after failing to partition my drive (see my thread about it here:http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-...gic-8-0-a.html)

i performed chkdsk on my only drive and recieved:
"WARNING! F Parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read0only mode."
Stage 1 of 3 (verifying files) completes as does stage 2 (veryifying indexes, which deletes 6 iTunes related files)
and then says it:

"Verifying indexes complete

Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode."

Not sure what to do

Hello, guys.
I got this #4444 error too under powerquest pq7 and pq8 but it's ok under norton pq8.
Also I installed Vista on my hd, and i also think this is the problem.

I fix this error just by running chkdsk under win xp twice,

if not done, put vista boot disc to CD-Drive, and switch to boot folder, run bootsect /nt52 Cor D: etc..) may give little help too.

what can PM do that you can't do in disk management?

[DaveBurnett]

PM can handle far more file types and also works on OS's other than Vista

Although I tend to use Acronis Disk Director more now.

Hi Guys
I'm New (My First Post)
I Have The Same Problem Error 4444

I've Tried The chkdsk /f
& It Worked Perfectly

I Found The Techguy While Googling This Error.
I've Noticed That The Reppeat Of This Problem Is Not Much 2 Years From The First Till The Second & Another Couple Till The Third.

By The Way, I Found That The HDD With This Problem Was Virused I Dont Know If The Virus Attacked The MBR Or Somthing Else, But It's Good To Check.

Good Luck
