Corrupt File C0000102 Parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c etc

[riptide]

As mentioned previously, I had the messsage yesterday that there was a corrupt file on my Sony laptop which is running Windows XP. I checked on Norton under the disk optimization test and it said that I should check the C drive saying system errors consider running chkdsk.

I was very kindly told by one of the experts that I should run the following type "cmd." then "chkdsk/f. I tried doing this and windows came back with the message that there was no such file. I then typed in under run "chkdsk" and it came back in a read only message, F parameters not specified and started running about 10 corrupt files which it said was deleting but nothing happened and they are still there.

I am by no means an expert and the laptop is getting old and I am looking round for a desktop now, although I will have to get a wireless card as it is not possible to have my computer near the router. I do not move the laptop around, hence considering desktop.

Is my laptop about to give up on me, bearing in mind that it now has corrupt files. Is there anything else I can do to try and get rid of them. I am not an expert but can follow straight forward instructions.

Thanks for your help people.

Did you put a space between "chkdsk" and "/f"?

Hi, its likely to be the System Restore that has been prevented from checking your system files, this is caused by not having enough free disc space for System Restore to check your files, usually at boot up via chkdsk. Check gow much free space your C drive has, right click My Computer, look at Properties, click System Restore tab, if the settig is higher for your C drive than your C drive has, use the bar to reduce the setting, this should also change the status to monitoring, repeat with any other disk partitions you use (but its usally the C drive) then restart, this should kick chkdsk into action (may take a long while for chkdsk to run), Then the error messages should go away. Think about clearing up some space on your C drive afterwards and bumping the setting back up again if you can.
