chkdsk

When trying to run a chkdsk from the Windows XP CD, it kept asking for an administrator password. I tried all the passwords I knew, and found none worked. In researching this I found a random post that said to use a Windows 2000 CD. I tried this, and IT WORKED. Chckdsk resolved the problem and I had another happy customer.
