I just tried this, but can't seem to replicate the error.
Bug in Windows 7 RTM
- Run an elevated CMD prompt
- Run CHKDSK <drive letter:> /r
- With task manager open, you should see your memory quickly gobbled away in the chkdsk.exe process until it either stops at or around 90% or it maxes completely out and crashes the computer.

I managed to replicate it. Ran it on C: and it didn't do anything. Ran chkdsk on my D: (2nd hard drive) and up it shot.
3.59GB usage is the highest it got and didn't go above this. I didn't want to wait much longer though incase it did end up crashing my PC.

It's not *that* much of a concern for me. It's not like I'm going to be running chkdsk on my D drive every day, but it would be nice if it got sorted.

As most of you know, Windows 7 is expected to hit technet and MSDN by August 6th to a much anticipated welcome. However, this particlar issue looks strangely out of place and makes you wonder how exactly this passed through validation:
To Reproduce:
**note, this will only occur if you have second or multiple hard drives, it does not happen on the drive installed with the OS.
