Well I finally got back to this but found the item closed -- so a new one but same thing. I dis the chkdsk c: /F /R I got something along the lines of "Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode". At that point I either did a power off or a restart (don't remember) but when it came back up it went into the utility. It ran with no error on the C disc. So I reran on the D disc only it wasn't really a hard disc just a DVD but it ran. In fact I ran it twice more on each. Everything was fine. BTW I finally figured out my mouse problem was really a USB hub problem. Mouse working fine now and Windows loads just fine.

It turns out that my other hard disc is actually E. So I tried to invoke chkdsk utility to run on the E disc. I now have the same 'access denied' as before but no matter what I do I can't get it to run. I brought up 'users' from the control panel and checked -- I have administrator privilege.

What to do?

Did you make sure to right click on cmd.exe and run it as administrator?

LOL. It would be nice if a question like that was preceded with "did you forget to...". That way we both could pretend that I actually knew to do that but just forgot instead of acknowledging that I am just a twit. But anyway, that worked of course but I'm not sure of the results. That thing runs a long time and when it's done it just goes away and I am looking at the logon screen. Is there some way to tell it to stick around or to log the results where they can be perused?

The results will be in the event viewer

Well I found the event viewer but didn't see a log. Perhaps you can tell me a bit more.

It is normally under the winlogon category.

So in the "Find What" block I tried chkdsk and Chkdsk. Hit "Find Next" but it never showed a log.

Based on your other post about i/o devices errors I would say the hard drive is bad.
