• User - Auto-Off function after comments "Check disk" for Win 7 & Win 8 is over

  Hello

  Hard disk for error checking and fixing it is a routine system for Office PC network maintenance, if the user is to have performance at all times.

  The last PC has a hard drive of 500 GB to 1 TB size and many files for sanning. If will take about 10-20 minutes to perform the task. Generally it is not recommended to do so due to the timing tight work at office hours. Most of the office user prefer to do after working hours leaving their PC on for scanning. To Win 7 & Win 8 do not have an auto-off function after completion of the task of "Check Disk". The PC must be on during the night after scanning.

  For energy saving, I would suggest a new feature that allows the user to choose to shut down their PC when the task is completed.

  Thank you

  Hey Joe,

  Thanks for the code of your order.

  Can I know how to run this command? I still have to go in my computer > C drive > right click > properties > tool > Check Disk to perform this task?

  I use the desktop PC network in which I am not an administrator, what I'm looking for the assistance of the administrator to create this file in my PC?

  If I want to check the disk with this command, do window 7 / 8 allow me to do?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply. The commands shown above are content to a Windows batch file. You simply create the Windows batch file using Notepad. The steps posted above shows how to create a file Windows specific command and its content. It then saves at a given location. You can then open the Windows created batch file to process orders (content).

  No, it's all just a new file, we create with the .bat extension so that Windows will understand that the file we will create a Windows batch file. Thus, we will be able to run these commands at the command prompt. In DOS, OS/2and also Microsoft Windows, the batch file is the name given to a type of script file, a text file containing a series of commands to be executed by the Shell.
  Unfortunately, chkdsk requires administrator privileges to run correctly. You need to run the command of Windows as Administrator file to run all the commands, but you don't need administrator privileges to create the file. Even check the disc from the properties of the disc requires administrator privileges. You must be the administrator of your operating system, but not the administrator of your network.
  Windows will not prompt you to rerun the command of Windows as Administrator file. Instead, it will show you an error message indicating that you are not an administrator, and the command will not run if the Windows command file, you try to run contains commands that require administrator privileges, and you tried to run the command of Windows under a limited user account file. To avoid this problem, start the batch file to Windows as an administrator to ensure that all commands in the Windows batch file will run correctly.
  The commands shown above will do the following
  • Turn off echo command
  • Scan the drive DriveLetter errors found during the analysis of fixation
  • Shut down the computer after 0 seconds

  Note: to run a particular file as administrator, right click on the file and select run as administrator
  Thank you
  I hope this helps :)

• Satellite A660 - check disk upward on reboot

  every few months where I start or restart my laptop, the check disk starts automatically and takes all day (10 to 12 hours) to perform a disk check! worse yet, it's that I can't interrupt, this means no work that day there.

  I can't work if it is a scheduled task or when the laptop is out of battery when it is 'sleep'.

  did someone have the same problem and if so is it possible to stop what is happening?
  Thank you

  Looks like the hard drive is faulty. You must back up your data and create recovery disks, then test the HARD drive by using a CD bootable as Seagate Seatools for DOS.

  Replace the HARD drive if it is defective and execution of recovery, then put your data.

• Consistency of disk for the startup error message

  When my G580 is booted up an error message produced by saying that my drive should be checked for consistency. However, when it will check disk this does not happen, instead it says to go to the system restore. When I go to the system restore, it is disabled. I have run the check disk from Lenovo and it appears clear. What can I do to remove this message?

  Hi folkfanatic,

  Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.

  Your problem might be similar to this thread from microsoft. Can you try the solution that has been published and see if you still get errors.

• Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

  Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

  That is right.

  First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

  I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

  The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

  Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

  If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

  Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

  A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

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

  fsutil dirty query D:

  The sample output:
  Volume D: is dirty
  Volume D: is not dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001

  The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

  Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

  Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

  If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

  I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.

• Computer runs continuously check disk and automatically goes into power saving mode.

  2 days ago my computer was working fine, then yesterday he wanted to run the check disk at startup upward. Finished, he found no errors and proceeded to vista loading which then stated that he was going to power saving mode, the screen went black and clear screen turned yellow. Now he wants to run the check disk on every restart and ends with her past in power saving mode. I've only got 1 successful start since this all started. I tried to start in safe mode but it freezes. I also tried to boot to the last known configuration but that only prompted an another disk check and ended just as vain as other attempts. The hard drive is only a year so it should not be failing already. I don't know what I should try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Method 1.

  Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

  The correct way to disable CHKDSK to start use the on command chkntfs /x switch in command prompt. The /x switch will exclude a verification by default startup car. If you have drive C: as your hard drive, then the command to disable chkdsk C: drive analysis would be:

  chkntfs /x c:

  If you have 2 drives C and D, you can disable chkdsk with the command below

  chkntfs /x c: d:

  So go ahead and restart.

   

  Method 2. 

  Registry warning

  To do: 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.

  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

  Here are the steps to disable checkdisk at startup.

  1 - click on the 'Start' menu of Windows on the desktop and click on "Search" (Windows Vista or 7).

  2. Type "regedit" in the search box and press 'Enter' to start recording.

  3 - Click on '+' in the folder 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' to develop. Click on the 'SYSTEM' folder and click on the folder "CurrentControlSet". Click on the 'Control' folder and then click on the "Session Manager" folder.

  4 double click on 'BootExecute' on the right pane. You should see the default value of the key defined as autocheck autochk * (with asterisk). The asterisk (*) means that the Windows controls every drive for consistency. Add "/ K:C" at the end of the autocheck autochk * after the addition, the final value should look like this: autocheck autochk / k: C *.

