Re: Checkdisk I tried Method 3, and that didn't work. I also tried chkdsk C: /f and chkntfs /c C: with no avail.
When I tried sfc /scannow, the scan began and got to the point: Verification 66% complete. Windows Resorces Protection could not perform the requested operation. I also tried chkdsk /i. The scan began the verification. During the verification 117,504 file records were processed, 6 segments were indicated to be corrupt. 93 large files were processed. It then stated: Errors found.
CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode. I have tried all of these methods, and none of them have worked. The one that I thought would be best was the last one, it found a lot of errors but then I couldn't use the program. I found however it I attempt to uninstall it the company offers me a trial 30 day activation key.
It might be nice to add that, however right now I still have not fixed my corrupt file which happens to be my C: Users / myname I have tried doing all methods, and when I tried to do it with my Vista DVD it gave me an error saying the files were unwritable or something and would not allow me to run the chkdsk. Any suggestions? EDIT: The final method actually worked thanks =). I would suggest adding how to get the activation code, because some of us are kinda stupid and don't notice the obvious.

The same story is about me. I can't run chkdsk anyway, and can't create backup because of that, and.
What did you tell about restore? I've done that (after Vista was crashed all my user folders, and then when it was almost killed my laptop by automated update), no result. What can i do? Sometimes vista says on startup, that one more folder is corrupt and unreadable, the only way to repair is to copy that folder from previously saved backup copy, but yesterday i've lost email database - with all passwords etc. How can i repair the disk? So far I have tried the registry entry change - no luck 2. I downloaded the file 6.0.6001.18000 and replaced Autochk.exe and tried to get chkdsk to run at startup - no luck ( the file on my computer was a originally a different size (627K and the date was 1/20/2008 as opposed to the file I downloaded 716K and 1/19/2008) 3.
I ran sfc /scannow and I got the message that Windows found a corrupt file (CBS.log) and repaired it. Then Chkdsk again and Jippie it WORKED!! Thanks for all your help Georgesvc.
