Solution: Error 993 Partition contains open files. Use the operating system check

utility.


To fix this error:

1. Disable any antivirus programs on your system.

2. For Windows 9x systems: Run ScanDisk.
For Windows 2000/XP systems: Run CHKDSK.



To run ScanDisk:

1. Boot the computer from a Windows Startup diskette.

2. At the A:\ prompt, type: SCANDISK

3. Once the basic scan is complete, choose to run the thorough scan as well.


To run CHKDSK:

1. Boot from your Windows 2000 or XP installation CD.

2. Select the Repair option.

3. Select the Recovery Console option.

4. If you have a Windows 2000 system, type the following at the command prompt:

CHKDSK /F
If you have a Windows XP system, type the following at the command prompt: CHKDSK /P

5. Once the disk check has completed, type the following at the command prompt:

CHKDSK /R

Answer 3

You kan always roll Windows XP to a previous date.

Seems to me a windows program may be changed and if thats what you typed from run it won't work if you have original rescue disc that came with your computer add the first one click start then go to run and type in sfc /scannow then push ok and it will check programs for you to see if any thing has changed. after typing sfc then hit space bar and continue typing in the rest.
Or you may wish to just try a simple systems restore first to see if that helps if not try my solution.
