Me too!!
So I wanted to run Check Disk, then run Defrag to keep my XP Pro
system running smooth. NOT! What a mistake. I went to tools,
selected "error-checking" over the C drive, which is one good running
partition, the only one on my hard drive. It tells me the check disk
is scheduled to run the next time I reboot. So I restart. It runs,
goest through all levels, I think 1 - 5 of checks, completes 100%, as
it appears supposed to, then a final auto resart again taking me back
into windows. Well the Windows XP Pro logo appears, then a message
saying;
checking file system on c:
the type of the file system is NTFS
The volume is clean
Windows has finished checking the disk
.............
The above is exactly how the message appears. Those wonderful dots
below, as if to place several more before booting into windows. But
it stops right there and hangs. Months ago I ran check disk on
another computer, with the exact same results. Some bug here? Anyone
know what's going on?
Tanx in advance,
