILE AUTOCHK IS ON THE XP DRIVE AND ALSO ON THE
XP DISC BUT I CAN NOT OPEN IT.THE ERROR SAYS THE F:\I386\AUTOCHK.EXE
APPLICATION CANNOT BE RUN IN WIN 32 MODE.

You boot to xp cd,recovery,but its not available ???? What happens when you
click on R for recovery ? Press enter key for the password.
Then you say youre in cmd,you type:CHKDSK C: /F And nothing happens ???
Try CHKDSK This is read only but it processes on desktop,try CHKDSK C:
/REVERT
This reconfigures to default.

What errors are you getting? Chkdsk almost always reports minor errors. In
Windows XP chkdsk /F will only run at boot up time. To see what errors it
found, click on Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Event Viewer |
Application and then double click on Winlogon.

I USE A PROGRAMME CALLED FIX IT UTILITIES IT TELLS ME THAT THE DRIVE WITH XP
ON HAS GOT CRITICAL ERRORS AND TO RUN CHKDSK/F. I TRY TO DO THIS AND THE PC
BOOTS UP FINE BUT TELLS ME THERE ARE NO ERRORS. WHEN I USE THE RECOVERY
CONSOLE I GET AS FAR AS THE CMD TYPE IN CHKDSK/F BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO
START.

It seems to have caused your "Caps Lock" key to be stuck on.

REGARDING MY EARLIER MESSAGE JUST RAN THE FIX IT PROGRAMME AND THIS IS WHAT
IT SAID.IT RECOVERED TWO ORPHANED FILES,AND IT WAS CORRECTING ERRORS IN THE
(MFT) BITMAP ATTRIBUTE.WINDOWS FOUND PROBLEMS WITH THE FILE SYSTEM.RUN CHKDSK
WITH THE /FOPTION
