O.K. It`s called chkdsk & it does not from startup.It
does not run from my computer.It does not run from
command prompt.chkntfs indicates "c" is dirty.I have
followed microsoft`s advice i.e. run chkdsk using the /r
& f/ command line option.Is formatting in my
future? Richard
 
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.

Are you now *finally* erudite in the ways "CHKDSK" works (though you never
admitted that it is also used on non-system partitions)?

All of this is normal. You should be seeing a message similar to the
"volume is locked" and asked if you want chkdsk to run at the next startup.
Answer yes. Restart the computer and it will run before Windows fully loads
and before the welcome screen appears.
