Hi i have a dell xps m1530 running on Windows Vista Home premium and yesterday wanted to do a system restore and this is what happened
System Restore gives me the following error when I try to go back to a restore point: "The disk Local Disk (C has errors. Windows has detected file system corruption on Local Disk (C. You must check the disk for errors before it can be restored."
It then gives me a link that says "Check the disk for errors". When I click on this, it says "Windows can't check the disk while in use" and gives me an option to "Schedule disk check".
However, when I schedule the disk check for the next restart, and then restart my computer, the disk check freezes after checking 2% of the files. I'm also unable to cancel the disk check (the starting page says it can be canceled by pressing any key... this doesn't work!). I must have restarted my computer about 10 times, the disk check failing to cancel AND freezing every single time, before I figured out how to restart with the last successful configuration.
I currently can use Windows without any errors - there are just some recent minor bugs that I find incredibly annoying, which is why I was attempting to use System Restore.
Is there any way I can get System Restore and/or the Disk Check to work?
