After chkdsk volume is clean, cannot leave disk check program

Today, I decided to run chkdsk on my Windows XP laptop. He told me that I have to restart the computer in the first place, I did. He ran through the cheque, and the end result, said the volume was clean, no errors. However, there was no way for me to leave this screen - no buttons to click, no instructions on what to do next. I waited 20 minutes, but no change. I tried pushing the ESC and Control/Alt/Del, the Windows key, all the F keys, all I could think about. The blue "volume is clean" screen wouldn't go away. I turned off the computer and then new. He began to start, but re-entered the command chkdsk mode directly. Volume was clean again, but still no way to escape the chkdsk screen and return to Windows. So I turned it off again, took out the battery, it turned on... same thing happened. How to use this form of final results? As far as I know, the computer is clean and healthy, but the darn chkdsk won't let me not get back to work!

Oh that the command chkdsk.

You must look in the event log for the results of the chkdsk command, which has run automatically and see what is said (i.e. report of chkdsk)).

Then you should check out the dirty bit on your hard drive to see what is the problem with this command chkdsk and what is the problem with it (you must ask).

Then I would run a chkdsk manually since the XP Recovery Console, so you can watch it in fact run and see what he has to say.

Only then, when you see him run with your own eyes if you think things are okay.

If your HARD drive has a physical problem, chkdsk may not be able to clear the dirty bit, and you can't delete it manually.

If XP still thinks that your volume is afflicted/Sales, your HARD drive has a problem and you should think to replace sooner rather than later (or hope that it lasts a long time).

You can tell XP not to check the volume ever, but who might be short-sighted.

Of course, because forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked and we know nothing on your system, it can be difficult to accomplish, but we'll see what happens.

    If you just want to start by running chkdsk /r on your hard drive (a good idea), I would follow the instructions below:

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

    Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Disk checking on Satellite P500 error

    Having owned my Satellite P500 for a few months, I thought I should check the drive for errors etc - no particular reason, "just in case" something

    I clicked on the button under computer/drive/properties/Tools/Error Checking / Check now... and, as expected, she offered schedule a scan next time that the computer has started. This he duly did, but after offering an opt-out from the disk check, the screen has become almost empty without indication of progress or anything else.

    The only indication that something could happen is the drive on the keyboard of flickering light.

    That's the way it should be, or if there is a meter on screen or progress or at least something to show this disc error checking is actually underway?

    I ran cmd/sfc/scannow and the following message appears: "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are provided in the CBS.logwindir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example, C:winddows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.

    I made a recovery disk. Programs I have installed (e.g. Microsoft Office) would be recorded on the recovery disk? If this is not the case, how to save this program (I have lost the installation disc).

    Thanks in advance!

    The same opinion here. Preinstalled operating system is corrupt and best option for you is to install the OS by using Toshiba recovery image.

    If you use the recovery for the OS installation disk will be formatted the whole HARD disk and before doing this backup all your important data.
    You probably have HARD drive option too (F8 > fix my computer). In this case, the C partition will be formatted only and all data saved on the second partition will be safe.

    All the additional applications you ve installed in the past will be therefore deleted after installation operation, you need to install it again.

    "they have installed?  You had somebody "clean" your computer and they have also installed Windows XP (you used to have Windows 2000)?

    The first thing you need to do is to determine if 'they' a legitimate version of Windows XP installed.  Download and run the MGADiag tool.  If the tool does not report that Windows is "genuine", take back it the computer and demand that 'they' install an authentic version, paid Windows XP.  While they are at it, tell them to install a driver for your HP Deskjet F300.

    • The top line, which only says: 'Pilot' is the complete set of software including software HP's Photosmart printer drivers and the scanner of your Deskjet.  As the HP notes, this is a very large download, so if you want this package, you must have a high-speed Internet connection or order the CD.
    • The second line, which says "Driver - Product Installation software" includes the basic print and scan drivers.  HP has said, "not all product features are supported with this installation package."  I don't know what "features" are not supported if you choose this option.
    • It should not necessary the "Patch" because or the other of the first two downloads is dated after the patch and so should be included.  After things are installed, you can download and install the most recent of the 3 "Updates".

    When you wrote that the printer "will not work" after a new installation of Windows XP, I assume that the printer is not installed at all.  Just in case, however, previously, you use the package that you download from HP, follow the instructions here to clean all traces of a failed attempt to install it.  (Note: remember "Step 4".)  "Step 6" refers to the directions outlined in the upper part of this post.)
