OblivionSHO Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Here is a weird issue I am having with Windows XP Home and CHKDSK on bootup. Very often Diskeeper reports to me that my drive has some inconsistancies and that I need to run CHKDSK /F to fix them. Whenever I try to run this from either Windows, or from a command prompt in windows, it will say there are errors with the volume bitmap and that I will need to run CHKDSK on bootup to fix them (because it doesn't have complete access to the drive.) So I have it schedule the CHKDSK, and on bootup it does it, fixes the errors, reboots itself, and then it locks up on a blank screen right after the Windows XP logo goes off of the screen. My monitor light stays green, however, my screen is completely blank. So what I have to do is reboot, select "Last good known configuration." At this point it seems to load up okay. Has anybody else had this issue or one similar to it? Any ideas on what I can try to fix it? Here is my system specs: Athlon XP 1900+ (1.6) ASUS KT266-E SB Audigy Platinum 2 IDE 60 GB IBM HDD's in a RAID 0 array (one LARGE NTFS partition.) 3Com 3CR990-TX-97 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/15043-weird-issue-with-chkdsk-on-bootup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 try doing chkdsk /v /f /r it will show more detailed error msgs and will also do more detailed scan. also it's not really good to have diskeeper defrag every time on reboot. i have similar problem with my hd. very often when i run chkdsk it says i have some "minor" inconsistancies. after /f everything is fine, but then even 10min later i get those errors again..same thing happened when i ran Win2k..really annoying:dead: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/15043-weird-issue-with-chkdsk-on-bootup/#findComment-122458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xahid Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I think, you got virus !!! Scan ur system from viruses, Not from Antivirus which are already installed, download virus removal tools(symentac.com) then scan by them.

OblivionSHO Posted February 19, 2002 Author Share Posted February 19, 2002 MxxCon, thank you for the advice. I will be sure and try it. Xahid, I am running Norton AntiVirus 2002 with all of the current updates. However, we all know that may not mean anything as I could have a new virus. :disappoin Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/15043-weird-issue-with-chkdsk-on-bootup/#findComment-122533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
