Chkdsk option ' / r '-fact chkdsk does this for all bad sectors?

CHKDSK supports among other things depending on option
/ r means of recovering data from bad sectors

Does chkdsk does this for all the bad sectors, also
for those already known as being bad (listed in the table of bad sectors)?
Or it does this just for the areas recognized as being good?

Is this interesting option only where free disk areas of all files are assumed to
to have bad sectors?
Running chkdsk without / r will search for bad sectors and mark them as areas of disk
occupied by the files?

  • HELP PLEASE! I lost about 400 GB of MP4 (film and audio book) using Chkdsk files. He repaired broken sectors/files regardless, but it changed the extentions. How can I find new extensions? they are there, but I don't know how to find them.

    I have Vista Home Premium. I have a huge media collection for my ipod. I save all my video files and files on an external hard drive (my book 500 GB) audiobook while they clutter up my internal drive and so I can store them where my internal drive has failed somehow... Well I got the opposite happens. I started to get my video files would not open in their records. I ran Chkdsk utility to "fix" the files. When the program has finished running he had a Msg: something has changed the names of files and everything I was supposed to go to the files and the rear switch (as far as I can remember... I don't wear SPECIAL attention for the MSG that I thought it was normal and the program would take me to the files when it was done... ERROR. All desktop shortcuts no longer find files directly by going to my computer, then by looking at the HD I cannot find the files.  I used the program REcuva file hippo and it restores the few files that have been deleted out of the dirve and allowed to see some of the video files and audio books (but no tag info remained on the recovered files. I had to so I would like to know what they rename them). Other than these few files... less than 20 I t help either. Records that they are still there, but it asks me to open files with a program from a list of choices and not of the program draw files. (the choice to choose this high program open this type of file is also blacked out). Also when I run the cursor over the records of the size of the files do not match wat I know should be in the files. But if I just look at the my computer screen and run the cursor over the icon of the letter itself it show that there is 435 + GB hard disk info and 50 + GB of space left on it.
    A few questions:
    1. is it possible to see all the possible msg that the command chkdsk can generate so I can find that he gave me when he fixed my files?
    2 - How can I find these files if I don't know the extensions I'm looking for? they were for quicktime mp4 files, but I don't know now.
    3 - If the drive to my drive internal and try to list the backup files is located on the drive where I'd start trying to open the files?
    4 do I just need to cut my losses and reformat the hard disk, crying over 2 years, he took me to build the library and start over again >? (at least I kept some of my files from itunes library since itune on DVD about 1.5 years ago (about 300 GB of data there))
    And by the way the reader is set up to the FAT 32 format, that I did not know until this all happened.

    Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / View and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.  You should also check the box to see the system and hidden files while you're there.  This should show you the extensions of all files if that is the problem.  You can then rename the files for extensions are associated with a program that will open and read the files (you may need to experiment first with some programs to find one that works and an extension that works if they have been changed).  I don't know any way to do this for all files at once - they will have to be renamed individually (yes - I realize counts the number of files involved, but I know of no program in Vista or even a 3rd party program that will change the extensions for a group of files at a time - you can check for yourself on www.tucows.com and www.download.com).

    Desktop Shortcuts no longer work because either the file type of the source file has changed and the shortcut does not open the file, or because the file has been moved and the shortcut can not find the path.  You should be able to check the path by finding files (whatever they are now called) and see if they are in the same directories in path as they were before this happened.  I think it's because the source file works more correctly because of the extension (or corruption).

    Recuva to recover lost or deleted files - not the files that are on the system (and you won't not solve your problem by deleting them and then use Recuva to recover because it sounds like the problem is with the extensions and Recuva is not going to be able to correct it (it is not part of his program)).

    There's no list of ALL possible messages that might be generated by chkdsk I know.  Here is an article on the chkdsk command works in XP and some messages it generates - but far from everything and nothing look like the one you receive (and it works essentially the same under Vista): http://www.isd518.net/District/TechDir/Help/Chkdsk.htm.

