chkdsk will not run, not sure what to do next

(1/3) > >>

MAS51:
Hi,
I have run into a problem while attempting to update a Dell Studio 1558 (i5 w/ 6 Gb RAM).  Before attempting the work, I ran the tweaking repair tool to make sure the system was in top shape; this is where things have gone sour.  I ran the pre-check and got the following error:
C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB3009736~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.cat
This deals with an MP4 issue which makes no sense on why chkdsk will not run on restart.  When I run it inside the tools it shows there are errors and cannot continue in read-only (log file below) mode.  When I try to set chkdsk /f in admin console and reboot it will not run.
I have tried a couple things to fix it but nothing my feeble brain comes up with has worked.  What steps SHOULD I try to resolve this issue?  Thank you for any help and light you can shed on this issue.

Have you run an anti-malware scan to check that the system is clean ?

If the system appears to be clean, then run sfc /scannow to see what it reports.

If it reports that it cannot repair some files then run SFCFixe.exe from http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sfcfix.html

That will put its report onto the Desktop which you can copy & paste into the reply box, but read through the MajorGeeks page before downloading.

Either Shane or Julian will upload that Package for you with instructions in how to copy it, but like you, I doubt that would have stopped chkdsk /f from running as corrupt Package files usually just affect Windows Updates - although you could create a restore point and run the Hotfix to see if that resolves the Package error, but chdsk failure usually points to other corruption which a sfc /scannow may or not fix.

Julian:
I found the file for you and uploaded it. here is a quote from one of Shane's previous posts on another thread about the steps to take to apply these files.

First grab the zip file off this page and apply the reg file it in to add the take owner ship to the right click menu in explorer.

Once that is done go to C:\Windows\servicing\ and right click on Packages and click on take ownership. You will now be able to copy the files into that folder.

I have attached the missing files, extract the files out of the attached zip file and put them in the C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\ folder.

Then run my pre-scan again, put a check on the box to have it add the cat files back to the database. :wink:

OK, here is where we are with this now.  I ran Malwarebytes and it picked up four potential programs that were adware.  Chkdsk still would not run so I ran sfc /scannow- it goes to 32% and stops w/ errors. Ran sfcfix and the file is attached.  Went into the registry w/ regedit to look at thatkey as noted in 2nd post.  I wanted to post the findings there before I edited and restored back to normal in order to better understand what was set there (if anyone can enlighten me). 
The registry key for BootExecute read:
autocheck autochk /p \??\C:
autocheck autochk *

I am getting ready to try what is in post 3 and will repost after that also.  In the meantime, anyone have a clue on the extras in the BootExecute or what I can do to fix the rest of these errors?
