I have installed linux using the wubi installer, and recently my Windows partition became corrupt (hangs during boot). I would like to run chkdsk on it to try and fix it, but I cannot figure out a way to schedule it from the linux boot. I have also tried running ntfsfix, but I cannot unmount the windows partition (it always says it is busy even after I closed any processes running on it). I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I installed linux using wubi.
I have also tried booting using a windows cd to the recovery console but before it gets to the recovery console I get a blue screen error.
Is there another way to fix the windows disk without reformatting?
Answer
The best would be to boot the Windows CD and use recovery console’s chkdsk if at all possible.
Booting a Linux live CD like the SystemRescueCD to use ntfsfix would also work if you do not have the Windows CD or does not support your hard disk controller.
