Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2006CheckDisk in XP Professional
I can not get my system to perform CheckDick.. I have tried in regular mode and also in Safe Mode and get the following message "The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be accessed only by restarting Windows. Do youwant to schedule this disc check to occur the next time you restart the computer? Yes No" Of course I restarted the computer and go through th process until a get this message again. Cannot lock volume for direct access Cannot open volume for direct access Unable to run CHKDSK http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555484 A program called Hitman Pro can cause the problem. Also a really old version of ZoneAlarm can cause the problem.  SignatureHope this helps. Let us know. Wes MS-MVP Windows Shell/User > I can not get my system to perform CheckDick..

That's the correct action - Windows will always have exclusive use of the boot drive, system drive and any other drive you have a pagefile on - so chkdsk must be run either before windows boots or from the recovery console.
