• 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.

• CHKDSK will not stop. When re-starting pc it goes back into the chkdsk command. When I try to boot in SafeMode (f8) happening in chkdsk. In addition, the CD/DVD does not work so I can't reinstall XP.

  After installing windows update was the CD/DVD drive on my Dell desktop computer was not recognized.  I downloaded drivers from Dell.  My pc has stopped and went into blue screen mode.  I don't have the error codes.  I got into safe mode and tried to run chkdsk.  Now, it is in a loop constant chkdsk.  It restarts automatically and run chkdsk again.  I interrupt to start safe mode by pressing F8, it gives me all the options of safe mode.  But after I selected one, it goes in chkdsk again and repeat the cycle.  In addition, given that the DVD drive is not recognized I have no way at this point to reload XP.  The only thing that I have access to are 'start-up' and 'set-up '.  I can change these settings, but so far nothing that I changed it helped.  Thank you!!!

  kag187,
  You need to access your BIOS (usually like F2, F10 or Delete at the moment it starts to boot, I must say on the screen).  Then set your boot order to boot with the CD player.  Then boot the XP disk.  If your system is not to see the player you have a hardware problem and nothing did\could from Microsoft, which would cause.  If the BIOS does not see your drive then ck with your OEM manufacturer for a firmware update or a new disk.

  Good luck QQ learn to deal!

• What is this average, Disk Defragmenter has detected that chkdsk command is schduled to run on the volume: (C). Please run chkdsk /f.

  Been trying to run the defrag on my C drive and this message keeps coming up.

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

  Since XP of course already thinking that the volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk when it restarts to try to clear the dirty bit, in order to plan another running chkdsk can not help you much.  Sometimes the auto chkdsk on a reboot will be not only clear things to the top, but you can try it.

  I would like to start in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there you can actually watch and see what happens and decide what to do about this.  When own running chkdsk/r, it clears the dirty bit unless your HARD drive is somewhat distressed.

• Impossible to cancel the chkdsk or starting order

  Because of disk errors, I ran an update to Windows XP Pro in the automatic recovery console, but now it will not complete the boot. It keeps recycling back to chkdsk and I am unable to cancel it.

  There is no disk error more, chkdsk has finished several times and switches it accepts is/p/r.
  I can't access autochk and /k and /x is not available.

  I have no command prompt or access the windows start up what can I do?

  I don't know what that means:

  Looks like the volume (by car) where your XP installed was marked "dirty" and that can happen because of a power failure, abnormal shutdown, restart aborted, etc..  One of these events?

  It sounds like that especially if when you start using safe and your system appears to hang on mup.sys.

  Loading XP, it automatically checks each volume and will automatically run a chkdsk on Sales volumes with error correction.

  Your system is not blocked on mup.sys because it already has loaded--it is hung up on what come after mup.sys and if your volume is marked "dirty", i.e. when XP will run CHKDSK with correction of errors on the volume.  It will look like it is hung on mup.sys, but this isn't the case.

  Most of the time when this happens, Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts' as you give instructions on how to replace your mup.sys, but that is just another of their ideas of wild goose chase that will waste your time for that is not the problem.

  Take a look at your drive access light HARD and if it flashes or you can hear the disc system 'work' then you know that chkdsk is running and do something and that could take a time l-o-n-g depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do.  If this is the case, your best bet is to wait outside and that could take several hours.  Do not interrupt, power down, pull on the plug etc. because that could just make things worse (and be me how you got here in the first place).  You have to wait.

  There is also no command to run, no changes to the registry, or something else that clears the dirty bit (more wild goose chase ideas).  Only a chkdsk with error correction clears the dirty bit, and he cannot do it the first time.  When your system finally ends and boots to the desktop, you can watch the chkdsk log to see what happened and also to check the dirty bit (you can do that from the Recovery Console) and if it is still dirty, chkdsk will run again the next time that you restart the system.

  In these situations, I want to run CHKDSK with the XP Recovery Console error correction so you can look and see what he does and sometimes that's what you have to do, but he might be able to take care of himself, if you allow me.

  There are some things kludgy you could do to work around this problem, but it would be better to let the chkdsk run and difficulty of all what it takes difficulty because he thinks something needs fixing.

  Hello

  1. when exactly you get this error message?
  2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

  Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

• When I opened my computer it always tells me that the file is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility... I searched my computer for "chkdsk utility" and can't find that. Help, please!

  From what you say, you are probably unable to start Windows.

  In this case, when you start the computer, keep tapping the key "F8" on the keyboard until the Advanced menu comes up. Then choose "Safe Mode".

  You will see something like your ordinary, here to enter office "chkdsk volume: /f" (replace with your hard drive volume, in most cases, it's 'c') at the command prompt.

• Windows - corrupt file message, telling me to run the chkdsk utility - does not work

  This is the message I get: "the file or directory C:\System Volume Information\EfaData\SYMEFA. DB-journal is damaged and unreadable.  Please run the chkdsk utility. "When I type chkdsk/f to the command prompt it tells me that it cannot run while windows is open and asks if I want it to work when I reboot.  I say Yes and restart and nothing happens.  What I am doing wrong?

  This is the message I get: "the file or directory C:\System Volume Information\EfaData\SYMEFA. DB-journal is damaged and unreadable.  Please run the chkdsk utility. "When I type chkdsk/f to the command prompt it tells me that it cannot run while windows is open and asks if I want it to work when I reboot.  I say Yes and restart and nothing happens.  What I am doing wrong?

  Two observations:

  1 symefa seems to be linked to something of Norton/Symantec called "Symantec Extended File Attributes" that seems related to Unix file data, so why it is present on a Windows system is a good question. A position I've seen connects it with Norton Internet Security 2010/2011 and suggests that uninstall NIS using theNorton removal tool will solve the problem.

  2. the System Volume Information folder is a folder 'hidden super' which is not normally accessible.  This is where Windows XP stores the system restore points andother information important to the operating system .  I suspect that Norton/Symantec has decided to take advantage of the great hidden nature of this file in order to hide some of his own thing.  You can access the System Volume information as described herehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531 and delete the offending file.  But I would get rid of NIS first and then delete the file.
