Cannot get chkdsk to run at startup

Asked by abbierich in Windows Vista

Tags: , ,

A file on my computer is corrupt, so even though I have uninstalled the program, I cannot reinstall because of the corrupt file. So, I tried to delete the file. No such luck. I even went into the command prompt to try to dump it, but nothing. It says I have to run chkdsk, but I cannot get it to run at startup. I go to computer>C>properties>check for errors>run at startup and then I shut down and boot up, but it doesn't run. It goes to my login and desktop. What am I doing wrong? I want to check the C drive.Start Free Trial
