windows 7 chkdsk won't run on c: drive on startup, sfc produces error
I'm trying to run chkdsk on my C: drive to resolve file allocation errors. I tell it to fix errors and recover bad sectors. It says the disk is in use, so I schedule it to run on next startup, but it never runs. I've tried booting in safe mode and running chkdsk /r with the same result - disk in use, won't run on next restart.
I've also tried running sfc /scannow to fix any system issues. It gets to 17% then errors out with STATUS_FILE_CORRUPT_ERROR #1561687# from Windows::Rtl::SystemImplementation:irectFileSystemProvider::SysCreateFile.
Are there any hotfixes or possible remedies that may not have mentioned on other similar threads? Thank you.
