• I tried to run Check Disk and get an error message on the completion of the phase 2

  I tried to run Check Disk and get an error message on the completion of the phase 2.

• 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
  Date: 04/08/2010

  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.

  Hi PikaBrian,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  To disable automatic disk checking at the start of Windows through registry, go to the following registry key:

  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 on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  322756 how to back up and restore the registry in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

  In the right pane, double click BootExecute.

  The default value of the key is autocheck autochk *

  * means that each drive is checked for consistency. Just add /K:C to the end before *. /K switch will disable autocheck on C: drive at Windows startup. If the final value should look like this:

  / k: C to autocheck autochk *.

  If you want to add more drives, the key should look like this: (by disabling the drives C and D)

  / k: D / k: C autocheck autochk *.

  If you want to restore all default, just replace the key with the default i.e.

  autocheck autochk *.

• Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks

  Hi, windows 7 Disk Defragmenter problems daily schedule set for all discs, never happens, it sometimes takes weeks. Have a disk busy on the farm that is used for the storage of video surveillance. When I realize the performance issues, I check and find tht 'daily' Setup for MS disk defragmentation is not in fact run every day. I am watching silent movies and waiting for a 500 GB drive to effectively defragment, pass it is on average 1 percent per minute (with any other IO goes on the disc and app collection closed).

  There must be (I hope) a flag I can put to Disk Defragmenter to be more aggressive in its analysis.

  It is Windows 7 64 bit running on AMD processors, disks are sATA plugged in, although there is also a matrix RAID PCI Promise, it's usually when I started Hello I/O on the Board of 2 TB or utilization of the 'C', I realize the lack of defragmentation. I recall, before the SP1 under WIN 7, he ran on a daily basis, in fact, rather than an API algorith "guess".

  System is in place 24 x 7 (I turn off the monitor at the time of sunset), there is no "powersaver" feature used on this particular device. I edited my original question because after many years of support, I realized, by asking the initial question, that I was not providing information that I would be asked a customer, if I was still doing this job.

  Kind regards

  Lorin Boyack

  Hello Lorin,

  There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

  Method 1: He is also a malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

  I suggest you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

  Method 2: The disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

  Delete files using disk cleanup

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Method 3: The disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

  a. open "Computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.

  b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.

  c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.

  d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

   

  Important: While running chkdsk (check disk) hard disk, if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when chkdsk attempts to repair this sector, the data available in this area may be lost, and it is not recoverable.

  (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

  Method 4: Disk Defragmenter may be corrupted, requiring a system restore to fix.

  System restore

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

   

  NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  Method 5: There are other programs that are running this interruption, the built-in Defragmenter. Solution:

  a. close all running programs.

  b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.

  c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and

  d. Select "start Task Manager".

  e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

  Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  If chkdsk/r reports bad sectors, you should replace the disk.

• 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
