leedogg Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 There appears to be some sort of error with my security files but whenever chkdsk gets to that section of the hd it gives me a bluescreen with a message that xp has been stopped to prevent a fatal flaw. Does anybody know how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHawk Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I'm guessing that XP is stopping you from corrupting something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashiro Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Do you have a turtle beach sound card? There was a bug in most of their earlier drivers that caused chkdsk to bluescreen. It's apparently fixed in the latest release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedogg Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 no turtle beach sound card. Is there any other fix disk application out there for xp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brukro Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 Try Symantec's Disk Doctor. It comes with Norton System Works. I use it as much as I do Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike3169 Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 Ok are you running CHKDSK the correct way? First, Boot to the WinXP cdrom. From the install list select REPAIR. It should then ask which Disk you are troubleshooting, should be "1". Then it will ask for ADMINISTRATOR password, type it and hit enter or if you don't have a password, just hit enter. You should then be at a C:Windows prompt. Type "CHKDSK /R" without the quotes to run check disk with the repair switch. It should run, get to a certain percent and then may go back to a lower percent, that is normal if there are any File corruption or Allocation Table errors. If it errors out again with a STOP message then your Harddrive may have a Bad Block. Which may require replacing the drive. Unfortunately in the old days, Bad Blocks on Harddrives could be fixed with a low level format, but not on newer drives of today. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