  5 - Click on "file" and click "Exit" to close the damper. Restart your computer. The disk check is no longer lance to the computer startup.

  Method 3.

  After the checkdisk has been disabled, I suggest you to reset the power to the control panel settings and check if that helps.

• Will be Check Disk wipe-out the restore points?

  Vista SP2 on and HP m8000

  If I run the disk check is it existing of smoothing on restore points?

  Thank you

  M.

  Hello

  No, unless there's something wrong with the part the drive on which the Restore Points are
  writing the. He would remove them is possible but unlikely. If you want to see
  If drive a mistake yet not be repaired then run CheckDisk (chkdsk) and
  do not check the option FIX or RECOVER. Checkdisk will then tell you if there
  all errors and where they are. Then, if necessary, and there are errors, you can run
  CheckDisk again with the FIX (/ f) and necessary RECOVERY options (/ r).

  To simply check the drive without affecting it uncheck the boxes here displayed in method 1
  #8 and then no data will be affected if there are any errors found.

• Ran "Check Disk". Windows unbootable.

  I received a newsletter from AOL, which suggests that I run 'Check Disk' to improve the speed of my computer (Dell Inspiron 531 that running Vista Home Premium 32 bit). The program ran through all five steps without problem. Once completed, the computer went to black screen. When I start the computer, I get the logo Dell, microsoft Corp. loading defiler, then it will fail to start Windows. At this point, it goes to a black screen with only the visible mobile mouse cursor. I tried to restart and tried to insert the Vista installation disc that came with my Dell and "Computer repair" running, without result. At the start of attempt a "Startup Repair" appeared indicating that it may restart the computer several times to correct the problem. He ran once rebooted to black screen and I didn't know (or raised) since then.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the

• Is it normal to find errors when running Check Disk manually with Vista?

  For some time my computer would not start without automatically run the disk check. It now starts and works well, but Check Disk find errors every time I have manually run the disk check. Is it normal to find some cluster errors when you run Check Disk? It runs today, he finds and replaced two bad clusters. Two is not much, but I ran as a few days ago. Thanks for any information, that everyone has.

  It would be wise now to test the hard drive. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

• Check disk starts when you start Windows 7

  I just had to install a new hard drive and a message to run the disk check.

  But when he got to the verification of the empty space it was running at a pace that would have taken 3 hours.  I couldn't stop her, so I rebooted.

  When the computer starts up again, it shows a message he must run check disk, to stop it press any within 6 seconds.

  Regardless of the keys on which I push it does not stop, it starts to check entire disk.

  How can I stop it?

  Why did you have to install a new hard drive?

  If chkdsk runs automatically reboot there's a reason - Windows has detected the volume is 'dirty' or a chkdsk was scheduled to run by you on the next reboot.

  It could take a very long time the chkdsk to run (several hours) depending on the size of the volume being checked, the amount of data on the volume, the speed of your system and what the chkdsk finds to do.

  Interruption of the process won't keep it from running again the next time that you restart and can make things worse so it's best to wait outside and let it finish naturally.

  When Windows starts, it checks the "dirty bit" on all volumes to see if a chkdsk with error correction should run and when a volume is dirty Windows will automatically run the command chkdsk with error correction.  The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to let a chkdsk with error correction for do you by running up to the end.

  The dirty bit is adjustable on a volume of an aborted reboot, power failure, abnormal termination, interruption of power supply, using the reset or start button / stop, remove the battery.  One of these events?

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the prompt with administrator privileges.

  Click on the round starting and in the box type the following:

  cmd

  Right-click on cmd.exe and select run as Administrator:

  

  To query the bit of impurity on the C drive, type the following in the command prompt window:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  

  Example of output should be one or the other of:

  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C is NOT dirty

  You should check each of your volumes or each hard disks (C, D, E, etc.).

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window and communicate your results.

  The volume is dirty or not?

  Windows can also run a chkdsk on reboot if you have scheduled one that runs so if this is the case, you can remove that by entering the following command from your command prompt window which will remove all planned chkdsk on all vouma:

  chkntfs /d

  Since this is a secondary drive chkdsk/r can be run without having to reboot.   Close all the programs that can access training and and when you run chkdsk say yes to "remove this volume first...". ».  This will cause no harm.  Although not strictly necessary, I recommend you to reboot once completed the disk check.   This will solve any problem related to the file handles.
  If chkdsk/r reports bad sectors, you should replace the disk.

• Unable to run the check disk due to having to restore the system

  When you start the system, it shows that disk needs the consistency check, but then it shows that the drive can be controlled due to the recent installation so system restore first. Although, when you try to restore the system, it is said there are disk errors that should check and may need repair in which it said restart your computer for this. When the computer is retsarted, it shows that the drive needs verification but still, says system needs to restore. So I can't run a check disk or restore the system. Help, please!

  Hi mustakimahmed,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question. Looks like you are not able to start from desktop due to errors in the disk check and not able to perform the system restore too.

  Try these methods and check:

  Method 1: Run the check disk in windows recovery (winre) mode. Follow these steps:

  (a) open command prompt.

  (b) use the following procedures:

  To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

  Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed: cannot run Chkdsk because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

  Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to fix this particular sector. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

  Method 2:

  If method 1 fails, because you are not able to perform the disk, or restoring the system check, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the hard drive to get help. As the drive that you are using may be corrupted.

  Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions feel free to respond and we would be happy to help.

  Hello

  Which drive you are trying to check for errors?

  Method 1
  I suggest you to run the check disk in safe mode.

  Method 2
  If the steps above fail, then I suggest you to run audit mode of Windows re disk.
