• CHKDSK does not work XP is restarted

  After asking running chkdsk, reboot I get the message "can't open the drive for direct access.  I would like to be able to use chkdsk without going to option 2.

  Option 2 is to have an another boot drive and starts to him.  But when asked to select what priming, all first, press F8 and select Safe mode with command prompt.  Then select the other boot.  Which boot 2 get up and go to the command prompt, I can enter > chkdsk c: and settings.  I know that my 1 disc is clean because I used option 2 and completely used /r and /p (it takes about 6 hours) and get no errors.

  CHKDSK does not work because I have more than one startup choice?  It gets confusing?  Is this a bug?

  This update fixes an issue that prevents the running at the start of the system of chkdsk.exe. The problem can occur on systems with an IDE drive, and is discussed in the database Microsoft (KB) Article Q315403. Download now to resolve this issue.

  However, if CHKDSK is scheduled to run when the computer restarts, the binary module that contains the verification code is Autochk.exe, a native Windows program. Because Autochk.exe runs early in the computer startup sequence, Autochk.exe doesn't have the benefit of virtual memory or other Win32 services.

  Autochk.exe generates the same type of text output which generate the Chkdsk.exe utility DLLS. Autochk.exe displays this text during the startup process output and also logs an event in the application event log. The logged event information includes both the output of text like that can get into the event log's data buffer.

  Both Autochk.exe and the verification in the Chkdsk.exe utility DLLS code are based on the same source code, the rest of this article uses the term "CHKDSK" to refer generically to Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe. Similarly, because this article is only about the CHKDSK changes that involve NTFS volumes, any statement that "CHKDSK does" such and such means that "CHKDSK does such and such when CHKDSK runs on an NTFS volume.

• CHKDSK does not work on startup

  On a Win 7 laptop, when I run as administrator, chkdsk c: /f /v /r from the command prompt, it says that the volume is in use, do you want to run the program when the computer reboots.  I answer Yes and told me that it will run when you restart.  When I restart, it of a normal start and does not run chkdsk.  I tried different combinations of settings, but nothing works.  If I run chkdsk without parameters, it works.

  Any suggestions?

• X 64 Vista Home Premium CHKDSK does not end. No errors.

  I am running Vista Home Premium 64-bit and I get chkdsk runs whenever I start. It runs from stage 1 and complete with 9% of total. Then he will begin to step 2 and 55% of total and the program will stop. However, Windows will continue to start. The problem is that when I try a system restore, it fails and says that there is errors on the disk C: (part of Windows). I tried using F8 repair this computer option and get the same results. I bought and OEM "Vista repair disk" which looks exactly like the F8 option and she also does not terminate and the system reports errors on the restore disc. I tried the "right click on the hard drive" with windows to the top one and error-checking and it will plan a more late and ending. I got a call from the OEM Disk Checker 3.3 of the RS Software Lab disc verification program. I can get it to run and report errors, but I can't seem to fix. It will also schedule chkdsk to run pre-launch who did not finish. What can I do else?

• Satellite A500-1GL chkdsk does not

  I test the command chkdsk on an A500-1GL and this has not worked for some time. The laptop has been upgraded to SP1 and is W7 HP.

  I tried chkdsk /f /r C: from the command line as administrator and as this by tools-error checking. But on reboot, nothing happens (i.e. I just get a normal restart).

  Any ideas? I would rather not reinstall or repair if possible.

  What kind of problems you have with your laptop?

• Run the utility Chkdsk does not solve my problem. What should I do next?

  I'm running an Excel 2007 worksheet by using the extensions both on a zip drive .xls and .xlsx.  I tried to open the two files on my PC at work, using Windows XP SP2.  I received the error message that "Excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension is not valid.  Check that the file has not been damaged and that the file extension matches the format of the file. "I ran the utility twice using the following process: desktop > click the drive where the file > properties > tools > check now > will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.  When the disk check process is completed, a dialog box appears that reads "check disk is over."  No exit code was given at the end of each race.

