• Welcome Delay screen - SOLVED!

  I installed and activated my Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 on my laptop. The official release. When I installed it worked perfectly, duration of boot time was about 35 to 45 seconds (measured with the event viewer). Then I installed the drivers for my PC. After you install the drivers, I noticed that the boot was much slower, and after system reinstallation and drivers about 10 times and some research on the web, I discovered that the problem was my graphics card driver, which was built in Catalyst Control Center, software that has been developed for editing the settings of graphics card , which I don't need (I'm sure that Catalyst Control Center delayed because the other drivers did not affect display welcome screen and startup time - after I installed them start time was almost the same). So I installed system and the drivers 11th time in a row without Catalyst Control Center and it worked fine. Boot time was about 50-60 seconds, and I was very satisfated. After that, I had a few problems of configuration of Windows Update, so I had to reinstall the system and the drivers again. I did, and the delay of the Welcome screen happened again. I have to wait 20-30 seconds, I watch "Welcome Screen" before displaying the desktop whenever I turn on my PC. Duration of start-up time is sometimes more than 120 seconds.

  Before every installation, I formatted my hard drive 150 GB (c) (I don't know if formatting hard drive can affect startup time). As I said, the hard drive has been formatted more than 10 times. I used the Disk Defragmenter and % fragmented partition was 4%. After defragmentation, it is again 0%.

  During the last installation of windows 7, I deleted all my hard drives, made a new and formatted it (465 GB). After you install windows on this hard drive, another problem that has happened. Another delay. Before displaying the home screen, the screen on laptop goes empty for 5 to 10 seconds. I reinstalled the system and the drivers again and nothing has changed. (I used the new Disk Defragmenter; fragmented % was 3%, now it is 0%).

  I tried this to solve the problem:

  1 fixed start using the Windows 7 installation disc

  2 tried Microsoft patches for this problem, including this one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977346?wa=wsignin1.0

  3. disabled all unnecessary startup items in 'msconfig' (only things that are always running are: avast!) Antivirus, Synaptics pointing Device Driver & Intel USB 3.0 Monitor - they caused no delay, because after having them out of time is always there).

  4 opportunity: disc Defregmenter, disk cleanup, System File Checker (System File Checker has found no problem).

  Here is the Configuration of my PC:

  Laptop: Toshiba Satellite C855 - 12K (PSKCEE)

  The system version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

  Processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) CPU B960 2.20 GHz, 2200 Mhz, 2 Lossnay, 2 logical processors

  RAM: 4 GB

  Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD M 7610

  PS: Sorry for the long description. Please help and ask for more information if you need. I hope that this problem will be solved, thanks in advance.

  SOLVED!

  Finally! Surprisingly, the gist was: DISK DEFRAGMENTER.
  As said above, I've already tried Disk Defragmenter, and it does not seem useful. But when I ran the last time, he behaved in a different way. When I tried for the first time, I analyzed my Local disc (c :)) (button "analyze"), fragmented % was 4%.) After that, I pressed "defragment". Disk Defragmenter does this:
  1. analyze;
  2 defragmentation;
  3 consolidation.
  Full process is completed with 3 Pass.
  The last time I ran, it was different. He did:
  1. analyze;
  2 defragmentation;
  3 resettlement;
  4. building.
  Entire process ends with 9 Pass. He also took a lot more time to complete.
  Thanks for the reply anyway. I tried some of your tips.
   Method 1: in my case, there is no computer is infected with the virus, because all of the hard disk has been reformatted completely several times.
   Method 2: has not tried, because I had some bad experiences in the past.
   Method 3: is not at all tried, I don't know if it helps.
   Method 4: I have tried it already, I notice no improvement at boot time.
  From my experience, there is something that I'm (not) proposing.
  1. Startup Repair of the system installation disk. In my case, it was not useful, he has even worsened Boot Time. After I had it ran, another bad thing happened: after "Welcome Screen", there is a small screen black period, before the appearance of the office.
  2. important and useful thing was Disk Cleanup. After I had it ran, I noticed a slight improvement, not only at boot time, but in the overall performance.
  3. be careful when you install the drivers. When I bought my laptop, there is too much unnecessary drivers. They take a lot of RAM, slow start-up and overall performance.

  Generally no.
   
  How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
  Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
   
  Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and
  What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
  is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this
  Object:
   
  The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a
  unique situation for all. You get good performance if the amount of
  RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
  It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
  Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
  works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
  with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
  as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
  adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
   
  If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory
  will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
  If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
  nothing for you. Reach
  http://billsway.com/notes%5Fpublic/WinXP%5Ftweaks/ and download
  WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should
  give you a good idea of more memory can help and if so, how
  lots more.

  You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
  storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
  any changes to the available disk space.

• Help! Computer hangs during attempts to complete or defragmentation (MS) (MSE) virus scan or CHKDSK C: /f

  Help, please!  My computer freezes whenever I try to run a full scan or use the MS defrag it came with.  I have an important job who needs to back up, but I'm afraid that I shouldn't be where it is a virus.  I would really appreciate the help.

