I try a checkdisk

I try a checkdisk and get the message "Windows cannot check the drive while it is in use." Try to initialize checkdisk at startup (as advised by message). I get the message that "checkdisk cannot run because of recently installed software. Restoration and earlier version. "I have this and get the same messages. Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

From descriptions of the question, it seems that you are unable to run the check disk in your computer.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll help you fix the problem.

I see that you have after most of the troubleshooting steps to perform the disk check and are still unable to do so, but I suggest you to check the disk in the command prompt by using the Windows recovery environment (WinRE) to diagnose and solve problems from the link below.

What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows7/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

Run the commands below

a. run Chkdsk in command prompt with administrative rights.

b. CHKDSK x: /F /R (this command will perform a complete analysis (including bad sectors) and an attempt to remedy)

 

Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

For reference:

I hope that the information above helps you.

Your response is very important for us to ensure a proper resolution.

In the future if you fall on any question relating to Windows, please do not hesitate to post your request here on Microsoft Community, we will be more than happy to help you.

    Hello

    This error may be coming because of unavailable storage required for the motherboard drivers. You can follow the steps one by one, mentioned below and check if that helps.

    Method 1: Uninstall, and then reconnect the external hard drive. This method solves the problems where the currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable.

    1. Click Start, type Device Manager in the box Search
    2. Click Device Manager in the returned list.
    3. Click disk drives in the list of hardware
    4. Right click on the USB external hard drive with the question and click Uninstall.
    5. Once the hard drive is uninstalled, disconnect the USB cable.
    6. Wait 1 minute and then reconnect the USB cable. The driver should load automatically
    7. Look for the USB key in Windows Explorer

    Note: Connection of your USB external hard drive to a non powered USB hub can cause a lack of sufficient power to operate the external drive. Instead, plug it directly into your computer.

    Method 2: Install the latest Windows updates.

    This method will install the latest drivers for your external hard drive USB device.

    1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
    2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
    3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
    4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
    6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

    If your problem still exists, go to method 3.

    Method 3: Reinstall the USB controllers. This method addresses the steps where the USB driver currently loaded became unstable or corrupted.

    1. Click Start, type device in the area Manager Search , and then click Device Manager.
    2. Expand Bus USB controllers. Right click on a device, and then click Uninstall. Repeat for each device.
    3. When finished, restart your computer. Your USB controllers will automatically install.

    1. Click the Start button, type power management in the search box, and then click choose a power plan.
    2. Next to your currently selected plan, click Change Plan settings.
    3. Click change advanced power settings.
    4. Click in the box USBsettings, and then expand the USB selective suspend settings.
    5. Click on the area, and then click the menu drop down and select disabled.
    6. If you use a laptop, click the cell, and then click the menu drop down and select disabled.
    7. Click apply, and then click OK.

    If this does not resolve your issue, go to method 5.

    Method 5: Install the latest drivers for your motherboard chipset. This method updates the chipset of your motherboard drivers, so that your computer will use your external USB hard drive.

  • BSOD everytime I try to install updates on newly installed windows 7 64-bit on the computer newly built

    just built a computer a week 7 there and installed.  my computer currently has no installed updates.  whenever I try to install updates (one of them) I get the bsod and need to restore several times, computer works fine until I turn it off.

    the screen will change resolution 1280 x 1024 at ~ 600 x 800 for about five seconds then bluescreen when it spoil.
    my initial error code: 100007e.
    0000005,4843518, 3c3c628, 3c3be80.  any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Drivers of suspects, including video, BIOS, drivers ChipSet at low altitude, antivirus and anitspyware/safety programs
    and hardware issues including such as bad sitting cards, memory problems and wiring. Power supply
    is a real possibility. Are the updates of Windows he chokes on driver updates - if so right click on
    These and HIDE?

    When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
    update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

    1000007E and 0000007E are the same

    Cause

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. To interpret it, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0 x 80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.
    • 0 x 80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERTION was met when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.
    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in the directory Inc. of the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the address of the exception) should identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system was launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly, make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

    In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Ensure that any new hardware that is installed is listed in the list of the products tested Microsoft Windows market.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A chauffeur service or defective peripheral system could be responsible for this error. The hardware problems, such as BIOS incompatibilities, conflicts of memory and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use Safe Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the start-up procedure of the system Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third-party remote control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the service by starting the computer by using the recovery and then Console by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the device or driver responsible for control of bug 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You must also run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system. For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or after installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and the system BIOS incompatibilities. For any problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with lack of disk space, reduce the number of files on the hard disk drive target. Search and delete temporary files that you do not have to have, files hidden Internet, application backup files and files saved .chk , which contain fragments of files on disk scans. You can also use an another hard disk drive with more free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

    =====================================================

    This solving generic problems but it should help you resolve the issue however remember them ALL
    This new material is very suspicious.

    Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.

  • How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    Hello, welcome.

    The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
    For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
    For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
    1. click on START > run
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN
    5. click on START > run
    6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    7. type chkdsk /r and press enter
    8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume
    9. allow the system to plan restarting
    10. restart your computer
    11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive
    12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine
    13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

    Let us know what happens

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Let us know if you do not see this option in the Advanced Boot Options menu.

    You will not get far if you can't start something, so if you have a CD/DVD player, do you have a bootable XP Recovery Console in order to have room for manoeuvre, boot on the CD, run chkdsk /r and then you can start solving the problem (instructions below).

    You are once started in the Console recovery XP and after running chkdsk/r, then you will be able to see if KB324764 will help you.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    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 may have come to a store to purchase the system.

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

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    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.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

    Start by checking 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.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • try to uninstall programs, "Journal of instalation not found".

    I would be very gratful if someone could help me... once again please! Yesterday, after the acquisition of the programe of thugs 'CYBERSECURITY' I came here asking if someone could help me to get rid of it, thanks to those who responded, unbelivably, I managed to get rid of it myself with system restore in safe mode (it may work for other people, I answered some telling them to try this) that I never thought would work , but, touch wood, looks ok now Ive cleaned it. I just have a problem now try to uninstall the programs that I got rid of the day, I acquired of cybersecurity. I guess it's because the restore point, I gave him too much. I want to get rid of these again, but every time I try to unistal them, he said: (Ghost Installer) "Not found Setup log" happens then "this program might not be properly uninstalled" it gives the choice 'Uninstall using recommended settings' or 'this program uninstalled corectly' when I click to uninstall using recommended, then goes back to "instalation log not found" again. I don't know that there is a very simple answer to that, unfortunately, I don't know much, just a little more before the program of thugs! would be very gratful for help.

    Thank you

  • call tech from Microsoft to try to sell me malware, ccleaner, spyware superaniti after the installation of the new operating system windows 7

    Dell technicians had me buy a new disk, Windows 7 OS, which I installed it yesterday.  A few minutes before, a phone call came in saying they were calling from Microsoft and I wanted to scan for free because I bought a product at Microsoft.  They had me download software teamviewer.com, ccleaner, malware, spyware superantii.  They ran scans and said I was infected and I should buy these software packages for $79.  Is this a real service of Microsoft?  I still have these software on my computer, I have to delete them?  What other threats may be present, if it is not a true service of Microsoft?

    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then

    Please help me with my printer!

    I tried desperately to install an Epson WorkForce 615 on my computer, running Windows Vista 32-bit. Whenever I try, the print spooler stops and I can't move forward. I restart the print spooler and it stops again with each attempt. I tried every available quantity of advice that I could find online, to go into the registry and delete the files and enter cmd and stopping and restarting the spooler. I don't know what to do... Please help!

  • Try to run a 'error checking' and 'defragmentation' on my computer

    Hello

    My computer was slow, so I would like to run a 'error checking' and 'Defragmentation '.

    When I try to run the "error checking" I get the following message: "the disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files are accessible only by restarting windows. You want to schedule this disk check to occur the next time that you restart the computer? " I tried to restart Windows and check the disc again, but I still get the same message.

    When I try to run a defrag, I get the following message: "Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chdsk is expected to run on the volume: HP_PAVILION (c)." Please run Chkdsk /f.' I've repeatedly said no to checkdisk start in the previous paragraph, but I always get these messages.

    No information as to how I can solve this problem?

    Thank you!  Kara

    Maybe you will need to follow the instructions more closely.  If your repeatedly said 'NO', how it's supposed to run checkdisk?

    1. Click to open the computer.

    2. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. Click on the Tools tab, and then under error checking, clickCheck now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

      To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, selectAutomatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

      To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

      To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix file system errors andScan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. Click Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

    Note

    • If you select automatically fix errors of system file of a disk that is used (for example, thepartition as containsWindows), you will be asked to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

    --------------------

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
    drive from someone with the same model.

    Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
    nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

    DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
    devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

    Close the sidebar for that.

    Something else for the settings.ini - run AutoRuns and look at the entries SideBar - Gadget
    are there pointing to no longer like those temp files or uninstalled or
    gadgets run do not? Those who will reflect the "yellow icons" on the left side and the
    folder/files do not exist. If so right click on them and delete - Reboot.

    Autoruns - free - see what programs are configured so that it starts automatically when
    your system boots and you connect. Autoruns also shows you the complete list of the registry and
    locations where applications can configure Auto-start of the file settings.
