and /f doesn't seem to fix the problem, is there a report that can be generated somewhere? cos its the OS partition and i need to do a chkdsk on restart and once its done, the screen flashes and i can't see if the problem is fixed. i am having alot of

This is not a valid Win32 application

Run chkdsk from a bartpe or Windows PE cd, then you can see all the messages.

CHKDSK at boot time stores logs messages to C:\bootex.log

After logon, it's moved to the Application Event Log. To view the log:

• Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Application Log

• In the log look for Autochk in the Source column.

• Double click on the appropriate line and you’ll view the last chkdsk results.

low level format worked actually, i still get "This is not a valid Win32 app" so i am trying that, but how do i use it?

i do "Create" log file

Select Drive

Select "Intel"

analyze right???

but i think i get to search for lost partitions which i am not needing...

i don't have a "Autochk in the Source column."

but i'll try chkdsk in BartPE, for now i get:

but is this a Hardware prob (HDD spoilt)? cos i still has warranty from HP, its a new comp. but if its caused but my own prob/i can fix it myself, then i rather do it myself

warranty need to take some days ...

ok... ran chkdsk in BartPE until no errors, but when i go in Windows and chkdsk, errors appeared again, and in BartPE also, then fix > no probs (in BartPE) then in Windows again! its a loop!

by the way, i also tried fixmbr & fixboot (in Windows Recovery Console) didn't fix anything also but fixmbr seems to always report a "non-standard MBR" even after a fixmbr

Thanks

[iceangel89]

anyone???

[iceangel89]

now when i do a chkdsk n BartPE, no errors but in XP there is... i dunno if i restart and do 1 in Bart will 1 appear but... is it XP starting can cause problems with scandisk?

i did a SMART check in BIOS which gives no errors (what HP told me to do) - what does it checks actually? the HDD indicators dont blink.

will a format be just a short term solution? cos if the "Bad" part is not used, no errors will appear right?

It semms to be a index logical error occured in the partition...

"This is not a valid Win32 application" means the Win32 EXE file has lost some header part...

However,it is not a physical drive hardware error...

Never Mind.

[iceangel89]

so it means if i do a format its likely to solve the problem?

for your info, this is fixed from a once unbootable partition, marked as BAD in Partition Magic (so refuses to resize/delete/format until i did a /ipe switch in partition magic) but fixed using a low level format - dunno if this didn't really fix it...

mmm ... dont mind formatting but my brother does. i am wiping out his files

hey found out something! when i restore this Acronis Image on another partition (E:\), the same thing happens! but ONLY when the XP is loaded, when i do a scan disk on the original corrupt XP (C:\) (i restored my Acronis Image on another partition w/o touching the original), no errors!

so i can conclude that if i reinstall every thing from scratch, there shouldn't be a problem?

and do u think that its the acronis image got corrupt after it was made? cos i did a validate archive wo issues. but i think b4 i create the image, there didn't seem o have any problems with the HDD...

this is the last chkdsk... after a clean install of XP (which is fine when i first do chkdsk with no progs). then after installing progs... i do 1 more and get

are Mozilla Firefox's Files??? i might uninstall firefox and see how tmr... but do u think its firefox's prob?

[iceangel89]

discovered something new!

on a clean XP install = no problems

on this clean install, install Firefox = no problems

use firefox = MFT problems appear

surf, i think so that cache fills = deleting indexes...

do u ppl using firefox have this problem also?

on another comp, with Firefox installed also i also have the same problem

Sorry...reply late...

I'm not sure why this situation appears...

If me, I would format this partition completely because chkdsk sometimes cannot fully fix the error in my computer-fixing days...

Format is a complete scheme to fix this kind of errors, I think (a little cruel:( )

After formatting the partition, clean install Windows XP...

(I suggest not installing the system without formatting the partition...)

and...another comp will appear the same error?

Is it the same HDD?

and... Better not use low level format (NOT Complete Formatting), except facing a really hardware fault...

By the way, could you post what hard disk you are using?

I want to see if I can find something...
