• Cannot run chkdsk - Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.

  original title: can I run chkdsk on win xp home, but when I try to use switches, I get cannot lock the current drive. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. HELP PLEASE

  I run chkdsk without switches on win xp home. I told myself I file error and to set running chkdsk with /f. but when I try, I get the cannot lock the drive, chkdsk may not run because ect...  I tried in safe mode, same thing. I sfc/scannow, but it has not fixed the problem files. help please

  It's normal.  You can not run a check disk on your system disk because your system is to use.  The Message you get should ask you if you want to run it at the next reboot.  You must answer 'Yes' to this message, and then restart your computer.  A disk check should take place as it is restarted.

  FYI: A check disk can take hours if you have a large drive or there are a lot of problems on the disc and you cannot use your machine while the scan is in progress.  Better to operate during the night.  Also, I got checkdsk completely erase the hard disk to the point where the only option was to reformat and reinstall Windows.  Make sure that your data available are well-supported before running Chkdsk.

• Cannot run chkdsk and subsequently cannot run the defragmentation

  I'm unable to defragment my hard drive. It is said that there is a regular print run of chkdsk at startup which never works. If I try to run chkdsk /f myself, I get a message that says that the computer is unable to lock the station and that the volume is already used by a different process. Does anyone have a tip?

  Is it possible to run chkdsk or scandisk at startup by pressing a certain button?
  Is there a list of tasks scheduled outside of that Panel?

  Hello

  I assume that you have enabled the service chkdsk under properties of the HARD drive.
  If you have activated the chkdsk in Windows you need to restart the device and after restarting again the blue screen should appear a the chkdsk must begins.

  In my opinion you simply restart your device after the start of the chkdsk command.

• Cannot run chkdsk under Vista or restart

  While Vista is on, volume is in use. Command prompt run as administrator, said volume in use - you want to run chkdsk on reboot - YES. However, chkdsk does not run after a reboot.

  Camden,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Most likely, there is a service or a process that prevents chkdsk from starting when the system restarts.  The best way to fix this is to go to a clean boot by disabling all unnecessary services and then allowing them one by one until the problem occurs. Then you will know what process or service is initially that he will not run.  Likely guilty would be the antivirus software or any third-party disk utilities.  Here's how to do a clean boot:

• Cannot run chkdsk in mode in Windows 7

  Well, it seems a bit odd, but these last weeks even if I try to run the "chkdsk/f/x c:" command in elevated mode it stops immediately after control of the type of volume as follows:

  «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
  Access denied as long as you have enough privileges.
  You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode. »

  The high mode title bar displays command prompt "Administrator: command prompt" and executes the diskpart and sfc commands quite normally, but the only problem is running chkdsk with indicator repair.

  Even the GUI mode chkdsk option denies running chkdsk if repair is checked.

  Tried to Disable Symantec Endpoint 12.1 and Comodo Firewall, but the problem is the same.

  However, I never connected to built in Administrator profile, so today I am logged in as an administrator, windows has set up the office by creating a new profile and from there "chkdsk/f/x c:" works correctly.

  Even more, if I use the following command then also chkdsk runs successfully

  runas / user: computer\Administrator "chkdsk c: /f /x.

  Can you please give me a solution?

  Hi Denise,

  Thank you for you answer and provide a detailed description of the issue. As you said, you had problems with his profile a few months ago, there could be opportunities for corruption in the user account that could have caused this problem.

  Try to fix a corrupted user profile and check if it helps.

  Well, before I ask the question I already checked with a new profile.

  Surprisingly today, after you have installed the Java runtime update a problem. Reasons? Anyone?

• Satellite A660 - cannot run chkdsk

  I have a satellite a660 laptop...
  My first question is about the win7 disk scan

  I chose to do a check disk... and win7 tells me the next time he will perform.
  When the computer restarts, it shows the countdown chkdsk (if I want to cancel) but when the contdown ends... its stuck and don't scan...
  I need to restart once again...
  Any help?

  My next question:
  As far as I know; the mouse pad is multi touch... (enlarge the pictures and rotate images)
  Well, only the function enlarge works.

  I can't return all images... I try to use the picasa software and also tried to rotate the image in bed in the viewer in win 7...

  Any help?

  Thanks :)

  Try to scan the laptop using the CCleaner. Tool that allows to clean the registry and HARD drive for free.

  I m not very well on the touchpad features because there are different A660 with different hardware and different properties.
  If the mentioned touchpad function supports then you should check if it should already be enabled on the system.
  This, to go to the control panel-> mouse-> device-> settings settings tab (maybe the properties).

  In any case, you should find all the options that are supported by the touchpad software.

• Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process

  My computer was working fine until last night. Now when I connect I get a blue screen saying that the computer shuts down to prevent further damage from happening. I tried to restore to an earlier point in time when my computer was working but then I get the error:

  The OS disk (C :) has errors.
  Windows has detected corruption on OS (C :) file system. You should check the drive for errors before you can restore it.

  So I'm going to run the chkdsk utility, and I get the error:
  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts.

  I'm confused because the chkdsk unility usually works, and I have no idea why she is being used by another process. I am clearly not very good with computers. I tend to do a lot of spywear and adwear on my computer. I have Spyware Doctor that removes any infection.

  Help, please. I've tried everything. Thank you.

  Asha22,
  It appears from your last post why chkdsk did not run on reboot and you gave an incorrect message is that you did not a space between the volume and the f number.  The correct syntax is:

  CHKDSK c: /f

  You can also run the utility disc in this way:
  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/bc1393cf-9f9c-79C7-0f91-9337c2c41f811033.mspx

  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
   
  2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
   
  3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

  To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
   
  4. click on start.
   
  Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  Note: If you select automatically errors in file system of fix for a disc that is used (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you will need to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

  The reason that it says that the disk is in use by another process is because it is in use by the operating system (Vista), and that's why it must be run at startup, before the operating system loads fully.

  Another utility, you need to perform is the System File Checker, if you can get your computer to start, either normally or in Mode without failure.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Let us know what these tests are and how we can also provide assistance.

• Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume, because it is write protected.

  I can't get the start menu appears in safe mode then I have botted on a cd with the command prompt and when I type chkdsk/r, so, it gives me "windows cannot run disk checkingo n this volume because it is write protected."  Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

  If you encounter a problem that you need help, follow these steps:

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  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.)

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What you see you don't think you need to see?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

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

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix all the problems.

  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.

  This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  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.

  I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
