need help with shutdown before logon

[jabberg27]

I keep getting an error
saying my computer is going to shutdown in 1 minute and of course it does do this. I cant figure how to fix it.

 

[Hefemeister]

what operating system are you running?

 

[jabberg27]

windows xp

 

[jabberg27]

It has an error code C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe -214748645 status code and it will boot in all safe modes but I can istill cant figure out how to fix the problem

 

[Trotter]

Go into Safe Mode and use chkdisk. Follow this link for directions (use the /f /r option):
Windows XP chkdsk - The Details

If that doesn't fix the problem you could try a repair install since you are running XP.

Ok I did the chkdsk c: and it said I have problems but if I go with chkdsk c:/f/r it tells me it cannot run because the volume is in use by another process and wants me to schedule at restart and when I resart it doesnt even come on

I went into fsutil dirty query and the link u gave me trotter said that it should read c: is not dirty but guess what it says c: is Dirty

 

[Trotter]

Try this. In Computer or My Computer (depends on which version of Windows you have), right-click on the C: drive and choose Properties. Once there, choose the Tools tab. Under Error Checking, click Check Now. Choose both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors", then click Start. This should force the computer to reboot and run chkdsk for you.

no that didnt work either I tried that also in the link you gave me it said that the drive has to be locked. well how do you lock it

 

[KSoD]

Boot to the XP Cd. Go into the Recovery Console. There type sfc /scannow and let that go. After that type in chkdsk /r /f and let that scan.

it said that the drive has to be locked. well how do you lock it

It locks on reboot. If the disk is in use, like, say, running Windows, it can't be locked.

Do what Mak said. That was the next thing to try.
