Yeah, this is the main partition. According to the web sites I have
read, there should be no problem with what I'm doing, even with this
being the boot partition.
Here's the message I get when I run "chkdsk /f":
<output>
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) Y
This volume will be checked the next time the system restarts.

Yet when I restart, there is no unusual lag in the start up (which would
be necessary to scan an entire hard drive). I also continue getting the
message, upon running chkdsk without /f, that I need to do chkdsk /f.
Weird.

Looks like some how dirty bit setting has been disabled on your drive which is
essential for running chkdsk at boot time. Try running fsutil to query/set
the dirty bit on your drive. To read more about fsutil head here

Strange. Even when I set the dirty bit and restart, no check was done. I
think it's time to call up IBM. Maybe one of their wonderful
contraptions is stopping chkdsk at startup >_<
