Hi I'm trying to run my chkdsk program but was not successful. I ran it as administrator and got the following in the command prompt.
"The type of the file system is NTFS. Volume label is SQ004328V04
WARNING! F parameter not specified Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... Attribute record (128, "") from file record segment 28ed) is corrupt 185792 file records processed. File verification completed. 820 large file records processed.
Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode."
I've done some research trying to find a solution but no such luck. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
okay I typed in "chkdsk /F /X :c" and it did the same thing as when I click on the icon. The command prompt screen flashes for an instant and then vanishes

another update, I managed to pull off a quick print screen when the command prompt flashed and it says my access is denied and I need to "invoke this utility in an elevated mode." Is there a way to enter the run command and simultaneously invoke it as administrator?

This is a regular problem on Win XP computers. They are old so the hard drive is also old. You may need to do a reinstall of your operating system. But you could try running RKill first it is a rootkit killer. This may find the problem in your software, but don't hold your breath, With chkdsk failing it is a reliable indicator of a physical failure on the hard disk. You need to consider that a hard disk is metal plates spinning very fast and while they are designed to take some knocks, over time a laptop takes more knocks than you would expect. The plain truth is, stuff breaks and need s replacing.
I have run chkdsk /f (which is check disk fix) and I have run chkdsk /r (check disk repair) but I have never heard of trying both switches at the same time. I suggest powering off the machine (hold down power button) than restarting and running chkdsk /f first and if you still have issues run chkdsk /r which is a more in depth scan which can take a couple of hours depending on the size of the drive but never 15 hours in my experience.
As an administrator, bring up the command prompt window (click the Windows menu, select "All Programs" then "Accessories", right-click "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator). Into this window type "chkdsk/f" and press ENTER.
To run Disk Check facility, you must run elevated command prompt and type 'chkdsk' and press enter. Now windows itself will try to figure out any problems related to your hard disk.
Note: To run elevated command prompt, go to "cmd" or "Command Prompt". Right click over it and select "Run as administrator". Now the window of command prompt in administrator mode will open.
above statements are right you may also run disc defrag to your system click start/controlpanel/Administrative Tools/computer management/storage/disk defragmenter then select or highlight the drive where your operating system is installed click defragment
You may run or perform Disk Error Checking(This is for Windows XP SP3):
* Chkdsk (Chkdsk.exe) is a command-line tool that checks volumes for problems. The tool then tries to repair any that it finds. For example, Chkdsk can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors.
** How to run CHKDSK at the command prompt:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In Open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
Use one of the following procedures:
To run Chkdsk in read-only mode, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.
To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/f, and then press ENTER.
Note If one or more of the files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message:
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.
To repair errors, locate bad sectors, and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/r, and then press ENTER.
Once done with chkdsk r, run FIXBOOT and press ENTER.
Note If one or more of the files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message:
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.
