Post subject: CHKDSK at startup / Win2K Add to elertz
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win2000>general (more info?)

I tried to run Error Checking (CHKDSK) on my Win2K Pro, and selected both
options to auto fix file system errors and scan/attempt recovery of bad
sectors. A popup window advised it would require running at startup, so I
OK'd the schedule, then restarted system to allow CHKDSK to scan, fix,
recover. CHKDSK proceeded thru its 5 phases, completed each to 100% with no
apparent issue, but upon completing the last phase the system moved to a blue
screen with the following stop error:

*** STOP: 0x0000000A (0xC0001C8C, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8043832C)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

*** Address 8043832C base at 80400000, DateStamp 45ec3c8f - ntoskrnl.exe

"If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

"Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If
this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for
any Windows 2000 updates you might need.

"If this problem continues, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. Check
your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. If you
need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer,
press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options and then select Safe Mode.

"Refer to your Getting Started manual for more information on
troubleshooting Stop errors."

OK, so following this blue screen I did restart, tried to envoke Safe Mode
but then the scheduled CHKDSK started again, during which the keyboard is
completely unresponsive and does not let you opt to bypass the CHKDSK scan.
It goes thru the full scan with precisely the same results each time, each
phase 100% complete then jumps to the same blue screen. The result is an
endless loop of CHKDSK...

How can I get into a command prompt prior to CHKDSK starting so that I can
either rename the CHKDSK file ot the AUTOCHK file so that I can proceed to
booting into Windows? Otherwise, what other alternatives can you suggest?
If you suggest a quick boot disk, please advise specific files I would need
(keep in mind this is Win2K and not the easier WinXP) in order to be able to
see the NTFS files on C:.. A bootable disk I created with an XP machine
would not let me get beyond A: (i.e. I could not redirect to C: on the Win2K
machine), so there must have been some necessary files missing, but I do not
know which ones.

What happens if you run;

chkdsk /r
from the recovery console command line. (/r implies /f and /p)

To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000
Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup
floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD,
use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks. At
the "Welcome to Setup" screen. Press F10 or R to repair a Windows 2000
installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery
Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do not have
the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the
computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery
Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,
and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated,
you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard
disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer: drive
root, %systemroot% or %windir%

A bootdisk/CD that will enable you to access NTFS drives can be obtained
from:

Thanks, Sid, I had already tried that to no avail. The product lets you read
c: but you cannot rename any file. Still trying all possibilities, though.
Any other suggestions are welcomed. - riskman

Did you try booting to the Last Known Good Configuration?

Can you mount the Windows 2000 disk in another Windows 2000 or Windows
XP machine. If yes then you can load the registry's System hive from
the C:\WINNT\system32\config folder and edit the Session Managers
BootExecute value in the proper (or all) ControlSetnnn key. For easy
instructions on how to Load a Remote registry hive see here:
http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm

If you want to do this and need further instructions please post again.

Mind you, I'm not convinced that this will rid you of the 0x0A error.

Booting from Last Known Good Config does not work, since current config is
good but just stuck in this loop. The problem seems to be that wherever this
command is in the registry it does not find the CHKDSK has satisfactorily
completed, so it continues to run it at each startup. I will try mounting it
as a slave disk in another Win2K machine, though, and follow your posted
instructions for another alternative. Then if that doesn't work, maybe I can
at least try to access the Autochk and Chkdsk files so if nothing else I can
maybe rename Chkdsk to disable it long enough to get my system working again.
Thanks for the assist. I'll f/u later to let you know results. - riskman

There is one method listed that purports to let you "View, Copy, Write,
And Edit Files On NTFS Drives" though I haven't looked at it myself.

It links (ultimately) to:
