My system says I have hard drive errors. I try to run chkdsk but it won't run, even after re-boot or shutdown. Can't run it from a DOS box and use any of the switches. This is a known XP problem (knowledge base #823439) But Microsoft shows no solution. Is there a workaround or another disk utility program I can use to fix the hard disk errors

Go to the hard drive manufacturer's web site and download their
diagnostic utility.

Usually the download creates a bootable diskette with which you boot
the computer and the diagonostic software opens automatically.

It could be a hardware fault with the hard drive that is the
underlying cause of your problem.

Good luck
