HarrisonS Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 After trying to run McAfee VirusScan yesterday, my computer froze up completely, after that application had reached "27% complete". It was so completely frozen that I could not open any other application, including Task Manager, and I could not even do a shutdown. There was no alternative, but but to an improper shutdown by shutting the power off. Since then, every time I start my computer, I get a message that says,Checking file system on D:The type of file system is NTFS.The volume is dirty.IIt then does a time consuming run of CHKDSK on drive D:, and then shows the results, which are completely normal and error free. (Note: I have two hard drives, C: and D:.) If I run CHKDSK from drive D: using the command line, again, I get completely normal results. If I try CHKDSK/F it complains that "another process is using drive D"" even though I have no applications running.What exactly is the problem, and how can I fix it?

allen2 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You could disable autocheck but that would not be a proper solution.I'd try to boot from a winpe/bartpe/XP install CD/DVD.... and do a proper chkdsk /r of both partitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geej Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 How about shutdown McAfee VirusScan first , then try CHKDSK/F again. Ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
