re: CHKDSK won't run to completion Sunday, July 27, 2008 at 6:14 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David Bookbinder (306 messages posted) Maybe I was unclear in my previous message. What I am doing is trying to get CHKDSK to run by starting it just as the link you provided describes. I then restart the computer, the CHKDSK program indicates that it needs to run, starts to run, and then cancels itself. What I am trying to find out is how to prevent it from canceling itself so that it actually does run to completion and fixes what appear to be numerous instances of file corruption on my friend's computer. He doesn't have a Windows startup disk, so I can't tell him to try that, and I'd prefer not to have to create one and mail it to him unless that is the last resort. Something in his setup is interrupting his computer's ability to have CHKDSK run to completion on reboot.
