Hard drive corruptrices system files

Community Windows greetings

My question is quite another, it seems that many of my system files have be corrupted for no apparent reason, I ran chkdsk on the drive system and it was quite full of corrupted files but chkdsk has not fixed anything, he simply removed the altered files, od Explorer windows itself which now hangs on startup and another file has been altered this time , it was the file causing windows blue screen and attempt a startup repair, but it seems to fix anything because it gets stuck on making repairs to disk and never finished...

If the problem continues to is you may have a failing drive. Download and run the program from web page of the manufacturer of the disk drive diagnostic. It will give you an authoritative report. Check the Device Manager to find his name.

    Hello

    ·         Are you referring to restoring the system or restore to factory setting?

    I suggest you visit the link provided below for more information on system recovery option in Windows Vista.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

    If you are recovering system of built-in hard drive, then you may lose all data on the system but you will not lose the hotmail account as it is stored on the server.

    If you are referring to the system restore option then you will lose all data in the system, but you may lose the application that you installed after the date to which you restored the system

    For more information about system restore, see the below given link

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    In case you're talking about restoring factory setting then you will lose all data on the system and your system would be restored to factory settings.

  • External hard drive for source files

    Windows 7. Body CC x 2014

    I would like to set up a or external hard drives for source files so that I can change my laptop on the location of a specific project (that is to say, I can't use my office)

    What is the best solution?

    * USB 3 SSD

    * USB 3 at 7200 RPM hard drive

    Can I use two external USB 3 drives?

    Can I quote the external drive so that I have no file linking issues?  IE the volume name remains the same whenever I have to reconnect to it?

    * I ask here first of all because I have to buy the appropriate disks until I can test anything.

    Thanx.

    USB3 for SSD is the fastest solution. Set both computers to use the same drive letter of the volume on the port USB3, for example of letter P for portable in disk management. For a second port USB3, you can use a different volume drive letter.

    Simple steps:

    1. Format the drive and give a volume name.
    2. In disk management, assign a drive letter, for example P.
    3. Connect the drive to another computer and repeat step 2 here.

    The volume name remains unchanged and the drive letter remains the same on both computers.

  • hard drive failure, System Restore, now all of my media and documents files are missing, just GONE. all ideas

    I was workiing online, and I started to have problems with ie10, freezes, stop down, and then the entire HDD crashed, any program, file system went. System Restore used to regain control of my computer, but now all my media files, music, photos, everything is over. How can I identify and restore them. Documents open in word, but there is no trace of them in the library files... etc.

    Your hard drive has failed. If she had done this you would have to buy and install a new one, and you would have lost everything.

    If it just crashed and you have used system restore and running to get to the top, then all is not lost, probably... unless the files are damaged by the accident.
    Do a search on your hard drive. To find the word docs using "* .doc" (without the ""). To use "*.mp3" mp3, wmv files use "*.wmv" etc. The asterisk (*) is a wildcard and the search results will include all these files, the research is on your hard drive.
    Make note of their location and then reorganize their or re - point your assets their location.

  • How to restore Toshiba external HARD drive information system?

    I use macbook aluminum. When I insert my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 on my laptop the time machine automatically ask me if I want to use the hard drive as backup. I accidentally said yes and allow him to erase all information from the hard drive and now my only computer can read the disc hard and another laptop / pc can't read.

    As it can store my files, but may not transfer and open on any other computer besides mine.

    So where can I re-download or reinstall back my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB system information (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 so that other computer can read?

    Please help me, bought just for 2 days.

    Hello

    I m not sure but I think to me it s no longer tied to your laptop and has nothing to do with Toshiba. Maybe you use the file system that can be read by other computers (Windows)?

    If you connect to the Windows computer, you can see the disk in disk management?

  • A Portable hard drive operating system compatibility

    I bought a Seagate Expansion Portable hard 3 TB drive and want to transfer the files on my old PC (which uses the operating system WIN XP) on my new PC (which uses the operating system WIN 7). When I connect the camera on my old PC, it is not displayed in "My Computer", but it can be seen under "sensor external hard drive... I followed the suggestion of Seagate to reformat the device in the MBR format but persists above. Is there a way I can connect to my old PC so that I can transfer the data via portable hard drive?

