Checking file system on C: the type of the file system is NTFS. Cannot open volume for direct access. Windows has finished checking the disk.

I tried to insert the installation disc, and it relies on the error message that it does not give me an option of chkdsk, or anything else.  When I start from safe mode, the computer hangs on the screen "loading Windows files". Is there something I can do?

Hello

You need a DVD Vista Microsoft, not the manufacturer's recovery disk, to have the options of 'working '.

You can also Boot from it:

    Hi EddieLopezA,

    ·         Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

    ·         You have antivirus software on your computer?

    This problem may occur if another utility or service, for example a virus check program or a program disk monitoring, locked the partition before you try to run the Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe utility.

    I have some steps that may help you.

    Method 1: I suggest you to turn off all third-party applications and check if you have a similar question.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open the start search box, type services.msc and click OK.

    2. in the Services (Local) list scroll the service concerned (for example auditor of virus or disk monitoring tool).

    3. right click on the service and select Properties.

    4. change the startup type to disabled for all applications 3rd - party that could be the cause of the blocking of Chkdsk problem.

    5. click OK/apply.

    6. restart the computer.

    Method 2: If this does not help, try to change the registry value and restart the computer.

    1. click on the start search box, type regedit.

    2. in the Publisher of the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

    \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session manager

    3 change the Boot entry run of:

    autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: (or other)

    TO:

    autocheck autochk *.

    Note: Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  If you want to edit the registry to fix this I urge you to back up your registry before proceeding.

    Thank you

    Hello Mitcherator777,

    You can connect to your computer in normal mode or only in safe mode?

    It would be the best way to run the Chkdsk command:

    1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
    2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
    3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
    4. check your hard disk for errors:
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Let us know the status of your question.

    Thank you

    Marilyn

    Marilyn,

    This problem has been resolved, I contacted Microsoft directly on the phone in the time of September.
    Question has proved to be a dirty disc. as my 1 year limited manufacturer expired warranty, I have since last week bought a new HDD to solve this problem.
    Please examine this issue.

  • The desktop icons and taskbar disappear when windows has finished starting - any of the usual things help

    I have a Windows XP Home Edition with a breath main card computer.  Replaced the Board, PS and other items.  Then re-activated windows and everything was fine.  Until the last moment, I rebooted after activating it.  I have the problem that I have seen posted in a bit.  When Windows has finished initializing all the desktop icons and task bar etc. disappear.  Nothing works.

    I can bring up the Task Manager and manually run programs, etc.

    Believe me when I say I spent reviewing EACH reference to this problem... Yes 5 days and counting... Tried them all.

    I also tried a repair of windows in place which ends without any problem (twice)... but still no icons or taskbar.  I also ran several controls of virus, including one for the virus, which is usually the cause of this problem.  (fsnimda3.exe), I tried all the ideas in another thread (page 9) and many other institutions.  Before I did the reconstruction of the material I've cloned the original hard drive and have used the disc cloned juggling his original for the back.  Even tried to reinstall the old disk and do a comparison of sector by sector, in the case where my cloning process missed something.  In the 30 years I've been in the computer business I have never had a re - format a hard drive to solve a problem.  BUT I think it will break my record.

    I'm doing this as a favor for a friend.  But at this point our friendship is really put to the test

    Hello

    This thread has been created in wrong forum; Microsoft moderation team has moved this thread to the system repair and recovery forum.

  • Information system may not collect information. Unable to access Windows Management Instrumentation software. Management of Windows files can be moved or missing.

    Information system.
    Popular management files moved or missing.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If it does not, then thanks for posting any repetitive error message in Event Viewer on startup (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

I immediately went and checked in the properties to see the current status of the disk, and it says "this device is working properly" I am confused and decided to restart my computer. Again, read the error message and it says that the disc was allowed in properties. Every 15 minutes or so, the same error message.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you very much

    What you see in the drive properties in Device Manager has to do with drivers and the drive configuration, not the real state 'physical' the reader.

    First of all, I error side of caution and if sure you have a backup of all your personal files, data, music, photos, contacts, movies, etc., external media (favorite external hard drive).

    Run the check disk (chkdsk); I suggest to run with two checked options, difficulty of file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    Hello, I created a file .seq with V2013 edit sequence without protection, but this file cannot be opened with the editor spequence of V2014 in another computer and display a dialog below: :-17100 error code

    Is it on two different computers or on the same computer? If it is two different machines, it is possible that your region on your operating system settings are defined differently from the default language to use for non-unicode programs? If so, try setting the TestStand 2014 machine to match the settings of the machine of TestStand 2013. Also, make sure that the Option on the location tab has the same settings to "Recognize multibyte characters" on both machines.

  • support for files with extension .max-cannot open files

    I got a HP with Windows 98 computer.  When I got a newer computer, I downloaded the scanned files of visoiaire scanner on the new computer with windows XP.  Files are associated with the program file extension. MAX.  I'm unable to open files with windows XP.  I'm technically incompentent.  Y at - it a to change extension of files or open with Windows XP?  detailed instructions will be appreciated.

    That's what Filext.com about MAX:

    MAX file type is primarily associated with "PaperPort" of ScanSoft Inc. file: PPPAGEVW. EXE. Also captured by Visioneer Page view. If you have been sent a photo of a person in this format, try using the Viewer. If this does not work for you ask them to send the image in a format, you can display.

    This means that the Visionaire scanner connected to your old Win98 computer has been configured to save the files analyzed in this proprietary format.  The Viewer for this format - pppagevw.exe - no doubt has been installed on the Win98 computer, when the scanner was installed.

  • Problem opening of PDF files (there was an error opening this document. Access denied)

    Hi guys,.

    I understand that I will need to go through all the post before posting anything (and I googled and searched as well) but I really tried everything, they suggested in the mail but nothing works. I tried to reinstall the program it downgrade from version XI to 9. But really nothing works. I can't copy and paste else the file, the file will be having this error message (access denied), but if I copy/paste, it has no problem at all. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Furthermore, I use Window XP Service Pack 3.

    Thank you.

    Indeed, it is a strange thing!  The only difference between copy and paste and cut/paste is not the original file will remain or deleted in the original folder.  There will be no problem of permission using the two methods.

    Depending on your file system, you should be able to see the permissions of files by right-clicking on it, properties, and then select the Security tab.  See also http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/acl_set_per missions.mspx

    How do you open the file by double-clicking on it?  Is that what you can open the file if you open Adobe Reader first, open, and select this file?
