• Check disk freezes on stage 5? HARD disk errors?

  Hello

  I am sure that my HARD drive has errors on this subject and needs a good Defrag.

  When you perform a check disk with bad sectors recovery option, it always freezes just after starting step 5.

  Without the check be able to complete the errors that I don't think are cannot be fixed properly.

  How can I get it to end?

  Thank you

  Try running a HDD diagnostic of the manufacturer of the drive, then Windows is running.  Most hard disk manufacturers have utility software that can boot from the CD, DVD or USB and HDD test while Windows is not running.  This software may be able to find and fix the problems - but if the problem is severe enough, then it will do no good. But it certainly won't hurt to try.

• My family for vista disk defragmentation program premium will not fix. How can I solve this?

  When I put the calendar for defragmentation, good times are displayed.  When I log out and then log back on "next regular time" is listed as EVER.  I can't seem to accept the most updated schedule.  When I google this question, I see that it is a common problem for owners of Vista Home Premium

  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

• Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

  Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

  Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
  The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

  I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
  In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.

• Could not start, laptop computer, disk hard short DTS test failed

  When I start it, it stays on the screen with the HP logo and a black background for awhile and eventually get to a black screen with the cursor visible and mobile, but unable to do anything else.

  I tried to press F11 at startup to restore the factory settings, the system recognizes the key but leads straight to a black screen that I left it for several hours, but nothing happens.

  I have gone on the menu of system diagnostics and run a quick test that revealed the Hard Drive DST short, Check failed.

  Will I need a new hard drive? Or is it possible to fix it?

  If I need a new, where can I get one from?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The short drive Self Test (DST) failure would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with recovery and startup problems you describe.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - include the full model number and your notebook series g6 Nr - see here for an explanation.

• Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

  Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

  That is right.

  First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

  I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

  The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

  Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

  If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

  Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

  A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

  fsutil dirty query D:

  The sample output:
  Volume D: is dirty
  Volume D: is not dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened 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

  The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

  Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

  Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

  If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

  I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.

• I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):

  Hi Markgod5,

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  It seems that the hard drive is damaged if we get this error message to running chkdsk.

  You can start the computer in safe mode with command prompt and see if you can start.  Then run the chkdsk command.

  To do this follow these steps:

  (a) restart your computer if it is running.

  (b) press F8 after your computer powers initially on.

  (c) once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

  (d) use the up/down arrow keys to select Safe mode with command prompt.

  (e) in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk /R and Chkdsk /F

  Using recovery DVDs, you cannot switch mode winRE (Windows Recovery Environment) to run chkdsk. You need DVD full version (Win 7/Vista) or Vista repair disk.

  You probably won't be able to install win 7 because the problem is with the hard drive and chkdsk should be run for the error.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• Computer runs continuously check disk and automatically goes into power saving mode.

  2 days ago my computer was working fine, then yesterday he wanted to run the check disk at startup upward. Finished, he found no errors and proceeded to vista loading which then stated that he was going to power saving mode, the screen went black and clear screen turned yellow. Now he wants to run the check disk on every restart and ends with her past in power saving mode. I've only got 1 successful start since this all started. I tried to start in safe mode but it freezes. I also tried to boot to the last known configuration but that only prompted an another disk check and ended just as vain as other attempts. The hard drive is only a year so it should not be failing already. I don't know what I should try. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Hello

  1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Method 1.

  Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator.

  The correct way to disable CHKDSK to start use the on command chkntfs /x switch in command prompt. The /x switch will exclude a verification by default startup car. If you have drive C: as your hard drive, then the command to disable chkdsk C: drive analysis would be:

  chkntfs /x c:

  If you have 2 drives C and D, you can disable chkdsk with the command below

  chkntfs /x c: d:

  So go ahead and restart.

   

  Method 2. 

  Registry warning

  To do: Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

  Here are the steps to disable checkdisk at startup.

  1 - click on the 'Start' menu of Windows on the desktop and click on "Search" (Windows Vista or 7).

  2. Type "regedit" in the search box and press 'Enter' to start recording.

  3 - Click on '+' in the folder 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' to develop. Click on the 'SYSTEM' folder and click on the folder "CurrentControlSet". Click on the 'Control' folder and then click on the "Session Manager" folder.

  4 double click on 'BootExecute' on the right pane. You should see the default value of the key defined as autocheck autochk * (with asterisk). The asterisk (*) means that the Windows controls every drive for consistency. Add "/ K:C" at the end of the autocheck autochk * after the addition, the final value should look like this: autocheck autochk / k: C *.

  5 - Click on "file" and click "Exit" to close the damper. Restart your computer. The disk check is no longer lance to the computer startup.

  Method 3.

  After the checkdisk has been disabled, I suggest you to reset the power to the control panel settings and check if that helps.

When I start the computer, I get the logo Dell, microsoft Corp. loading defiler, then it will fail to start Windows. At this point, it goes to a black screen with only the visible mobile mouse cursor. I tried to restart and tried to insert the Vista installation disc that came with my Dell and "Computer repair" running, without result.

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the

  (type in a single line or copy / paste a line at a time and then press enter - type no parenthesis)
  or "BOLD")

  c:

  cd\

  CD c:\Windows\System32\winevt (there is a space between cd and C :)
  
  Ren LogsOLD Logs (there are spaces between ren and newspapers and Logsold)

  RESTART Windows

  I hope this helps.
