How Do You Repair A Broken Windows XP 64 File System?
A file system is the method by which files are cataloged and arranged on a hard drive. Where the file system becomes impaired, you will have difficulty locating files in a timely fashion–or at all. The 64-bit version of Windows XP comes with a built-in took called Chkdsk (Check Disk), which is a utility that scans the hard drive to ensure the integrity of the file system, repairing any bad sectors that it finds. Open the “Start” menu and click on the “Run” button. This will display a small text box on-screen. Type “cmd” in the text box and press “Enter.” A DOS window containing a command prompt will appear. Type “chkdsk” and press “Enter.” This will begin the automated Check Disk process, locating any bad areas of the hard drive’s file system. Type “chkdsk /f” and press “Enter” if bad sections are found. This will result in a repair of your hard drive’s file system.
