As the chkdsk /r is failing to run on the reboot, something else seems to be going on here and resolving that could resolve the iTunes install and file deletion problem.

It was the iTunes install failure that brought up the problem with the file deletion which could be a permissions issue, or corruption in the registry which the MS Fix it may be able to resolve - but I would go for resolving the chkdsk problem first.

Sometimes when a file cannot be uninstalled, renaming it can resolve just as attempting its uninstall/delete in Safe Mode can.

Shane:
The chkdsk sometimes has to be ran a 2nd time to get it to stick, not sure why. But the registry setting does look correct so it should be starting at the next boot up.

Chkdsk itself doesnt run at the boot up, chkdsk is the windows version, autochk is the one that runs outside of windows and is the one that should be doing the scan at startup. But if autochk is corrupt as well or missing from the windows system32 folder then that would explain why it isnt running.

Boggin:
The suggestion to run chkdsk without any parameters was to see if it finds any problems and what it recommends, but perhaps there'll be something in Event Viewer.

Hi, Wannabe has not said anything about the solutions or suggestions
