How do run you chkdsk /f. _

I am trying to run disk defragmentation and get a red message X saying that dskchk is expected to run on the volume, Rundskchk, f.

I recently installed spybot and anti-virus / anti-spyware on security (free from my ISP provider... CA Mediacom)
I've never had this problem before

Strmnnrm,

Please, try the following:

1. click on Start, then run.

2. in Open, type cmdand then press ENTER.

3. use the following procedure:

To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume:/f, and then press ENTER.

Note If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type there, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

  • How can I stop CHKDSK from running on startup?

    CHKDSK turned on somehow and now every time I start my Pc it runs this program.  It is on my hard drive and takes a long time to startup!  How can I stop the program from running at startup?

    The next time your system starts and installs, you should check the bit of impurity of the volume as follows:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    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

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    Is your disc dirty or it is not dirty?    If you have more than one volume, check all out them.

    A volume is marked usually dirty of a power outage or something like using the power button to restart the system.  One of this kind of thing has happened before this problem?

    The command chkntfs /d to clear a chkdsk waiting you plan yourself, but it does not clear the dirty bit.

    The command chkntfs /X C: never say XP check the reader for inconsistencies again and perhaps not a good idea since the reader may really need that chkdsk to run on it.  If the dirty bit is just NOT clear, no matter what you do, your HARD disk may be failing / failed.

    The only way to clear the dirty bit is a success of chkdsk /r and if she will not clear at the start of your system, I would run it from the XP Recovery Console so you can watch it run and if you like, run it again until it runs its own.  You cannot check the good bit of impurity of the XP Recovery Console, but you can see what chkdsk/r.

    Since we don't know anything about your system, here are some instructions for making a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and from there, you can run chkdsk/r until it comes clean.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is 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.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

    Courtesy of JoseIbarra

    You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

    Here's how:

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

  • The file or directory to _ is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.

    Since a few days ago, I started having these notifications tray for two specific instant messaging programs, I am running on a daily basis:

    There is no problem at all with the two programs - they run flawlessly, as they have always done.

    but I have no idea what causes these notifications to pop up - something must be wrong

    So I was trying to run Chkdsk, the message said, opening cmd as administrator, then "chkdsk /f c:" but then I get this error:

    I did restart and wait that chkdsk is running just after start-up but then:

    How this can be resolved without having to reinstall windows?

    If you have the system file corruption, you are probably at the end of the rope - so to speak.  Try to rerun the SFC.  Sometimes a 2nd or even 3rd run corrects corruption.

    Try the system restore.  It can solve your problem if she wasn't there too long.  Usually, it is best to do the restore from SafeMode (F8 at startup)

    Much more likely, you will need to re - build.  Choice:

    1 restore the partition from the factory

    2. any re - install a Win7 disc

    3. implement non-destructive install

    If I were in your shoes, I would like to re - install Windows 7.  It's a tedious process - may 6 to 12 hours passed depending on the speed of your Internet connection and your computer, and it has the amount of memory.  Such a process will lead you to a purely clean and absolutely pristine system that will have significantly improved performance.

    First back up your data, but do something.  Windows Easy Transfer can create a file for a later transfer. For this, use a large external hard drive.

    Now find the software tester training from the manufacturer of your hard drive.  Run three tests to ensure you have a reliable hard drive before starting this process.  It may take a few hours, but I wouldn't do that until this, and you're confident.  If necessary, replace the hard drive - not a particularly expensive or difficult process.

    Choice 1: If your computer came with a factory restore partition, restore that.  Learn how to access the factory restore partition.  It is likely to be found using F8 during the startup of the existing system.

    According to what you have purchased, you must then many UN-installing of unwanted programs.  Don't let no one antivirus or internet security system installs until you are at the end of this process - the last thing you do.  Also do not put a password on your computer until you have completely finished.  If the antivirus or Internet security is installed in this choice 1, uninstall it.  Now start Windows Update, but first change so that it will give you all the updates Microsoft, not only Windows ones. There are probably hundreds of them and it will take hours, but you don't have to watch it.  There will be several rounds of updates.  Keep the new verification updated to what there not.

    Now, install your applications, but only the most immutable stable, for example Microsoft Office.  You can have a few more rounds of updates after that.  Do a Defrag.  No data yet.

    Then take a step that almost nobody does, but if you are already in a similar situation, even once, you'll thank yourself for making.  Create a system image using the Maintenance until the restoration.  Use of the DVD - from 2 to 4.  It will take nearly an hour, but when you are finished, you will have a DVD set that can be used to restore the system to this account or a new drive is precisely what you have so far.  While you're at home spend 5 minutes and create a CD repair system Windows7.

    Of course, after that, you can add your volatile applications such as Flash Player, etc..  Then run Windows Easy Transfer to retrieve all your data and settings.  It's positively amazing how it works, you will find that you won't see a difference with before except that it will be incredibly faster.

    Choice 2: Fact, I prefer this option. Use an original DVD of Microsoft Windows 7, preferably Service Pack 1. It can be any DVD of Windows 7 to the same variety of product - for example the publishing house and 32 or 64 bit depending on your system.   Make sure you have the key of Activation for Microsoft Windows written down.   The only downside to this option is that it is possible but not likely that you might have to find a driver.  This doesn't happen often because even the drivers that the Windows 7 installation process itself does not, will be probably provided in your first pass of Windows Update. Once you get the Windows installation, everything above will be the same.

    Choice 3:  Follow this link for a good description of how to do

    http://WindowsSecrets.com/top-story/WIN7S-no-reformat-nondestructive-reinstall/   This choice will require a lot of time to Windows updates as well.

    Notes:

    I will not work on a computer with ANY Internet security product in this regard.  Everything you want or need is an antivirus product.  The other stuff that is part of their packages don't you will that cause problems.

    Intel has a utility to update driver (assuming that yours is Intel based) which is absolutely excellent.

    You don't need a disc burner program.  Windows had built.

    After you're done create a restore point.
