Ok So go to disk properties ....... error checking .. select
auto fix ... error message ' needs to run at re-start.

re-boot and chkdsk reports ntfs file system, cannot access
volume , fails to run and boots into windows

with window's running ...

by -not- checking the 2 tic boxes .. chdsk runs , reports phase
- , then phase 2 .. then reports 'cannot complete' stops and
closes

QQQ how to run disk utilities .. will not run in re-boot
mode .. or directly from windows ?

is this caused by the intel -sata disk driver ??
