I recently dual-booted under Vista x64 and Ubuntu 9.04. Instead of using Vista to re-partition before installing Ubuntu, I just let the Ubuntu installer re-partition the drive.
Now when I boot into Vista, CHKDSK runs. It passes the first stage, but it hangs on the second “verifying indexes” stage. If I skip it, everything seems to run perfectly.
What could it be hanging on? Is there anyway to force it to validate or update its indexes (if that even makes sense in this situation – I’m used to DB indexes)?
Answer
Get into Vista (in recovery mode if necessary) and do a chkdsk -f on the boot drive. That should schedule a fix for the next boot (I think the chkdsk that’s running isn’t automatically fixing). By forcing it to fix, it should clean itself up.
