  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

• Most of the problems have been repaired, but now a new.

  I am running Windows XP SP3 on HP Pavilion a708n PC.  A previous issue [July/August 2012] with Chkdsk to run each time you start.  I used cmd prompt and input: chkntfs /X C: and amended the registry key to: autochk k: C *.  I ran Chkdsk 'My - Tools', no problem found.

  I edited the registry key to the default setting.  Everything was going well for about a week, then the "blue screen" starting: "autochk * program not found skipping autocheck.»  I can always run Chkdsk.  I also ran it in the Recovery Console thought that can stop the 'blue screen' message, but he did not.  Now, these last three days, I can't run defrag;  I get this error message: "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume HP_ PAVILION [C:].  Please run Chkdsk /f.' I have done this and still cannot run Defrag - same message opens.

  I know that the file "autochk.exe" is in 4 four files:

  #1) C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$

  C:\WINDOWS\I386 #2)

  (#3) C:\WINDOWS\system32

  (#4) C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

  On each folder click RT., click Open (file) point autochk icon and this message appears: "unable to run autochk.exe in Win 32 Mode."

  Panda Security [apparently] missed a Trojan Virus before that.  PC was not running as usual - very slow start and opening various programs has been slow.

  I have downloaded Microsoft Safety Scanner Utility and it found the Trojan horse which is not respected in Panda scans.  I did a few other "tweeks" as running Sfc/Scannow - no corrupted files have been found. SFC/Cachesize = 50, set and Sfc/Purgecache.  I also removed the two latest .NET Framework Windows updates.  Since I installed these two .NET Framework Updates, run Net Frame repair and everything picked up his old back gear and everything seems to work very well conducted.

  I also uninstalled PandaIS2012, using their uninstall program / Web site by running twice by their instructions by e-mail and installed PandaIS2013.  The SCANINICIO file seems to always stay in [their] registry key, but is no longer start-up with Inicio.  They are the same - they both use the same way to open Inicio.exe.  Panda helped with everything, but now no longer SCANINICIO address in the registry, but not at the start.

  There is a lot of information, but most likely, it has an impact on the question of Defrag/Chkdsk.

  You'll appreciate help that you can give me.

  Thank you all.     Barney Bear

  Your C volume was marked 'dirty' - more than a minute.

  If you are looking for your system to get a XP file you're likely to find in several places - look at your example:

  #1) C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$

  C:\WINDOWS\I386 #2)

  (#3) C:\WINDOWS\system32

  (#4) C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

  #3, that's where the 'good' copy workload of autochk is supposed to be.

  #2 is a copy of autochk shipped with your system of the factory and probably is outdated

  #4 is a copy of autochk got installed when you installed the Service Pack 3 on your system (it should be the same as #3)

  #1 is the backup copy of the original autochk that was made when you installed SP3 if you never uninstall SP 3, which will be handed over (do not uninstall SP3).

  You can see that Elizabeth23 has a copy in the dllcache folder and so, if you, but you will not see that if you do not include the files and folders hidden in your search.  Files in the dllcache folder are backup copies of critical XP system files that are used as spare parts (automatically) whenever a critical file goes missing.

  Elizabeth23 also has one in the cdmcons folder, as it has the installed XP Recovery Console (you can't).

  When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  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.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Therefore, enter commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review or suggestions for changes to the registry to make changes is a waste of time - that is not the problem (make sure Microsoft hired technical support engineers and the 'experts' Forum moderators).

  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 disappear, you can tell XP not to check that and that might mean readers is a failure.

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

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, then you can defragment the volume.

  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

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  Hello

  I suggest to check the drive for errors and then try defragmenting the drive again.

• What is chkdsk /f.? Small happen when I try to defragment, how can I get rid of this?

  When I'm trying to do a disk defragment, I get a message that /f chkdsc.  is planned.  I don't know what it is, how do I get rid of it or go around it, defragment my disk?   Thank you!

  When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

  The sample output:

  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

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

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You will be not also solve this problem by editing your registry database (pay attention technical support engineers and moderators of Forum)-is not 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.

  You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

  This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk.
  These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The type of the file system 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 be
  check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  If there is a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit again), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

  When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

  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:

  eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  A disk check has been programmed.

  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.  Check again the dirty bit.

  If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

  If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

  Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

  so I only need to defragment the HARD disk to run chkdsk and Defrag, or

  I need chkdsk, firstly and then later defragment?

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  original title: Question about defragging?

  The Windows defragmentation program does not any function of chkdsk.

  However, that being said, defrag performs some basic checks of mental health that it moves the files on your disk and if she notices that something is wrong, he will give up and ask to run chkdsk.  CHKDSK with the option/r (repair) can take hours to complete depending on the size of the disk and the amount of corruption, is running before Windows starts completely and can no longer be interrupted... so it is usually performed only when you suspect problems with the disk.

  So if you suspect hard disk problems, then run chkdsk during the night and defragment the next day.  Otherwise, take your chances that your disc is good and just go ahead and perform a defragmentation only, falling back to chkdsk if the defragmentation program is abandoned.

• I can't defragment my hard drive, even though I cancelled the chkdsk command.

  Whenever I have try to defragment my HARD drive, I get the Error Message: Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on this volume (c). Please run Chkdsk/f. I ran, canceled regular for the C: drive, but I still get the same error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter. What else should I do to fix this?

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  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.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  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 disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

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

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  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

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

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

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  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 you need help in doing this, I'm sure a technical support engineer can tell you how, and if not, I'll give you instructions.

• I can't defragment more he says that chkdsk is attached to work on the volume (c) Please run chkdsk/f.

  Why then defrag more.  It says chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume (c), please run chkdsk/f.  What this means, please help.

  Stop and restart Windows. When it restarts, and before you see the desktop, it should run chkdsk. When it has finished its execution errors and fixed everything, the desktop should appear. The computer should work normally. If he does something different or does not operate normally, please post a message to this same thread. Include the exact wording of any error or other messages.

• 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,
  B Eddie

• error defragmenting the Disk Defragmenter has detected Chkdsk/f. is supposed to run on this volume, please run chkdsk

  I'm trying to defrag and I get a message saying ' Disk Defragmenter has detected /f. Chkdsk is supposed to run on this volume, please run Chkdsk.»  How am I suppose to do?

  Use my computer to access the list of HDs. right mouse click on the drive in the list. Choose Properties error checking check now.

  Run the check.

  If the drive that contains Windows, the system will restart and check the disc. After rebooting the system, you can run the Defragmenter.

• How to: run chkdsk/f, so I can run defrag

  When I try to defrage my computer the chkdsk won't let me not in he said to run it do not know where it is or how to get rid of

  Run chkdsk in accordance with the following article.  Specify the /F or/r option if you use a command prompt or click on the two options if you are using the graphical user interface.  He will tell you that he cannot do it now and it will do so at the next reboot.  Click 'Yes' and restart your machine.
