chkdisk-type of file system is NTFS, the volume is dirty, what it means

When I turn on my computer, I see the following: file system to check on C: the type of the file system is NTFS, the volume is dirty.  What does that mean?

A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not be deleted, you could tell XP to check everything just do not.

If the starting XP detects the volume is dirty, it will automatically run the disk with error correction (chkdsk/p) check and try to fix the problems detected.

You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

cmd

Click OK to open a command prompt window.

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

fsutil dirty query C:

The sample output:
Volume c is dirty
Volume C: is dirty

You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do the chkdsk command yourself, 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
Time: 11:25:57
Description:
Checking file system on C:

The type of the file system is NTFS.

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
that you continue.

Windows will now check the disk.

Cleaning of minor inconsistencies on the drive.

4 096 bytes in each allocation unit.
9767512 total allocation on the drive units.
2689780 allocation units available on disk.

Windows has finished checking your disk.
Please wait while your computer restarts.

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.

If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you say XP never check the bit of impurity of a player, but that will not set your fault of potentially hard drive, or he could be the player just needs have chkdsk to run on it for some other recoverable error condition.

A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.

The event log is where you need to look to see what to do about it.

    Thank you

    Hi, Dr.,

    Volumes that contain file system errors are known as Sales. To indicate that a file system problem has occurred and that the volume is dirty, Windows XP Professional displays a message similar to the following when you try to open, delete, or rename a file or folder by using Microsoft Windows Explorer or the command prompt:

    Autochk runs if the volume is marked as modified.

    If the file system has marked the volume as dirty, Autochk runs the Startup Repair process. Volumes are marked as dirty, when the file system detects an error on the volume. If Autochk detects a dirty volume, it provides a delay of 10 seconds, and then starts the repair process. If you cancel Autochk when a volume is dirty, Autochk tries to run again after a 10 second delay every time the computer is restarted.

    See Chkdsk for all the necessary explanations:

    Difference between material FAT & FAT32?

    First, note that there are three varieties of FAT: FAT12, FAT16, and
    FAT32. Many people call just FAT16 FAT, because before that FAT32 is out.
    FAT16 is the only variety used for hard drives, so just
    The FAT was not enough.

    FAT12 (hardly any more used) had a maximum volume size of 12 MB.
    It has been used almost exclusively for floppy disks.

    FAT16 was used on hard disks (or partitions) up to 4 GB and had a
    cluster size which varied from 2 KB to 64 KB, depending on the size of
    the partition. It serves almost never again, because almost nobody does
    a as small as 4 GB partitions.

    FAT32 FAT16 succeeded and has a maximum drive size of 2 TB. His
    maximum file size is 4 GB, which explains why you can't copy a file of 5 GB to
    it. its cluster size is 4 KB up to an 8 GB partition. Beyond 8 GB the
    cluster size develops up to 32 KB.
    NTFS, that's what almost everyone should use on their hard drives
    today. Its maximum volume size is 2 ^ ^ 64-1 and its maximum file size
    16 × 1024 is ^ ^ 6 bytes (much more than the bigger hard drive available
    today). Cluster size is 4 KB, regardless of the size of the volume.

    I have a disk full of files, and it is in the FAT32 file system. As I can't copy large files (5 GB +) in this player, I intend to fix this by changing the file systems.

    Good! You should.

    Apparently, it is not possible to do it without formatting.

    It's not correct. To convert to NTFS, use you the CONVERT
    command. But first read http://www.aumha.org/a/ntfscvt.htm , because
    There is an important question about the size of cluster that is not obvious.

    Also note that conversion is an important step, touching everything on your
    drive. When you take a big step, no matter how unlikely it is
    always possible that something can go wrong. For this reason, there
    careful to make sure that you have a backup of everything you can not afford to
    lose before you start.

    It seems to me that your system file associations are out of step and must be properly configured.

    First, you will need to know what to use to open these files. Then you can Google how to set the file associations for any operating system you have and go and put them in the correct application.

    As to why they are generated, not sure, but not something from Adobe.

  • Difference between file system capacity and the capacity of the disks in Capacity Planner reports

In the evaluation report that comes out of the tool after the analysis, a use of disc section, which lists all the servers for analysis there. A column of this report is directed to file system capacity, another disk capacity. In all cases, the first is less than the latter. What is the exact meaning of these labels?

    Some of the numbers differ substantially between the columns, for example 20 GB for a capacity of 36 GB of disk space for a server and file system. He said that only 20 GB to 36 GB disk is formatted/partitioned to use?

    As previously stated:

    Disk capacity is 36 GB - physically, there are 36 GB of storage.

    File system is logical capacity - the amount of space used by files on the disks.
