How to: run CHKDSK - I have corrupted files

How to do a chkdsk utility. I'm not very good on computors.

Firstly - how are your backups of the stuff that you cherish on this computer?  All files, photos, music, documents, Internet favorites/bookmarks, downloaded programs (installable files) and their product key (serial number) to prove that they are yours, etc. and so on?  You want to make sure that these things are in place course * off * this machine before continuing.  Why run the risk if you can still access them now... Save THEM to an EXTERNAL SUPPORT.  Copy it to a CD/DVD or a USB hard drive.  Drag and drop - all you have to do.

Then, for CHKDSK...

  • Unable to restore my laptop because I have corrupted files.

    Original title: Windows 64 c

    Windows 64 c says I have corrupted files, if I can't restore my laptop to an earlier date. What should I do?

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • How can I run Chkdsk?

    Hello

    I want to defrag my computer so that it runs faster. I know how to do this, but whenever I go to the program he said: he can't defragment it because C:\$Mft file is corrupt, run Chkdsk utility \f.  Well, I think I found the Chkdsk utility. I run it, but it says: warning F parameter is not defined, in read-only mode. So I think I have run the Chkdsk utility, but not really. I will return to defragment and it still gives me the same message. When I search for all files, it does not find this file. When I sought help it says that you need to run Chkdsk with Autochk.exe or \%systemroot%\System32.  I found this file on my hard drive, but it does not work in windows 32 mode. Whatever it is?  Can someone help me figure out how to run Chkdsk, so that I can get rid of the corrupt files and defragging my computer.

    Thank you

    In your message that you type "Chkdsk \f" and the correct method would be "chkdsk /f" with slash for the chkdsk command options.

    This is one of the many articles that can help you understand how works the command chkdsk and how to use it to your advantage.  It is good to know how to do, but it is also good to understand.

    http://vlaurie.com/Computers2/articles/Chkdsk.htm

    If you do a search on Google for:

    XP chkdsk

    You will find several short articles, which you can read in different levels of detail and scope.

    The chkdsk command can only solve the problems when it runs when XP is not completely loaded yet.  It would be on the next boot of XP before XP is fully charged or the XP Recovery Console.

    CHKDSK can only solve the problems when the volume is locked and in what Microsoft calls a "static condition."  Two ways to ensure that you are in a static state is to run chkdsk from the Recovery Console or to schedule a chkdsk to run the next time the system restarts by responding affirmatively to the question:

    Would you want to check this volume to be the next time the system restarts?

    If you run the chkdsk operation includes recovery of errors and control options (if you choose to fix things) and you let chkdsk runs automatically at the next reboot, you may be interested to know what happens if found (results will disappear from the screen when it is finished).

    Here is how to do this.

    When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you have chosen to do it yourself, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log and no problems after running chkdsk.

    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:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001
    Date: 04/08/2010
    Time: 11:25:57
    Description:

    All my drivers are up to date. I'm pretty confident that's not a malware issue. I take care of my line on activities that could infect my computer. Although I'm not 100% that excludes. I use Mcafee security Suite (fully updated and free with my broadband package). No other scanners time real AV are running. I However sometimes use a registry cleaner, after installation and installation of various programs. but I only use the default methods, never the registry COMPLETE cleaning cleaning method. In my view, these could create problems if used files. I also defragment my HARD drive of 1 TB at least once a week.

    I ran sfc/scannow and several times,

    of them. Details are provided in the cbs.log windir\logs\cbs\cbs.log newspaper.

    Tip
    If you get the error that Windows resource protection could not start the Repair Service when you try to run the SFC, then make sure that the Windows Modules Installer service is active and set to Manual.

    Services - Start, Stop and disable in Windows 8

    If SFC is unable to repair the system files corrupted because the Bank (source) is damaged, then you could run the Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command to set the Windows component store corruption and then then try to re-run the SFC scan.

    OPTION ONE

    To run the SFC/SCANNOW command. at startup


    1. open a prompt at startup.