    Did you leave the 1 partition of 3 TB drive?  XP cannot 'see' as large partitions. It can 'see' up to 4 GB.  I would create a second partition 25% larger than the data on the XP machine by reducing the current partition and creating a new.

    The best way to proceed is to use EaseUS partition magic (free)

  • inconvenience is virus HARD drive smart (hidden files/folders)

    My 32 bit Windows Vista computer has pretty much recovered from smart HARD drive virus. Part of the recovery process completed a restoration of the system to a ponit before the virus. Only one annoyance (I know) which is: many files in the folders of my image and Document retain control under hidden. I change my folder look an option to show all hidden folders, but it would be nice to just delete this hidden control. Because I can still see them it's really just a gene and it's kind of a waste of time to go to each property of individual file to change it to delete the selection of hidden. Is there a quick fix that would do just that? or do I just have to live with the inconvenience and rejoice that most important points have been resolved.

  • After you have reinstalled a new hard drive, my system is slower than before

    I have a dv6000 HP Pavilion with Windows vista 32 bit.  My hard drive crashed and we bought and upgraded to a 500 GB.  I reinstalled all my software and update everything, but it seems that it has not been installed correctly (vista).  This is my 2nd hard drive and the 1st time, we have not had any problems.  This time it does not appear that correctly reinstalled Vista.  None of my previous icons came back, I had to do these myself.  My system is "slower" than ever.  Commissioning is slow, clicking in IE is slow.  My system seems to freeze and lock up a lot now then that on the internet or turned off.  Sometimes just clicking on IE or even one of my programs, it takes a very long time to come.  No information has no reinstall my external hard drive, everything here is new and fresh.  I'm just uninstall everything and try everything again.  I am completely frustrated.

    Hi Jan,

    Do you have more details on the hard disk that you purchased? These can be signs that the drive is defective and fails.
    Usually, if a car goes to the failure of your computer behaves strangely. This could be anything to take time abnormally long starting or opening programs to receive errors trying to save files.
    Since how long have you bought the new drive? If he was recently, which means the last month or so, I think it would be better to return it to the store that you bought it and exchange it for a scratch disk.

  • Cloning hard drive SSD - STARTUP FILES ARE GONE

    So I recently bought an SSD to put in my computer with my current hard drive.  I used this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows to clone my hard drive of my ssd.  I was planning on just moving to the ssd (including my os) and then using my drive hard just store files on.  When I followed these steps, he created a "system reserved" disk (D :) on my computer.  I went into the bios and choose my SSD to boot from, but he said that he could not.  Thanks to some research I discovered that the system reserved player will often take startup files.  I was wondering if there is any way I could move the boot system files reserved my ssd drive.  I formatted my original hard drive yet so I think that the boot files should always be out there as well (?).  I have either a windows installation disc.

    How can I transfer my operating system and etc in a bigger hard drive or a different hard drive? Thanks for your help.

    Your original premise says "How can I transfer my operating system and etc in a bigger hard drive or a different hard drive?".

    This means you want to CLONE the old disk (XP operating system and all programs with data files) to a larger capacity drive. This disc would be a hard drive bootable XP OS and retains all data and programs.

    Have you read the link? I'll re-post the concept.

    If you have at least 1 Seagate hard drive, you can use free Seagate Disk Wizard to clone your old drive.

    You can not install Windows 7 on an external drive. Windows 7 requires that install you it on an attached storage device internally. What you can do is to back up your current installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive external. Install a new hard drive, then restore the backup of this drive. To learn more:

  • With the help of a backup on an external hard drive to transfer files to a new computer.

    I recently got a new computer and I need to transfer my files via my new computer. Both computers running Windows 7. I have an external hard drive that has all my files from my old computer on it. I went into the control panel configuration, then system and security, and then in the backup and restore. I then clicked on "select another backup to restore files from" and looked for my external drive. I made sure that it was connected and up-to-date as well. However, he never showed up.

    I would like to manually just transfer the files, but it seems as if there are readers split on this computer for 'BONES' and 'DATA '. For this reason, I'm not sure which car I'd put even files on.

    How can I transfer these files?

    Hello

    I understand that you are having problems with the restoration of the backup files of the external hard drive. Correct me if I misunderstood the question.

    (1) what is the version of Windows 7 is installed on your computer?

    (2) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    (3) you receive an error message when you try to restore?
