I had in my computer pc- doctor for window I run the diagnostic and the computer passed all. So why the computer checking the hard drive, but can't access it.

Hi transit,

Is your computer updated with Service Pack 2 for Windows XP?
It is a known issue with computers that do not possess SP2 (kb823439).
You can find the service pack here.

Hope to help,

Mythio

Do you, by chance, have Spyware Doctor installed on your computer ?

It is a documented issue that the file ikhlayer.sys in C: \windows\system32\drivers may cause checkdisk to not perform its task.

If you do uninstall the program and try checkdisk again.

Run hard drive diagnostics: http://www.tacktech....ay.cfm?ttid=287
Make sure, you select tool, which is appropriate for the brand of your hard drive.
Depending on the program, it'll create bootable floppy, or bootable CD.
If downloaded file is of .iso type, use ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/ to burn .iso file to a CD (select "Write image file to disc" option), and make the CD bootable.

NOTE. If your hard drive is made by Toshiba, unfortunately, you're out of luck, because Toshiba doesn't provide any diagnostic tool.

Thanks to Broni for the instructions
