Example: Probook 6555 b: check the disk

I get an error message that I don't have sufficient privileges to run a check disk on my laptop but I'm the only user/administrator on the pc.

How to invoke the chkdsk utility to run on my laptop?

Sorry, you have problems...

Let me suggest a few alternative tools on your hard disk, you can try:

Best free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition free

Free Partition Manager software - Partition Wizard Standard AOMEI

One of these should allow you to do a check on the disc - which essentially invokes CHKDSK.

Good luck

    I was using my MacBook today and it crashed and the dock turned silver, I restarted the mac and it was always the same, then I loaded the disk utility and checked the disk and it says disk is fine.

    Reboot safe mode (it is a slow process):

    -stop of the mac

    -Start up the mac in shift, press and hold until you see appear it to progress bar, so you can let go

  • Solutions error checking the disk and Restore Point, pointing to the other.

    Yesterday, my wife picked up the package of virus Security Suite from somewhere and remove, I picked up an error when the disk check runs at startup. Check disk claims it is an error, check the drive and suggests restore since my last restore point. But when I do this, restore the system claims I have a disk error and I need to run the disk check. Which brings me right to the beginning of this problem.

    I'm running 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, and have enabled the Windows updates. I use AVG and Malware Bytes to protect my system.

    Thank you!

    You can run check disk from safe mode? This is a level of command prompt:
     
    CHKDSK x: /F /R
     
    Where x: is the drive that you control.

  • Check the disk for consistency

    I read messages will this question hide two to five years. I guess my problem is the same: black screen on startup with white 'BACK', writes, "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue. Windows will now check the disk. "What has happened three times in the last two months, and nothing was found in the mess at the end of the audit.

    Responses to previous posts are frankly discouraging - at least for me. I want to know is if this disk check is a signal that all is not well with the computer, or if it's just a gene that will probably calm down. Would it not be in my interest to call a repairman? I'm not interested in venturing into the only registry.

    Thank you.

    There is nothing remarkable or unusual in the chkdsk report, no bad sectors or the reported bad clusters.  Run the utility of diagnosis of the constructor on the drive and see if it reports disk problems, go to the web site of the manufacturer of the drive for the utility.

  • Check the disk recovery image it is stuck at 56%

    I created the Recovery Manager recovery discs and the process stopped at 56% when checking the image of a disk after you create it! I let it sit for more than an hour and he sits up to 56%!  I was wondering should I cancel the process or wait and so if she does not change and I have to cancel I will be able to restart the process or is this my only chance presence it say that you cannot create more than one set of recovery discs!

    my computer is a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook pc windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

    Usually, if the process does not properly complete, you can start no later than. HP can even send a free statement if you tell them that your software is unable to create the whole. Access to worldwide here contact information >

  • Check the disk does not

  • Check the disk does not start if he had to run when you restart the computer.

    I selected automatically fix system errors file and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    I was prompted to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer. 

    However, when I rebooted my computer, nothing happened. No disk check has been performed. I tried tha procedure above a couple of times without success.

    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

  • Check the disk stopped running

    I have a disk check run on my computer after the startup. He stopped at 41% full and seemed to be frozen. I turned off the computer and when I turned it on again, he went to the disk check automatically and is stuck at 41% again. I really just want this disk check. I'm sorry that I tried to do a few "maintenance".

    If the memories are good, you can cancel the disk check if you press a key within 10 seconds after the message that the disk check is scheduled appears on the screen. However, the fact that the system blocks on the disk check can be alarming.
    Check if there is no disk activity hard while the disk check is stuck at 41% (check the HDD LED or any Visual indicator on your box), check if you can hear the work of the disc. Finally, give him time (even an hour or two). Depending on the amount of data and errors do you repair process may take some time.

  • How to check the disk IO in ASM

    Hi all


    I installed the node 2 (10.2.0.4.0) RAC on Enterprise Linux 5.2. I use ASM to manage the storage of the database using EMC SAN (CX 320). I configured the separate LUNS for data files, archive logs, Redo Log by using RAID 1 + 0. Do not use multiple paths currently.

    How can I check the IO activity, hotspots, etc. for instance ASM disk? Also seeking your advice experts monitor the I/O system. Scripts or utilities I can back the cause of high i/o. (Using iostat and oswatcher now, but it is difficult to interpret the results).

    Thank you

    V$ asm_disk querying is an expensive operation like compartive of v$ asm_disk_stat.
