whenever I'm running this command in my notebook(hp pavilion 4450 ) getting the problem

C:\>chkdsk /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by
process. Would you like to schedule this volume
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

I answer y even start manualy but no effect again tried to run it getting same problem

Is that you can not unmount the Boot Drive on any Windows Computer to run any repair utilities so you are stuck with the inability of performing the CHKDSK function.

You could try typing in CHKDSK C: from the CLI in XP and that will tell you that the process will run and check the drive in Read Only Form. if you type CHKDSK C: /F you should be prompted to run the CHKDSK utility on the next reboot. That should work with any XP install but you may need to use another HDD Testing utility if it doesn't or you are running W2K.