    The backup on your internal hard disk drive will not solve the problem - just move it.  The 'damage' to the files are already done a backup now will not solve anything.  The fact that the drive is set up in format FAT32 is not the question (and probably not the question in the first place is) and change to NTFS now is not going to solve the problem (although you can do that after all this has been resolved).

    I won't tell you to cut your losses - this is a pretty drastic step and there may still be other options (although I don't know myself).  You can take the reader to a recovery expert data (NOT Geek Squad or one of these other major centres to store) which may be able to recover some, most, or all files.  It will be expensive and only you can decide if it's worth the cost.  These people usually the game fee and do not offer a guarantee of recovery - even if they don't recover anything you always pay.  The decision is yours.

    If none of this works, transfer your question in images and videos Forum at: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistapictures/threads where people who specialize in issues related to the video may be able to help with your problem, since it's video files.

  • Trying to fix Chkdsk from freezing to step 5 of 5 during a scan and trying to recover bad sectors and fixing file system errors

    On this afternoon, I ran chkdsk to check and recover bad sectors and solve the system files and then frozen at 43% on step 5 of 5. I left it on through the night and I went to school and came back, she was still at 43%. Then manually shut my computer and since I tried to solve the problem. It was the second time I ran chkdsk on this pc having windows 7 generally run chkdsk every month or so to make sure that everything works well. After that my problem is that I tried so many things that I ran spinrite, I reinstalled windows, I tried to run chkdsk on safe mode, I tried sfc/scannow, and chkdsk/p and all these things has not fixed the problem. CHKDSK/p was the only thing that does not even tried to fix anything because it says invalid parameter. Also when I reinstalled windows 7 on my pc then chkdksk froze to 49% on step 5 of 5.  I even ran diagnostics from the bios and I use Seagate Seatools and two diagnostics says my hard drive is perfectly fine. I also tried running chkdsk in windows 7 cd and for some reason any he completed in less than 2 hours. I then ran chkdsk from the pc and then it froze again it made me think that there must be something wrong with my pc. So I was wondering how can I get chkdsk to complete my PC again once instead of using the windows 7 cd every time.

    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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • What happened to the Save &amp; exit option that was in the previous version? It does not appear in Firefox 4. I used this function all the time.

    The previous version of Firefox has an option "Save and exit" from the pop-up when you exit Firefox. Version 4 does not appear to have that option. PIN tab app is supposed to replace it? I would have two options.

    Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."

    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
    4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning

    If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

    1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
    2. Go to the general Panel
    3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

    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.

  • Can I reduce the size of the pagefile, or does this size for optimal performance of the rig?

    Hi all.

    I recently increased my memory of 4 GB to 12 GB.  I noticed that my pagefile has increased in size that corresponds to the installed memory.  Can I reduce the size of the pagefile, or does this size for optimal performance of the rig.

    See you soon.

    Original title: size of pagefile.

    Swap files are always important. UNIX, Linux, MacOS and Windows all set up to Exchange files and use them. Some applications also require the existence of a file...

    The only people who need to limit the size of pagefile are those whose disk space is very valuable to the critical operations of mission currently running on the computer.

    Do not be fooled into thinking that the loading RAM is the best option, because it's not like people in the above paragraph you would say.

    What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

    You cannot import a project file (.prel) in another.

    For now, generalize choice

    a. export your Timeline (your intro) content to a file saved on the hard drive of the computer. And then import that

    file in new projects by using the new project add Media/files and folders. See publish + Share/computer/and the other

    choices here to generate this file intro for later use in other projects.

    b. you can set up what is called a dummy projects - this is a project with nothing other than the intro file. And, at all times

    you want to use the intro, you open one of these saved dummy projects and add your media sources.

    A lot of things to discuss. Please fill in some details more and then we can refine the answer for your particular situation.
