How to set CHKDSK for drive C: in Windows 7
- by prashanth
I recently got a 0xc000007b error whenever I tried to run some application software.
I found that CHKDSK for C drive might be a solution. When I tried to do it from C drive properties, it said the drive was in use and asked to schedule CHKDSK at the next reboot. I clicked OK.
When I restart, I experience a BSOD. I waited for 10 minutes but still nothing happens. So I forced a shutdown (laptop) and again booted up the computer and got a BSOD for just 5 or 10 seconds and system boots and works with no problem.
I repeated all these steps four or four times and yet with the same results.
Is there any other way other than CHKDSK to solve the 0xc000007b error?
If not, why is CHKDSK not working at boot up? Can I force CHKDSK on drive C: to perform while the system is on?
Platform: Windows 7 64-bit.