    2 in the command prompt, type diskpart and press ENTER, and then type the size of the list and press ENTER. (see screenshot below)



    3 make Act your boot drive drive letters (ex: 350 MB "System Reserved" partition) and the drive of Windows 8, type Exit , and then press ENTER. (see screenshot above)
    NOTE: If you do not a "system Reserved" partition and are not multi-boot with other operating system, then the boot drive and the drive of Windows 8 may be the same drive letter.

    4 in the command prompt, type the following command and press enter. (see screenshot below)
    NOTE: , You will see a blinking cursor at the prompt to the end. It will take a while to finish running though.

    sfc/scannow damaged = C: \ /offwindir = D:\windows

    Note
    You need to replace the the drive letter of the partition or volume where your Startup system files are stored in the offbootdir = C: part of the order above instead.

    You need to replace the letter of your partition or volume Windows 8 in the offwindir = D: is part of the above command instead.



    5 when the analysis is finished, I hope you will see an everything is ok message as below.


    6 close the command prompt and restart the computer to start Windows 8.

    Note
    If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

    If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

    If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file system occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

    If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the THREE OPTION section below to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

    SECOND OPTION

    To run the SFC/scannow command in Windows 8


    1. open an elevated command prompt in Windows 8.

    2 in the elevated command prompt, type sfc/scannow , and then press enter. (see screenshot below)
    NOTE: It may take some time to complete the race.



    3 when the analysis is finished, I hope you will see that all is ok message as the screenshot below.
    NOTE: Fortunately CFS was able to repair my files automatically damaged system.

    Note
    If SFC could not fix something, then run the new command to see if it can be able to next time. Sometimes, it can take by running the sfc/scannow command 3 times restart the PC after each time completely fix everything what he is capable of.

    If this isn't the case, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any corruption component store, restart the PC later and try the sfc/scannow command.

    If still no, then you could do a Refresh of Windows 8, or run a System Restore using a restore point dated before the wrong file occurred to fix. You may need to repeat doing a restore of the system until you find a restore point that is older that may work.

    If not yet, then you can use the steps in the TIP box in the THREE OPTION section below to manually replace the files SFC could not fix.

    OPTION THREE

    How to see and read that only "CFS" Scan results from CBS. JOURNAL

    NOTE: SFC when is running, it records its actions in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. The steps of this option will show you how to view only specific SFC entries with the [SR] tags in the CBS.log newspaper. This can be useful to show you what files SFC couldn't fix automatically if you want to try and manually change them.

    1. open an elevated command prompt in Windows 8.

    2 in the elevated command prompt, copy and paste the following command and press enter.
    NOTE: This will place a file sfcdetails.txt on your desktop with only the SFC scan details of the results of the CBS. Log in this.

    Code:
    findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt
    
    3 close the elevated command prompt.

    4. open the file on your desktop to see the SFC sfcdetails.txt analysis details in convertible bonds. NEWSPAPER.

    5 when you are finished, you can safely remove the sfcdetails.txt file later if you wish.

    Tip
    If you need to replace a corrupted system file that SFC cannot fix, this will show you how to:

    If you have many files are corrupted, then run Dism/online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to repair any component store corruption, restart the PC after and try the sfc/scannow command.

    If you have only a little, then you could manually extract a new copy directly from your installation of Windows 8 DVD or USB thumb drive, or ISO if file in a virtual machine.

    Do I need a subscription special to run chkdsk these days or something! You get ridiculous with all these permissions in Microsoft file. You're going to have geeksquad running red flower in the face, embarrassed as _ because he cannot understand
    How to run CHKDSK with eleveated privileges. Well I tried and still no luck, embarrassing isn't? It will however run out of system32.
    It does not work from the cmd prompt start menu without elevated privileges. I tried to change the permissions of security and even taking and evolution of the property from the user account created during the installation of RC7, which is be in the users group, not to the Administrators group. Run from the system32 directory it is impossible to specify the /F switch so that it can be run on the next startup. Come on Microsoft, meet... CHKDSK is completely useless, our taken utility... can you imagine past a repair with that call?

    Hi eKrAsh,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    You can click Start, click computer, then right-click on the C: folder (if it is the HARD drive) and click on properties, then click on tools.

    You can click on the button check now in the error checking section to test the CHKDSK command.
    You may have to restart your computer.

    I hope this helps.
