Never ran disk checker before but read that it was good to do this every few
weeks so decided to try it. noticed advisory that it took several hours so
when I quit work I started the thing up, I selected my drive C: checked
“Check file System†and “Check & Repair Disk Errors,†rebooted, left the
computer running & went home.
Came back next morning, computer was still running, screen showed “Checking
file System on C:†and “The type of file system is NTFS.†Didn’t show any
thing else. I saw there was no way to exit this screen so used the power
button to turn off. When I rebooted it returned to the same screen, with
another message: “A disk check has been scheduled, to skip disk checking,
press any key within 10 Seconds.
I had assumed “File Check†and “Disk Check†would both run during the night,
and I had work to do so I hit any key to cancel the disk check, but nothing
happened, the computer was frozen. Turned off with the power button, rebooted
and discovered I am locked in a loop and return to the same “A disk check has
been scheduled†screen every time I try a normal boot.
Attempt to boot in “Safe Mode†shows a lot of drivers loading, then freezes
after loading Mup.sys driver. “Last know good configuration†and “Debugging
mode†both take me to the XP Logo screen and I watch the blue dashes run for
a minute, then system freezes.
Don’t see any thing apparently wrong in BIOS. Can’t get to safe mode to run
system restore so would appreciate any advice on how to fix this.
