running CHKDSK /F

[Guest]

Hello: My WinXP Pro SP2 systems has reported file problems after the install
of IE7. Prior to uninstalling IE7, XP auto-ran CHKDSK at every boot, and
then reported when Windows started: "...Virtual paging is too small or set
to 0", and also reported that: "File $MFT is corrupted and unreadable, please
run CHKDSK..." These problem reports continued until uninstall of IE7. My
question: When I run chkdsk now (from CMD in Windows), CHKDSK reports
problems and says to run CHKDSK with the /F switch. Fine -- this of course
won't run when Windows has started because of locking issues... I have tried
answering "YES" to CHKDSK's request that it run on the next boot, but
subsequent running of CHKDSK from Windows still reports problems. Is there a
sure fire way I can run CHKDSK /F so that I know the problems will be fixed
-- from a maintenance or other mode?
Thanks.

there are a couple of things
that can be done to help.;

but the easiest and simplest is
to simply do a windows repair installation
with your windows cd.

boot with it, select new install, then select
repair for repairing the o.s. it finds on the hd.

it this is not accomadating then there are other steps..

but the above would be a helpful start.
