I am using Windows XP. I am trying to run chkdsk /f on my system. Upon restart I am getting a error message related to chkdsk. The error is "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.". I am not able to understand why the error appeared. Because last time the same worked really properly without any issue.
Go in safe mode and directly in cmd run chkdsk. See what output you get on the same. I am sure that will be far more better. There can be number of issues with chkdsk based on system file errors. Just as an alternative you can simply use a third party software like hddscan to get more information on your drive status. I am sure it will be more helpful compared to chkdsk in giving you output on your hard drive.
I was facing the same bug in my pc also. I was not aware how does it appear automatically. Later on I removed Zone Alarm and the issue was solved. I am still not able to find the connection between zone alarm and chkdsk. But anyhow the problem is solved and I am able to use it back.
