I need help running down the cause of a CHKDSK command problem on my
system. I have an IDE drive and a SCSI drive. Now, all of a sudden I
cannot properly run CHKDSK on the SCSI drive, the D: drive.

If I simply run CHKDSK with no switches (CHKDSK D:), it works. However,
if I use switches to cleanup the hard drive (CHKDSK D: /F:2, for
example), I get the following error message:

SYS0108 The disk is in use or locked by another process

I am able to use DIR as normal on the drive to get a directory readout.

This is a new problem. CHKDSK always worked previously on all my
partitions. The only thing new that I've done was to install a Promise
Ultra100 IDE controller card for the IDE drive. I've since uninstalled
the controller card and put my system back to the way it was (using the
IDE interface on the motherboard). However, I still get the CHKDSK error
message.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.
