Unable to Utilize CHKDSK

[Ken Burgess]

I recently upgraded to a new hard drive which was
installed under NTFS.

I find that I am now unable to utilize CHKDSK at system
startup to check the disk for errors. I found this
problem referenced in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article -
823439 dated August 2003, stating that MS was aware of the
issue. But there is no solution noted in any later
posting.

Has there been any resolution to this problem?

Do you have ZoneAlarm installed and did you recently upgrade it to
version 5.0? It has been reported that ZoneAlarm 5.0 may be the root cause
of your problem. Uninstalling ZoneAlarm Version 5.0 solves the issue.

chkntfs /x c: , and hit enter. Reboot your computer.

Installed Norton System Works 2004 and ran Disk Doctor check only on Drive
C - reported some problem in the Security Descriptors of the drive.

I had Zone Alarm 5 installed - uninstalled it.

Ran Disk Doctor check on drive C - strill reported problems

Ran CHKDSK at startup - still could access the drive

Cannot get inot Safe Mode - hangs at driver agp440.sys - I will try to
locate a driver update for this.

Any other suggestions?
