Problem With Windows Xp Home

[rf9rider]

Been having problems shutting down, ran scandisk, here`s what happens;
It runs through the three stages,then i get this;
Correcting errors in the volume bitmap
Found problem with file system
Run CHKDSK with /F to correct these.
So i type CHKDSK/F then it says cannot run as the volume is in use by another process, would you like to schedule this volume to be checked next time system starts? y/n.

Cant i run /F because its correcting the first problem? (volume bitmap)
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
Also, how long would it take to correct the first problem, and do i just leave it running, and will it give me a message when the first problem is fixed?
Thanks again.

check the Annoyances.org link. next time a problem arises, follow this GUIDE (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=64831&view=findpost&p=591133) and i&#39;d suggest u get either firebird or a right click utility that u can highlight, right-click and google. that&#39;s what i always do and 90% of the times i get what i&#39;m searching for.

Mate to do a proper chkdsk you need to do it from dos ..because it need total access..Just change your bios to boot from the xpcd and use the repair cmd.

type "chkdsk /f /r"
