• CHKDSK problems: I think I did a bad thing

  Hello

  I think that I did a terrible thing and wonder if there is anyway I can fix.

  My laptop HARD drive has failed. Bad sectors, etc. I managed to copy my most vital data from the first system (I'm stupid but not super stupid).

  At this time, I tried to use CHKDSK to try to fix it enough to get 100% of my files out of it.  However, my stupid laptop would proceed not CHKDSK at startup. He auto-annulé immediately.

  Be 'smart' I changed chkntfs to 0 so it could not be canceled! (I'm sure you know where this is going)

  CHKDSK runs, but she gets stuck.  He completed the phase 3, but BEFORE the 4th stage starts, it crashes on stage "the USN journal verification".

  The only way out is a hard reset, that is not super helpful because at the start, it runs chkdsk again!

  Any advice?  I tried to boot from CD/USB/whatever, but since all start triggers the CHKDSK I got trapped.

  I would like to have access to the machine to try to get a few last files out of it, but worry now that the only way that will happen is with the help of (expensive) professionals.

  Thank you

• CHKDSK problem or hard drive failure?

  Initial post:

  Hello, I may be in the wrong place, so you can direct me to where I can ask my question.

  Just got back from vacation 2 weeks and my wife discovered she began to receive some kind of message "error." I discovered that whenever the computer is turned on, it now tells me to run the chkdsk utility. As usual, it takes several minutes to perform his task. Nothing wrong is indicated, then it starts normally. Next time that the computer is turned on, same cycle. It's never happened before. Last night, I ran across 6 startups with the same results.

  The system is Win7. Computer was built with all new interiors in Dec of 2013.

  I'm reading through some of the posts here but I'm a bit confused on what to do or how. Is there something wrong that might have recently caused it to start? (I ask this question because my wife has used to be around computers and electronics, when things start to get weird)

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you.

  Concern for follow-up:

  I've been playing with some of the initial proposals offered to try to circumvent this problem without success.

  I found out from the following: I can't do a "System Restore" that I get some response suggesting a 'corrupt C drive '.

  And, while I was out of town, a parent of a young visitor has apparently downloaded a game program without my knowledge.

  I tried to do a safe Boot and get to the window displaying the downloaded windows files. At the bottom of the screen, it tells me to "Please wait:.» After about 6-7 minutes, the machine restarts by itself and seems to start successfully to the blue welcome page. However, after closing everything down and restart again once, I still get the chkdsk 'needs to run... '. "once again. I don't play this step correctly?

  I noticed just a few posts here regarding the possible comments "hard drive is running out." Any relationship or similarity with what I can see from the "System Restore" also noted a possible C drive problem?

  The C drive is a WD 2 GB device installed new in Oct of 2013, so I'm surprised if it's bad already... but these things happen.  Help!

  Correct intuition of zig - zag that the hard drive has failed. Your drive is a failure, can be fixed by you and must be replaced.

  Follow its says on the backup of your important data as the car is still under warranty and should be returned for a replacement: http://support.wdc.com/warranty/

  When you receive your replacement meter test using these two utilities:

  (1) WD utility: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=611&sid=30&lang=en

  (2) HD Tune: http://www.hdtune.com/

  (3) pass marks burn in test: http://www.passmark.com/
  Burnin test, and their test bench at the same time give a good workout from all the major parts of Windows.

  The paid versions of HD tune and PassMark are worth the investment as the two are testing the drive completely.

  Note: When each of the 3 test above is complete check the SMART values for any signs of deterioration.

• Disorder of CHKDSK Scandisk in XP

  After you delete a large number of files on my X 61 to 100 GB with XP Pro, I have a defrag may be in order. However Diskeeper Lite has indicated that "the CHKDSK command is attached to work on the preload (C". ")" Restart the machine to run CHKDSK gave error C: could not be mounted because it was in use. ScanDisk gives the same problem at startup. So I'm now stuck in an infinite loop where defrag cannot be done because chkdsk cannot be run. Either by the way, the HARD disk, control of routine in the Bios indicates the drive is in great shape.

  This seems to be a common problem in XP, but I find no answer to the question. Anyone here has a solution before you reinstall Windows (suggested by support Lenovo BTW).

  I tried several times. No luck. However I solved at the time of running chkdsk problem and obtained at least. I ran msconfig and went to the boot.ini tab and set the system to boot in safe mode. CHKDSK runs allowed. He found a few minor errors. To restart, I was able to run the defrag program.