  Details:

  Windows XP Home Edition
  Microsoft Windows
  Version 5.1 (... Service Pack 3)

  Current system:
  Microsoft Windows XP
  Home Edition
  Version 2002
  Service Pack 3

  Fujitsu Siemens Computers
  Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 CPU
  T7200 @ 2.00 GB of RAM

  Info of current Disk Defragmenter:
  C: NTFS 112 free capacity space 47 GB space 43%
  (Was only 15% of free space at the beginning of the problems, before I removed or reduced the old files)

  Antivirus:
  Originally from Norton 2006, now uninstalled and replaced with the current Microsoft Security Essentials

  Browser: firefox version 3.5.9 (IE too but do not use)

  The story so far:

  FIRST PROBLEM: ACCIDENTS CAUSING SLEEP/HIBERNATE / SCREENSAVER?
  I am back from vacation and turned on my computer.  Soon, he wanted to upgrade me to the latest Firefox (must have been 3.6?).  He may have also updated my windows automatically.  Then whenever the standby/hibernation/standby screen came (not sure what was the culprit), the computer would crash - I would just get a gray screen when I tried to find by moving the mouse.

  'SOLVED' BY:
  I restored the system to a few points saved from before I agreed to install the new firefox.  I also stopped the computer goes on standby or into hibernation.  I couldn't work on how to disable the screen saver.  Standby/hibernation/standby order screen blocks the computer after that, and I took care not to upgrade to firefox 3.6, once again just in case, stay with the version that I was on, but continued to accept upgrades (now on 3.5.9).  I have always been accepting the automatic updates of windows however, because I was told that I should do.

  UNRESOLVED ISSUE: ANTI-VIRUS AND DEFRAGMENTATION DOWN EACH RUN
  So, I now had a more usable computer.  I tried to check virus, but the virus check (Norton, 2006) would be broken whenever I tried to do a full audit.  I analyzed in the MS Defrag tool that came with my computer and I saw that I had 15% free space, so I tried to Defrag.  Defragmentation has also crushed every time, usually at 3%.

  26 January:
  CRASHED ON THESE FILES:
  -Defrag crashed on A0044502.rbf
  -(J'ai remarqué que le nom était semblable à celle de la vérification de virus s'est écrasée avant)
  -Defrag then crashed over the other in a different file type, but I didn't note it (tmp.edb?)
  -Defrag crashed on C:/System volume information/_RESTO~1/RP320/A0045026.rbf (I think that virus check then crashed on this one too)
  -virus scan crashed on A0045030.rbf

  I ran cmd chkdsk_/f, as told to a friend.  He made 3 times and the screen went too fast to see writes said before he started.

  -defragged once again, it crashed on A0045107.rbf

  CLEANUP TO FREE UP SPACE FOR SPRING:
  I then had the end of emergency work, so did not have to try to solve this problem for weeks.  I just don't have the virus scan and did not try to defragment, therefore had no crashes.  When I had spare time, I went through removing unnecessary programs, deleting unnecessary files of old works and by reducing the great graphics work at smaller sizes.  At the time I had finished my rush job and could return to the problem, I got 43% free space.

  Wednesday, April 8:
  BACK TO ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
  -J' uninstalled Norton 2006 and then installed Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it would take viruses.  QuickScan revealed no.  Full analysis has crashed every time unfortunately.
  9 April:
  -CHKDSK C: /f or crashed was working incredibly slow (1/2 hour on the same file) both times I tried to do.  Both times it crashed on 66% to check the data of the file (4 of 5)
  SFC - typed term: the black box will Flash up but then disappears so fast, you can hardly see.  Nothing else happens.  I tried several times.
  -J' restarted the computer in "safe mode with command prompt" and tried SFC/scannow and got the following error:
  "Windows file protection could not initialize a scan of protected system files.
  The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]. »
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and typed SFC term.  Same thing happened as has happened before in the windows.
  -J' rebooted 'safe mode' and tried a full analysis of the MSE virus.  After an hour of working, it crashed in this file: C:/System Volume Information/_restore{5C5FC002-5FB5-4560-96DA-E32D8569FB2E}/RP320/A0045038.rbf.  This happened just after I clicked on a tiny with my notes Notepad document, although I don't know if that's what he did or has not already been blocked.  I managed to take a break and he reactivated just before it crashed.  The complete virus check was almost over, guessing 80% to the green bar.
  -J' tried to Defrag in 'safe mode', which soon crushed on C:... A0070595. MSI
  All these accidents April just cause the screen appearing to freeze because the virus check or defrag did not move from the file it says that it was on... then when I would try to stop it, the screen completely freezes so I have to manually shut down.

  Please help me solve this problem!  Should I save my work?  If I back up and there is a virus, then my backup external hard drive could be infected.  But if I do not support, I could lose a lot of work.

  Thank you very much.

  Speedlauncher Adobe is a legitimate program, while orangefirefox.exe presents itself as an infection by the worm on a google search.

