I’m having the following problem: When I run chkdsk from a cmd prompt, it shows some index errors. Then before it finishes, it says it cannot continue in read only mode… No problem. I run it with /f and reboot. For some strange reason, when the system comes back up and (apparently) is running chkdsk, I have no video (could this be because I am running an SLI configuration? not the main issue)
I can tell theres hard drive activity and after several minutes of blank screen, the system reboots (as if chkdsk has completed). HOWEVER, when I run chkdsk again from the cmd prompt I get the same index errors as before.
I know that chkdsk creates a log but Where is it?
I tried running chkdsk from the system recovery console with the /p option. M$ states two different things about this…
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058
that it fixes problems, and
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_chkdsk.mspx?mfr=true
that it doesn’t.
Where is the log for chkdsk? Why would chkdsk not fix problems if it finds no bad sectors?
