i hhave run chkdsk/f and is doing nothing can anyone help also can i do chkdsk/c?

Answer 1

Here is the HELP. But I think that your problem is that you MUST answer with YES, then restart your computer, so that it can run the full test before the computer reboots.

- - -
Checks a disk and displays a status report.

CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]]

volume - Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.

filename

FAT only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
/F Fixes errors on the disk.
/V On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of every file on the disk.

On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /F).
/L:size NTFS only: Changes the log file size to the specified number of kilobytes. If size is not specified, displays current size.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.

All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid (implies /F).

/I NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.

/C NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.

The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by skipping certain checks of the volume.


Good luck

Proceeding Without START-UP
Step 3 directs you to insert the START-UP disk, which contains CHKDSK.COM. This disk was created when you installed OS/2. If you can't find it, there are two ways to get around the problem:

• At step 3 insert the MICROSOFT OS/2 DISK 1 and proceed. - or -


• Copy CHKDSK.COM and UHPFS.DLL from the C:\OS2 directory to a floppy disk and insert it at step 3.

Errors Caused by Absence of UHPFS.DLL
If the disk used in Step 3 does not contain CHKDSK.COM and UHPFS.DLL, you can receive numerous errors. If it has only CHKDSK.COM, you receive:

Answer 3

Be sure to put a space between chkdsk and /f. From your question, it looks like you left the space out.
