Problem with Check Disk

[Anirban]

Hi

Iam using Windows XP operating system. The operating
System is updated with windows XP service pack (Feb 2004).



The problem Iam having is when I give my drive C: for
a "Check Disk operation" (ie the disk consistency
check).It starts "verifying files and folders" operation.
But when it comes at 69% of completion it shows following
error message

"Error in reading folder (null) "

and abruptly terminates the operation,continues with
starting up Windows.

Iam only using the tools that comes with the operating
system itself . My Os is loaded in Drive C.

I have also run the scandisk.exe from a Windows 98
bootable CD.Although it has found one error and fixed it
but still it doesnt practically make any difference.

Because of this persistance problem the check disk utility
get activated everytime when I start up windows.



It will be nice if someone can tell me the possible
solution.





Thanking You

Try running your disk cleanup tool first to get rid of

the temp files and so on. Then check the system files by
running the system file checker tool, which you do by
typing in this; sfc /scannow with that space after sfc,
in the start/ run box. Then right click your main drive
and select properties, tools tab, and error checking, and
only select that first option to auto-fix errors, but not
the second option which takes too long to scan hard drive.

Hi
I tried the way that you mentioned below but the problem
still persist. At 68% it said the same error and
terminated the process.

I just want to let you know that when I was running
sfc /scannow it started to copy the original .dll files in
the dll cache.
