Hi.

Try to scan your D:. If its happening, you will have to reload your widows XP.

This error occurs, since windows is loaded on c: and thus it is mounted and chdisk is unable to unmount it. So just schedule chkdisk and restart ur PC to check.

Dood how would you unmount windows and then run scandisk

Hell dis thing doesnt run even in Safe mode I tried it out rite now. It runs fine on other drives but not on c:. Try using another scanning software.