• Re: Satellite Pro L - Eventviewer displays HARD disk controller error

  I've had problems for at least two months, with slowing down, freezing same blueys etc. and eventviewer tells me that I have a HARD disk controller error. Now when I check the device it tells me - as do the dealers - work correctly, but after a chkdsk problem erases only coming later. My Toshiba characteristic of diagnosis does not work so I can't check without the use of a third-party application which I am very reluctant to do.

  I am now lost for what to do given my position of dealers who fell to something I've done / downloaded etc. All the world has any ideas on how I can get my diag back function or other than eventviewer / chkdsk to identify what's wrong?

  The machine is only 10 months with 500HDD core i5, 4 GB of RAM under Windows 7 Professional and Kasersky Pure as my ISS. I use it for general use at home and the little that is worrrying me is that even though my previous Toshiba had a HARD drive crash and had to be replaced - I might have to do a factory default or worse go format and just load a new OS on or get the drive HARD replaced at my expense ($450 last time). The drive is a Toshiba MK5055GSX and looking around locally can not see where we could be contained--if I have to.

  It has become a nightmare, and even if I took an additional guarantee that feeling of time will run out before that I get something on this subject.
  Any help would be so appreciated.

  Hi johndragon46,

  I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but the fact is if the Eventviewer indicates an error of HARD disk controller it can be both: HARD drive itself or HDD motherboard controller.

  You wrote that your laptop is only 10 months old then why n t contact you authorized service provider? Your laptop should still be under warranty and that means an ASP can fix your computer laptop free time guaranteed.

  By the way: list of authorized service providers, you can find on the official website of Toshiba

  Good luck! :)

• Just after I turn on the laptop (before that turns on Vista) I get "cannot open volume for direct access.

  Just after I turn on the laptop (before Windows Vista turns on) the following message appears "cannot open volume for direct access.  What this mean and how can it be solved?

  Thank you

  Eddie

  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.

• I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me I have problems with the file system, usn journal. ___

  I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me that I have problems with the sys file. I ran CHKDSK/F, it is said it fixed the problem but I ran CHKDSK again and it shows that the same listed the issues.

  Describe how you run chkdsk.

  That is what the report said: you have problems with the sys file?

  CHKDSK examines the disk space and use of the disk for the table of allocation of files (FAT) and NTFS file systems. CHKDSK provides information specific to each file system in a situation report. The report shows the errors found in the file system. If you run chkdsk without the /f on an active partition command line option, it can report errors because it cannot lock the drive. You should use chkdsk occasionally on each disk to check for errors.

  If you run chkdsk from a command prompt while Windows is running, it can report errors or it may not report errors - and it may report different
  Errors each time you run.  If this is the case, it could just be the way you run chkdsk.

  Here's how Microsoft explains this observation:

  "... CHKDSK may report that the disc is damaged, even when there is no
  current real corruption. This can happen if NTFS happens to modify
  areas of the disc on behalf of some programme activities that CHKDSK is
  review at the same time. To check a volume correctly, the volume
  must be in a static state, and the only way to ensure that the State is
  to lock the volume. CHKDSK only locks the volume when /F or/r (which
  involves the 'F') is specified. For example, you may need to run CHKDSK more than
  time so that it can complete all the steps in read-only mode. »

  If you run chkdsk from a command prompt, you are not the necessary static state and you can encounter errors "when no real corruption is present. This is how it works when you use this way.  Any changes made to a NTFS file system modifies the USN Journal.  If you are not in a static state, your USN change Journal probably all the time, so what you see (says something like that) can be quite normal.

  Two ways to ensure that you are in a static state is to run chkdsk from the Recovery Console or to schedule a chkdsk to run the next time that the system
  Restart by answering Yes to the question:

  Would you want to check this volume to be the next time the system restarts?

  If chkdsk reports errors when running in a static state, the errors should be investigated, resolved or explained.  This may take several
  chkdsk runs all of the issues and some problems cannot be resolved by chkdsk.

  If chkdsk runs the next time the system is restarted, the activity and the result will be displayed in the application event log.  Look in the Application log for
  Winlogon events and a source have the date and the duration nearby time chkdsk.

  It is in fact a chkdsk additional reading if you want to learn about it and it will explain everything you see and why your expectations exceed reality.

  Please vote my posts as helpful so I can get a lot of points. I'm saving for a pony!

• Can you help me? I have run chkdsk, as no problem noted, but player says corrupted and can not run defragmentation.

  Problems to run defrag. In Windows XP or back tells me c is corrupted and running chkdsk.  Running chkdsk does identify a problem, but I can't always run defrag.  Tried several times, but no luck. Help welcome!

  try using the /r switch when you perform the chkdsk command, it will be bad repairs secotrs and look for readable info:

  from the command, type Echo Y | chkdsk C: /r

  Restart the computer with the / r switch instead of chkdsk will be 5 steps, it will take a while.

