Hi Im trying to delete some corrupt files on my windows xp system. In dos I ran chkdsk:c it seems to work partways until it asks for it must be run in not read only mode. How do you do that. Chris Ruona :) :)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.
