Inconstent file system
Posted 30 October 2010 - 01:15 PM
Hi. I have been through a lot and I really need help. It all started when I was trying to install Windows XP on a second partition of my drive. It worked for a while but eventually It broke and I erased the partition. I had used EasyBSD to dual boot 7 and XP, so when I deleted the XP partition, when I booted up it just said "Missing Operating System" and I had to re-install 7. Now, windows 7 says that my hard drive is 121 GB, when GParted says its 250. (or somewhere close to there. My hard drive is 250 GB) Whenever I try to resize or check the drive in GParted, an error comes up on both the GParted Live CD and Backtrack 4. It says "File system inconsistent, run chkdsk /f and reboot twice." (thank you spellcheck!) Whell, can't check a drive that my os is running on so I had to restart and it checked the drive at the beginning of boot. It checks it instantly and says "drive is clean". I don't know what to do next. Please help!!!
Is This A Good Question/Topic?

Hook the drive to a USB converter & plug this into a working Windows xp machine. From there you can run chkdsk on the attached drive. Alternatively you can boot from a Windows xp boot disk, choose 'repair console', & from that console you can run chkdsk.

like i said, chdsk didnt work. I went into gparted and just reformatted the entire drive and reinstalled windows 7. I needed to reinstall it anyway as it was getting slow.

Now that's some real Windows troubleshooting
Microsoft makes EMO Operating Systems, because standard operation causes them to be harmful to themselves.

You could share with us what worked, say thank you & go about your business. Or, you don't have to do anything at all.
But sharing the solution does allow others to fix their situation with what worked for you.
** Update **
Oh, nvmd, I see you already forced the solution ... just as well, nothing more on the topic is required.
