Jfirst :
Thanks for hte info.From cmd prompt it runs for a short time and shows an error found and than says it is unable to run in read only.If I go With chkdsk.exe it runs thru the 1st part starts to run 2nd part and then just stops.I've tyed chkdsk /f and chkdsk /r and it wants to run on next boot up.Have run Dell pc chek and ran the test from there and all pass.Computer still boots up sfter cancelling chkdsk do I need to worry the chkdsk comes up everytime I boot up
Chkdsk at boot is there for one of several reasons:
System found some type of HD error and scheduled it at next boot.
User scheduled it at next boot.
It is in scheduled tasks to run.
For some reason (??) the dirty bit for the HD is being set, forcing it to run.
If it is in scheduled tasks and you want to remove it, go to
Start > all programs > accessories > system tools > Scheduled tasks
and delete chkdsk entry.
To run it from Command prompt while windows is running, first:
chkdsk /x (Forces volume dismount and implies /f)
(does not schedule it at next boot)