  What should I do now?  BTW, I ran the Recovery Toolbox for Excel.  Read message "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.  Please run the Chkdsk utility."

  Thank you

  Yogi,

  You should always start your own thread, even if you think that your problem is exactly 'the same' as the issue raised by the original question.  After all, if you have had exactly the same problem, you should be able to use exactly the same solution and should not be asked.

  The data retrieved by chkdsk may or may not be usable.  The simplest data - for example, a plain text file - the more likely a file retrieved will be usable by the appropriate application.  More complex data - such as files created by Excel, Word and Powerpoint - may lack the essential elements of the formatting of the data that can make the unopenable file.

  That said, you need to rename a data file retrieved with the extension (3 or 4 characters after the dot) appropriate for the application you want to use with the file.  For example, if you see a file named Dec12Letter.chk, and you know that it is a Word file, rename it to Dec12Letter.doc.

  For Excel files, use .xls and Powerpoint, use. ppt.

  If you are using Office 2007 or 2010, use 4 letter extensions: docx, xlsx, pptx instead.

• Startup time, as CHKDSK does not work

  Diskeeper is a boot time Defrag. The startup message appears indicating that a ckhdsk of starting time was scheduled.
  Upon restart, the chkdsk command did not run. Diskeeper can not defragment until chkdsk runs.

  RickLHad,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  You can run chkdsk manually if you need to run.  This article describes the process: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 if you are having other problems with Diskeeper messages, then you can check with their technical support options.

  Have you tried to run outside of the Windows environment?  If you have an installation DVD that you can start (or an option of startup repair via the F8 Safe Mode screen), try running the command prompt, among the options provided when you walk down the path of the Startup Repair.

  Not to perform the Startup Repair, just search, go to the option to the command line (from to choose a recovery tool dialog box) and try to run Chkdsk from statement.

• ChkDsk does not work properly under Vista

  On Toshiba Satellite laptop computer Windows Vista, I have planned a Check Disk to run after reboot. I checked the two boxes (automacticly repair files and scan/repair bad sectors). I restarted the laptop and he appeared as chkdsk would run ok, because I saw this message:

  checking file system on C:

  The type of ntfs file system

  a disk check was schduled

  Press any key to cancel

  I do not press any key to cancel. But within 5 seconds to start, he said something like: "the disc is OK", then finished checkdisk and restarted windows.

  Why not run a full scan? How can I force it to run a full scan?

  If you don't mind, would you care to try again?

  Use these instructions...

  Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look at the top left, right-click on cmd.exe > click on Run As Administrator > press the Enter key.
  Now, you will see a black and white screen. It's your cmd window.
  At the flashing prompt type this... chkdsk/f/r
  It is preferable that you copy and paste that above the line of command to avoid the misspelling. There is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.

  Press the Enter key.
  The window will say something like... (I'm paraphrasing)... he can't do it now, but it will restart. You want to do, o/n.
  Type 'y' as in Yes > press ENTER.

  Output of cmd window.
  Restart your computer > system will start the disk check.
  It will take a while... a long time. Sit back and wait. Do not turn it off.
  The system will restart when the disk check is complete.

• CHKDSK does not work on startup, even if it was planned.

  I'm looking for some help with a problem of chkdsk. I tried to defrag my hard drive (Windows XP) using system tools like I did before.  I get the message "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume C:.  Please run Chkdsk /f."when I try to do, I get the message «the file system type is NTFS.»  Cannot lock the current drive.  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?

• Win XP chkdsk /f does not work on startup

  Hello

  I saw this answered for Windows 7 and Vista, but not for XP, so I'll give it a go.  I'm running a Lenovo T60 with Windows XP 32-bit SP3, all the Windows updates appropriate have been implemented and Norton 360 as my antivirus and firewall software.

