Help with check disk on XP

[coolspot007007]

I'm trying to use Ghost to clone my existing hard drive to a larger one. But it keeps saying theres errors on th C:\ drive so the copy never works. I've tried to run check disk to fix any errors but it won't run because it says it needs exclusive access. It says it can schedule it to run the next time you restart it, but when it does this is still doesn't have exclusive access so just says done and proceeds to the log on screen. I've uninstalled Mcaffee which didn't help and tried disabling as much stuff that i can think of using services.msc but still no luck. Any ideas?

Take it out and image it from another machine as a slave.

You need to boot your computer into the Windows Recovery Console using your Windows XP disc. Once in there select which hard drive you wish to perform the chkdsk on and then type the following:

chkdsk /r

chkdsk /rf
