Cannot defragment the HARD drive

• Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

  I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

  If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

  You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

  If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

• Is it advisable to defragment the hard drive of a camcorder?

  Hi, anyone with experience knows if I should defragment/optimise the hard drive of my handycam Sony HDR - SR12E AVCHD PAL?

  I use PerfectDisk with 64-bit Windows 8.1.1 and first elements 11.

  ' 'This PC' (formerly 'my computer') recognizes the drive but the message when she reads the by clicking Properties/tools ' optimization is not available.

  However, the PerfectDisk program recognizes the drive and seems ready to optimize. But I would like someone with experience to confirm this defragmentation/optimization of the handycam hard drive is recommended.

  RTA Hi, I have indeed heard back from Sony, and it should defragment the hard drive of a Sony camcorder! We should format it! -I copy and paste emails from Sony:

  Hi Phil,

  My name is Troy. Please contact Sony. I apologize for the late response.

  I studied this for you. We certainly do not recommend or don't recommend to defragment the hard disk, in fact this might void the warranty if within the warranty period.

  What I would recommend, instead of deleting the files after copying them to the computer, I recommend you format the hard drive.

  Formatting the hard drive will erase all data on the hard drive and it will do it more efficiently than deleting the files.

  To format your hard drive on your handycam, follow these steps:

  1) press the HOME button

  (2) select MANAGE MEDIA

  (3) select MEDIA FORMAT

  (4) select HARD drive

  (5) select YES

  (6) [completed] should appear, press OK.

  (7) finish. Now use the camera as normal.

  * Note, as mentioned, all data will be erased, so make sure you only format once you have everything you need saved.

• Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

  I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
  He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

  When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

  I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

  Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

  Thanks for anyone who can help you.

• Re: My laptop does not start, it cannot detect the hard drive

  I'm having the same problem but a bit different. I noticed that the support said to replace the hard drive and that's what I did with a disc Windows 8.1 and I took a step after test and see if my hard drive is not really usable. I put it in another computer that is also running Windows 8.1. It worked but my origianl computer still does not work, it says always "no drive detected". What the heck!

  think at this point, the best thing to do for you what we call. It is perhaps that the computer is a little less than a year and is still under warranty. Whatever the case, a technical support professional phone can certainly discuss your options with you.

  What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:
  
  Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
  Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
  Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
  Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

• The installation of XP Pro cannot find the hard drive

  The machine is running XP Pro 32-bit, and I am "upgrading" to 64-bit to work with AutoCAD.  When I boot on the 64-bit Setup installation CD can not find the hard drive and the demolitions.  The drive is already formatted to NTFS.

  You try to install on a SATA drive or your disks are on an add-in controller card and the Windows XP Installer x 64 doesn't have the required driver for the controller so it can't detect the drive.

  You have three options:

  1 - Use the F6 method to provide the installer for Windows XP x 64 mass storage drivers.  Drivers MUST be provided on a floppy disk, the Setup program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.

  2 - enter your CD of Windows XP x 64 drivers.  Note you will find reference to SP3 slipstreaming your Windows CD which you can install Windows on a SATA drive, but please note that Windows XP x 64 doesn't have a SP3, SP2 is the latest service pack for Windows XP x 64.

  3 (for the integrated SATA controllers) go into the BIOS and put the controller in IDE, most motherboard with SATA controllers mode on Board have an option to do this.  When mode IDE Windows XP Setup will see the drive and you will be able to install Windows.  Once Windows is installed, you will be able to install the SATA drivers from the installation of Windows XP operational.  You install the SATA drivers before changing the SATA mode controller in the BIOS, or when the Windows boot up upward a BSOD with a 0x7b error.

• WRT610N trouble: cannot share the HARD drive

  Hello!

  The problem is that I can't share HARD drive connected to my WRT610 via USB. The system continues to say "can not find the network address. I use XP with Service Pack 3. I tried all the instructions of the different forums (this statement too - http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=10&login=1&app=search&vw=1&articleid=17419&donelr=1). I tried 2 different HDD-WD My passport Essential 500 GB and 2 TB of Seagate. Without success.

  HARD drive sharing is one of the main reasons why I chose this router. If it doesn't work, I have to buy a new one.

  I'll be happy to hear any suggestions at all.

  Thanks in advance.

  Reset of the router for 1 minute, power cycle the router and check again. Make sure you remove the HARD drive before resetting the router...

• M6-1105dx cannot detect the hard drive

  my machine is m6-1105dx with Windows 7. It cannot start with an error "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. The error number is 3F0 and he recalled by pressing F2 for system diagnostics.

  In diagnostic tests, memory test works fine, but the hard disk check gives error "SMART Check: NOT INSTALLED; "DST short: DO NOT INSTALLED."

  I tried with two different hard disks and there were mistakes. Anyone know what is happening?

  Assuming that hard drives are actually showing good on another PC, then the SATA cable may be bad, does not have the connections, or the contoller is bad.  I would like to start by refuse as those first several elements - HDD, SATA cable, connections, etc are good.  If it is the controller, it is not easy to repair on a laptop.  Probably needs a new motherboard.  I used something similar to THIS to make sure that the disc is good or not.

• Portege M400 - Windows XP cannot find the hard drive

  Hello

  Ive got a Portege M400 who im looking to get a new one, I never had the Tablet XP CD so im trying to install using an XP Pro disk, but whenever I get no hard drive can be detected and I tried another disc of publishing house also.

  Ive looked for SCSI / SATA drivers but can only find RAID drivers which are not good for me.

  I hope someone can help me

  Thank you

  Hi wacksonjackson,

  Why these RAID drivers are not good for you? Windows XP requires RAID drivers if your laptop is RAID controller and there is no other choice to install XP from a normal Windows XP disc. Then download the RAID drivers on the official website of Toshiba. Either you create a new installation with the RAID drivers disc using nLite freeware tool or you copy the drivers on an external USB FDD and load them during the installation of XP.

  Also check similar topics here in the forum. You will find hundreds of similar topics on SATA and RAID drivers.

• Satellite Pro U300: Cannot see the HARD drive during the installation of XP

  Due to the restrictions of the network must downgrade the operating system on a new satellite Pro U300. I am unable to run the XP + sp2 cd as it says there is no hard drive installed on the machine. I guess it's because I need 3 scsi drivers or third-party raid.

  Does anyone have these or know a place where I can get my hands on them? Or am I completely off the mark that you have another solution?

  Hello

  You need the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility for the management of your local storage, including the RAID support.

  On the European driver Toshiba page I found Robson tea for Vista package which includes the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility.

  The same can be downloaded from the Intel page for the XP operating system.

  I found this on the page of Intel:
  http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OS FullName = Windows * + XP + Professional & lang = eng & strOSs = 44 & submit = Go %21
