Give it a try & see if that does anything. I usually like to specify everything at the prompt (for example):

" C:>chkdsk c: /x /f " (w/out the quotation marks, of course).

By the sounds of your post, your volume must dismount first in order for chkdsk to access it. But a reboot should startup chkdsk w/out a hitch. Another option to explore, execute above command from safe mode & restart.

Just a thought ...
No I havent tried that..What does the /x & /f commands do? I got chkdsk to run from the XP disk in the recovery console.But that didnt solve the problem..
