Will running my computer with the corrupt files mess anything up more than it is now?1 person needs an answerI do too

Probably. But since you haven't given any description of the "corrupt files" or what lead up to the corruption, no one can give you a precise answer. Post back with more details so we can help you.

I gave a description of the message in the other posting that I sent out about running the chkdsk utility.

No one is going to search through thousands of posts looking for that. Post a link to it by going to the thread, copying the address, and pasting it back here.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
