Default Corrupted autochk.exe


Hello,

I'm using Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario. I had a message one
day that said "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" was not installed. My
Bluetooth has been working fine before. I thought maybe something
corrupted the files or something.

I tried to do a system restore, but windows wouldn't let me cos I had
some disk errors. My chkdsk.exe wouldn't run on startup, because after
running the sfc command, it said my autochk.exe was corrupted. I
replaced it with autochk.exe from both the Vista and XP version (sfc
command of the files showed no integrity violations). But anyways, even
after replacing it my sfc command still says its corrupted. Now it's got
me worried what else is corrupted. I'm sure my disk must be pretty
messed up.

I'm hoping there's someway I can fix it. I'd probably only do a recover
to its original state as a last resort.

Thanks!

If the network is not usable as is then you may have to reset the
factory image. For future reference I'd recommend getting an external
USB drive(if you don't already have one) and doing image backups. You
can get a free image backup program called Paragon Drive Backup
Express(I use the Personal version $40 but the free one works with a few
less features.) If you do frequent backups and your system gets hosed,
when you restore the image you only lose changed made since your last
backup. Way less frustrating than laying a restore on since all your
installed programs work as they did when backed up.
