I received BSOD edit in Windows 8.. It is currently looping inScanning disk for errors. I did a chkdsk and the message I got back was

"WARNING! F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read only mode
Read only CHKDSK found bad on disk uppercase table- using system table"

I'm not sure where to go from here. Please help

try and run chkdsk with the f parameter f= fix not just report the problems.

so it would be like:
start cmd.exe as an admin then run
chkdsk c: /f

if the drive is in use then the chkdsk might be scheduled to run when you reboot.

I am not sure about the uppercase table it might be related to how the old filenames were converted to uppercase letters before they were stored in the file allocation table. Certain programs could tweak the table and use lower case letters and these would be considered errors in the table.
(unix backup utilities or programs directly making changes could cause this, certain letters do not have a upper case version)

the /f should fix the problem and let the file system work as expected but it might break the program that made the change. (virus, old back up programs, non microsoft operating systems files, ...)
