Cannot do error-checking on either harddrive in Win2k Pro!
This is a discussion about Cannot do error-checking on either harddrive in Win2k Pro! in the Windows Software category; I just recently did a fresh install of Win2k Pro. I partition a Maxtor 40+ harddrive into two partitions, one being NTFS and the other Fat32. And I have another harddrive thats its own Fat32 partition.
I just recently did a fresh install of Win2k Pro. I partition a Maxtor 40+ harddrive into two partitions, one being NTFS and the other Fat32. And I have another harddrive thats its own Fat32 partition. Win2k is installed in C:, the NTFS partition. When I go into explorer, right click on the drives, and try to check for errors, I get "Windows was unable to complete the disk check." And this is what I get for all 3 partitions! Its annoying me a little bit, because the msg is so vague and I have no idea whats causing it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Run
'chkdsk /f' from a dos prompt within w2k.

Haha...I feel pretty dumb. What caused the error was actually just administrator privileges. You can't do chkdsk or use the window version of it if you don't have admin privileges. But from the error msg, you would have never guessed that this is the cause!