• I ran chkdsk on win xp, but this is not correct mistakes so what I need to be able fixed all problems if I run chkdsk

  I know how to run the chkdsk command on win xp than what I use, but it seems to do nothing

  Maybe I need an update or something to do with win xp if the chkdsk command will clean all the problems and corrects errors.
  any suggestions?

  Check the drive does not remove the malware. Be specific about the errors. What is? Without telling us exactly what are the errors are presented, we can offer you assistance.

• 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.

  You can also consult: http://www.ericphelps.com/uncheck/ or other utilities of this research: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=recovering+files+from+chk+files

• What to do about CHKDSK message "volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems".

  My XP Home just quit starting all along.  Previoously before leaving he would do a CHKDSK scan and then go over to start.  Now, it closes a few seconds after the Windows screen comes up with the dots that runs through.  The Windows image stays on the screen, but nothing else happens.  I put in my XP disk to run the repair and got at the C:\Windows prompt after all the various commands of the finish.  Then I typed CHKDSK and Enter.  The first time that CHKDSK has stopped 38% full.  The 2nd time it finished and gave me the error message: "volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems".

  I sure would appreciate it if someone can suggest my next move to get XP running back?

• ChkDsk cause more problems than good

  Hello

  It is always advisable to not run Chkdsk (Via Windows 7)? Can it do more harm than good, if you don't know what you're doing :-)

  I keep getting error 41 and I was told it's because of the hard drive, but ChkDsk showed no problems.

  Hello

  No, not particularly. It depends entirely on the settings/flags that use you as well, but in general, if chkdsk is unable to solve problems, it means that your drive is gone too well. For example, if you run/r to locate bad sectors and recover readable information (implies / f with the addition of the analysis of the physical errors), and he notes, he cannot solve, etc, you should at this time save all data and replace the drive ASAP.

  I wouldn't be so quick to judge a player, some people blame readers simply because they are not aware of what it may be.

  To help you, we will need for the. DMP files to analyze what exactly happened at the time of the accident, etc.

  If you do not know where. The DMP files, here's how to get to them are:

  1. go to the folder % systemroot%\Minidump.

  2 copy all the DMP files in the Minidump folder on your desktop and zip then those files.

  3. download the zip containing the. Files DMP Onedrive or a Web hosting of your choice and paste it in your answer. Favorite sites: Onedrive, Mediafire, Dropbox, etc.. Nothing to do with the timers waiting, download managers, etc.

  4 (optional): The type of. DMP files in the Minidump folder are known as small images of memory. In any % there will be what we call a kernel image (if your system is configured to generate). It is labeled MEMORY. DMP. The difference between the small images of memory and core-dumps in the simplest definition is that a kernel image contains much more information at the time of the accident, which allows more debugging of your question. If your upload speed and you're not going against any strict caps bandwidth and/or use, etc., the kernel image is the best choice. Note that the core-dumps are much larger in size due to containing much more information, that's why I mentioned the download speed, etc..

  If you plan to use Onedrive but don't know how to download it, please see the following:

  Download pictures and files to Onedrive.

  After doing this, to learn how to share the link to the file if you are not aware, please visit the following link - share files and folders and change the permissions and view 'Get link'.

  Please note that all programs "cleaner" such as TuneUpUtilities, CCleaner, etc., default will remove. DMP files after use. That said, if you run this software, you will need to allow the system to block one more time to generate a crash dump.

  If your computer does. DMP files, follow these steps:

  1. start > type systemroot which should show the Windows folder, click it. Once inside this folder, make sure there is a Minidump folder created. If not, CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new folder and name it Minidump.

  2 Windows key + Pause key. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > performance > settings > advanced > make sure there is a check mark for "manage automatically the size of pagefile for all readers."

  3 Windows key + Pause key. This should appear in the system. Click Advanced on the left system settings > advanced > startup and Recovery > settings > system > ensure there is a check mark next to "write an event to the system log.

  Make sure Small Memory Dump is selected and ensure that the path is % systemroot%\Minidump.

  4. ensure that viewers is ENABLED:

  Start > Search > type services.msc > on the name tab, search for Windows Error Reporting Service > if the service status is not started, then right-click and select start. Also to ensure that, under Startup Type set to automatic rather than manual. You can do this by right click, select properties and under general selection on 'Automatic' startup type and then click on apply.

  If you can not get into normal mode to do this, please do so via Safe Mode.

  Kind regards

  Patrick
