Corrupted file error message Windows...

I get the above error message title...  I ran 'chkdsk' several times and it has still not corrected this error... what needs to be done at this point?  The error is:

The file or directory C:\System Volume Information\_restore {94800E57-BEBA-4742-B1DB-66A7419215AB} \RP341 is corrupt.

Thanks a lot Elizabeth23 for your answer to my problem.  After much trial and error to try to remedy my situation, I took my computer to my friend who has a knowing computers and he was able to quickly locate the corrupted file and remove it from my system.  I appreciate your suggestions and will keep on place by chance I should run into a similar situation like this even once.  :-)  I'll definitely check these links about detection of malicious software programs.

    My Cookie file was corrupted in data and my programs continually pop up with the 'corrupt file' error when a program opens, pointing to \Users\name\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies.

    The problem is, Chkdsk will not fix this, and I can't access the file. This opens up a world of problems when I need to fix this error, so I can upgrade to Windows 7. Help, please!

    I just ran the scan again. He said of the errors found, but could not be repaired.

    This problem actually has nothing to do with internet explorer. It's the cookies folder that is corrupt in the Windows folder in roaming. The error file is in conjunction with the programs, that I try to run (AIM, Skype, so forth). Trying to enter the folder it says it's corrupt. I don't know what is the root of the problems or how to solve this problem, but these measures have not helped so far. Regarding the repair, I will try that next.

    Example: AVG, Zone Alarm

    Important:

    O before you uninstall the security software disconnect the computer from the internet. Make sure that the windows firewall is enabled.

    Ø you may need to check with the manufacturer of security software for reinstallation and activation.

    O re - install the security software on the computer.

    * Original title: 8 victory moved - Error Message: failed to create new partition...

    I have Win XP on my Dell Dimension 5150, which is the dual boot with Linux Mint 12 Lisa and this is my favorite of the bunch.

    I bought the DVD of 8 Pro Windows by an Australian retailer.

    Win XP is on a 39 GB partition with other application files. I had to delete several files to get the free space necessary to WIN 8 and finally finished by formatting the partition and passes for a COMPLETE new installation.

    Unfortunately, I now get the "failed to create new partition or find existing. For more information, see the Setup log file"error message. I can't find a Setup log file that I do a boot from the DVD.

    I tried to delete all external drives and other USB devices, including my Modem but my Wired USB keyboard/mouse.

    Two internal HARD drives are as follows:
    Disk 0 Partition 1-110 GB - system (LINUX)
    Disk 0 Partition 2 - 3.5 GB - logical

    I solved the problem. It seems that you can not install on a secondary partition with in an earlier version of windows. You must restart the computer and run the installation from a dvd or other media.  Once you get the installation running you should be able to install on another partition without any problems.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period
