• 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 - 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/f.

  Have windows xp/sp3. You try to run chkdsk/f. Message says system needs to run at next boot. When I do run scan disk only and reports errors found. Promts run me chkdsk/f. I tried this in safe mode, start normally. Same thing happens every time. What should I do?

  Hello terrystephens16

  Go to "Start" "Run" type "msconfig" without the quotes. When the window opens select the first "Général" tab, select "normal startup" click on apply and OK

  Have a look in the Msconfig tab > Boot.ini make sure that ' / SOS ' is disabled in the Startup Options section. If it is checked, then it will cause chkdsk check each time you start.

  If you continue to have the problem with CHKDSK, then a command prompt window (start > all programs > Accessories > prompt)

  At the prompt, type

  CHKNTFS /D (there is a space before /)

  Come in

  Reset

  CHKDSK will run again, but I hope that it will be the last time that he did.

• 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.

  I hope this helps to solve the issue. If you still have the same problem, get back to us. We will be happy to help you.

  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?

  But thank you all for your support.

• 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.

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Let's first try the easy solution.  Click Start, type compatibility in the research field, and click the enter key. This will bring up the resolution of the problems of compatibility of programs.  Click Next and it make a quick check on your machine.  It will ask you to Select the program that you are having problems with, and then click Next.  Click troubleshoot program, then check the box for the program worked in earlier viersions of Windows...  Click Windows 2000 and click on Next. Click on the box for start the program. He will try to open the program as if you were using XP. Once the program is trying to open, click on Next. Now it will ask if it worked for you.  If so, click on Yes, save these settings for this program. If you clicked Yes, every time that you open the program now he opens as if it was running under XP.  That if it worked!

  Sometimes this method does not work.  For these cases, there is a new feature called XP Mode, which will install a virtual machine before you run your program in.  It is not too hard to get set up. It actually installs a copy of Windows XP before you run your program in.   Here's a Microsoft article on how to get it set up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/.  XP mode now works even if you do not have the chip installed for hardware-assisted virtualization technology.

• Satellite A300D - 17G (PSAKCE) - cannot install VAP under Vista x 64

  Hello

  I can't install the package value-added on my laptop. Installation process terminated with error ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE
  I have my BIOS updated to 3.10 - win64, found on the official site and installed the o2micro flash media driver. The flash media driver is for 32-bit vista only, but it is installed without any error.
  So, VAP cant't be installed in any case

  What can I do else?

  UPD: flash media driver - first of all, Ii have installed o2micro native 64-bit driver
  now, I tried a 32-bit driver available on the toshiba site

  Hello

  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and it seems that, for your laptop model (PSAKCE), no driver Vista x 64 is available and you have the drivers for the other models A300D but normally it shouldn't be a problem. There is no significant material differences.

  In any case, before installing the VAP mark sure you t have any yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager and SP1 for Vista should be installed!

  Also, why did you install the 32-bit driver for the card reader? Have you had problems with the 64-bit driver?

• 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.

  Error message "WIndows cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer.

  I am currently using windows 32 bit vist

  I rebooted, I changed the settings, I don't have a file called window update service in the service section to stop and start, I tried the fix programs, I'm out of ideas and I need help!

  Suggestions?

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  2. which antivirus app do you use?

  I suggest you try these methods and check.

  Method 1:

  Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

  Disable the antivirus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2:
  How to reset the Windows Update components?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

  Method 3: If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

  Follow these steps:

  a. click the Start button, click computer.

  b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log
  Where 'C' is the drive of operating system
  c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.