  It's a little unusual that Kaspersky would freeze even in SafeMode... perhaps running a chkdsk might help take the files that programs AV and defrag crash on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

  You may disable the system restore: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and this should get rid of all the restore points and then hopefully no longer break when scanning, but make sure you turn it!

  But sometimes I come across systems that had infections as well as at the end of all the damage that has been caused, it is better just to do a reinstall.

  Hi, I have not been able to defragment my new laptop of the I received (4 days ago)...

I never get a report after analysis or defragmentation...

  Any help is greatly appreciated...

  Type Disk Defragmenter in the search box above the Start button and press ENTER. What do you see?

  When Disk Defragmenter is then scheduled to run? When it was last run and what was the percent fragmentation?

• Disk Defragmenter error - CHKDSK /F tried many fixes listed in this site & they do not work - please help! Windows XP

  I have the problem of error Disk Defrag as described in many articles on this site and I tried to use your method of repair twice, both times which could not solve the problem.

  I have a "dirty Bit", as shown in the second line, but your other directions does not solve the problem.  Please note that after your direction to type chkdsk c: /f /r ask Y / N question which you note in your direction.  the system won't let you leave without answering the question. I tried both Y & N responses and both failed to solve the problem.

  My problem started with me updating my Itunes program.  I tried to do the update, but for one reason or another that the update would not take, I took all the update prgrams (new) is installed.  That's when all my problems.

  I lost half of my available disk space on my c: drive even if I removed the additional programs, and more I can't defragment my c: drive as I continue to get the chkdsk /f error code.

  I'm running an old Sony Vaio PC with 60 GB of available disk space. Windows XP.

  Any other suggestions?  I searched around on google and there are all kinds of software "for sale" and repairs that do not also work that supposedely will solve the problem.  I don't want to lose money on something that should be an easy fix.

  Help, please!

  We'll walk though...

  You cannot run the defragmentation on a volume where the dirty bit is set - you must clear the dirty (somehow) bit first before running chkdsk.

  Checking the sale but with fsutil is a good idea and you said that your disk is dirty.

  He probably got the dough to a power interruption (in general), aborted restart or an abnormal termination.  None of this happen or familiar?

  When XP starts, it checks to see if any volume is dirty and if any volume is dirty, XP automatically start chkdsk on it because she would like to fix it for you.

  The only thing that can clear the dirty bit is a successful execution of chkdsk/r.

  The following idea:

  chkntfs /x c:

  That puts a bit in the registry that tell XP to not even check the volume dirty bit... never, so if the disc is dirty, the auto chkdsk will not work on the disk since you already told him not to do so and it remains dirty.  Maybe this isn't a good idea unless you plan to undo it someday.  This part seems to be absent from these instructions (how to cancel it).

  If I were you, I would that result than now because it it really in your best interest to leave XP check the volume and try to fix it if the bit of impurity if she set, right?  Why do you want to tell XP not to check your volumes when they could really need to check?

  To cancel this order, enter the following command:

  chkntfs /d (you don't have so specifies a volume).  That sets everything back to the 'normal' and also removes all pending the command chkdsk, you may have said YES to previously.

  Now your volume is still dirty (you can check it again).

  If your chkdsk to run at reboot and it's not clearing the dirty bit, you can see in the Event Viewer Application log to see what happened:

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart, the results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems. If it looks like nothing, look at the report in the event log Viewer Application.

  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.

  Look in the Application log for a Winlogon event, something as a source (yours may be different):

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Sometimes it seems that even if XP running chkdsk for you, the dirty bit still is not cleared for any reason, then simply start it yourself from the XP Recovery Console.

  What I do in cases like yours to run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console you can actually see what happens and watch him run (waiting).   When it's done, you can't question the impurity of the RC bit, but you can run chkdsk/r again until he come clean, and if he can, it clears the dirty bit too.  It does not hurt anything either to run chkdsk/r, even when there is no 'need' to be executed.

  You can get in the RC since an authentic Windows XP installation CD, or you can make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console if you don't know what kind of CD, you have (no XP media required).

  I'd just a console RC bootable CD, so there is no doubt about what you have for a bootable media.  You can always use it again another day (it might be quite useful).

  Here's how:

  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.

  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/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  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 prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  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.

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

• I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.

  When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f..  If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps.  Can anyone help?

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  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!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.  That's the short answer.

  If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).

  On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, 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

  You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

  Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

  If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

  If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

  Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

  This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
  .
  These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.

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

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's 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.

  Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

  When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

  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.

  Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  A disk check has been programmed.

  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

  If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

  If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

  Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

• Disk Defragmenter cannot open

  I try to defragment the disk, but I get this error message. disk defrag cannot open. Thanks for any help

  The exact wording of your error message would be useful? If you have installed an another disk defragmenter?

  Most Defragmenter problem arises a disk problem. Select Start, run, type cmd and press ENTER. Type "chkdsk c: /f /r" without the quotes and press ENTER. Make sure you include the spaces indicated. Enter Y when asked if you want to run chkdsk on restart the computer. Quit and then restart the computer.

  Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

  If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

  However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.