  When I open the command prompt and type chkdsk /f r, I get "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? O/N.  Of course I type Y and press ENTER.  The command prompt tells me that the volume will be checked when I restart the system.

  If I restart the system.  And CHKDSK does not work.  Can I go back to the command prompt and repeat the above procedure, with the same result.  I can never get running CHKDSK.

  Previous discussions said that it had to do with running the command as an administrator.  I am the administrator.  What I am doing wrong?  How can I run CHKDSK /f/r?

  Thanks for your time and your advice.

  Someone please help I was able to do this before, but can't do the job now?  Thank you.

  ACHOIWONG,
  Well, it's system files to discover good good news.  Is probably why chkdsk does not work due to not having permission start upward.  Try to run it from an elevated command prompt:
  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 chkdsk c:/r

  Try and let us know if it works.
  Thank you

• System does not boot after CHKDSK

  Reference Dell 745, XP SP3, fully patched. Had not run CHKDSK in 5 years, machine has been in use, thought it might be a good idea. NOT!

  I plan to CHKDSK/F, he ran at the next startup, then I get the splash screen, then black screen, nothing else. If I turn the power off, the next time you start trying to run CHKDSK again, and if I run it or not, same result - start screen, then nothing. What to do next?

  The machine is in reverse now - here's "the rest of the story" - pressing F8 didn't work, couldn't get into safe mode. Recovery Console is not installed on versions of our company. I was able to get a couple of our Support service for Office XP installation diskettes - only one is bootable and even through, that's for XP SP1 and I have XP SP3, it worked.

  Choose the option to repair install didn't solve the problem at all. Once again starting on the CD, I chose the Recovery Console. At this time, I chose FixBoot and FixMBR. And then when I removed the CD and booted up again, pressing F8 gave me access to the boot with Safe Mode and other options menu. Safe mode does not work - I got nowhere (I don't remember exactly what happened at this point, but it did not help). Which does not finally was the last good Configuration. Once I chose that and rebooted, I had a relatively normal cases, slow start and connection, without the detour by CHKDSK. He has been sluggish about 10 minutes longer than normal, but worked normally since.

  I don't see any reference to CHKDSK saves in my shaft system of the observer of events tools - any suggestions on where I could display them?

  My lesson learned here - if the system is not broken, CHDSK is going to break, so on modern systems, only run CHDSK when you experience the symptoms that you can't otherwise explain. That had been the case at home on a Win7 laptop, which had suddenly slow, with a blurry view near the start icon.  I had been worried about the virus and horses of Trojan, but a suggestion in the forum Win7 on Tek-Tips pushed me to run CHKDSK, who did to solve this problem. It's a relief to be back to normal!

• Why Chkdsk /f. does not I can't use disk defrag because of this error

  Disk defragmentation says to run Chkdsk.  Computer does not recognize that this program will not work

  Hi Peter,.
  Try this:

  System Cleanup

  I would recommend making cleaning systems. (I did do at least once a month, more if I did a lot of Assembly and disassembly) Disk Clean up (best scan-disk) and Defrag.
  To make disk cleanup upward:
  On the left, click on "Start" then "all programs" then "Accessories" then "system tools."
  Here you can see the Disk Clean Up and Disk Defrag
  Click on disk clean up.
  SELECT which drive you want to clean, and then click 'OK' (after the process is over, come back and go to the next drive)
  You will see "calculate" let the work process and a screen will appear that has several folders and boxes beside them... check everything, unless there is something specific in one of the folders that you want to keep. " (Everything here was supposed to delete on its own)
  You see then "total amount of space that you win' click 'OK' and it will ask you if you want to remove files.
  Click Yes and the beginning of the process. Do this for all the partitions on your disk.
  Fragment of disks:
  Do the same above, but select Disk Defragmenter.
  You can see the percentage of your disks are fragmented.
  Then click "Scan now" ending
  Click on "defragment the disk)
  Restart the system.

  Hope this helps,
