• Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption. STOP: 0x0000007B__Blue screen

  I have a Vista 64 bit OS.  I tried to do a system restore to the last checkpoint to interrupt a Service Pack.  Restore failed (don't remember exact error), now when I try to boot Vista, I get a message saying to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  STOP: 0X0000007B
  My questions are:
  (1) do I need Vista recovery CD in order to enter the menu advanced at this stage startup options?
  (2) if I decide to upgrade to Windows 7 now, made the stop: 0x0000007B have a problem with that?  or could I fall in Windows 7?
  Vista 64 gave me many problems and I think its time to make him... Thanks in advance... Mark

  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.

• CHKDSK changed on my external hard drive security descriptors, now I am unable to access

  My external hard drive is connected to my computer at startup and it began to run Chkdsk while I was away. I came back to find the security being replaced descriptors. Once this has been done and I logged in, I was unable to access the drive. "G: / is not accessible." Access is denied. "

  The disk appears in workstation but with no information of storage space. I changed permissions, sharing, and ownership as suggested elsewhere, but that didn't do anything either.

  Help, please!

  Your hard drive needs to be replaced. After the back if you want specific help with that. On your model, it is manageable for the end-user to do so, although not very easy. You are under warranty?

• Satellite 1410: I forgot the password for HARD drive

  Hi Please help!

  I have toshiba satellite 1410 series...
  I think that the hard drive was full and it was locked.
  I really need to get to this unblock as im very new to comps. whenever I start my pc it ask me password for HARD drive...
  I need all the help to get this open

  Help, please

  Hello

  AFAIK, you need the old HARD drive password to clear the password disk HARD asking.
  If you have forgotten the password to disk so you don t have any other possibility to get into the HARD drive. In this case, the HARD disk is unusable and unfortunately you need a new HARD disk drive. :(

  Best regards

• The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted. When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk. When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

  Original title: Program Files gone?

  Recently, I started my computer and noticed that a bunch of files are corrupt, and left most of my shortcuts.  I went into Program Files and discovered the entire file completely empty.  The computer says to run chkdsk b/c the program files are corrupted.  When I run chkdsk/r, it indicates that the NTFS is locked and I have to restart to run chkdsk.  When I reboot, the chkdsk never runs.

  My wife has all of its graduates work on the computer, I backed up since then, but I try to avoid doing a restore of the entire system.  Can you help me?

  I am running Microsoft XP.

  Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your XP system.  For XP support please visit the link below
  http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.General

  Also, try to start the computer in Mode safe.
  When the computer is switched on 1, start pressing F8 until you get a menu of Windows startup, choose Safe Mode.

  Sounds like something important happened (corruption).  If you have important data there (for example, your wives, diploma work), I would strongly suggest taking the computer to a qualified technician so that they can recover data out of there before the drive goes down or the o/s is too damaged.

  Good luck

• I can run vista windows on an external hard drive?

  Hi I was wondering if I could run windows vista Home premium (64 bit) on an external hard drive...

  and how would I do it?

  I was reading around and found some info that said that I need to start from the main internal drive, but I think that my internal drive has some errors and im not sure how long it will last... Although I did have too much problems with it since my last restore full on a month and half ago.

  any suggestions or steps I must take to be able to do this?

  I don't think that this is possible. It is possible to install/boot from a HDD external bootable with some revisions minor http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/07/15/how-to-install-windows-7-or-vista-from-bootable-portable-usb-flash-memory-key-or-hard-disk-drive/ (assuming that your BIOS supports this)-say if your CD/DVD has not, recovery or reinstallation, but it is not the same as Vista from the external HARD drive.  I think the biggest problem is the drivers who won't be loaded until the Windows startup and Windows could not start without the USB already loaded if it was located on an external USB drive (and the other drivers as well) and there may be some problems with the boot files.  There may be other issues - I think XP and Vista are INTENTIONALLLY DESIGNED to work this way (for reasons of piracy among others)...

  I read a post from Carey Frisch MVP, who says flatly that it cannot be done.  Here is an article on the topic which also categorically states that it cannot be done with XP or Vista http://computer-drives-storage.suite101.com/article.cfm/can_you_boot_from_external_hard_disk_drive.

  I read a few articles that say it's possible with XP using the appropriate BIOS and a whole bunch of changes in the registry (changes that have not been identified), but I frantly in doubt.  Too many other articles argue against it.  In addition, it would be MUCH slower (no matter how fast the hard disk) due to the method of connection - you do not use this way on a daily basis.

  Many of the dismantled external when hard drives are compaatible with and will fit inside the computer case and work as internal drives - maybe you can try that as an alternative (assuming that you do not want to buy another drive HARD internal for now).

  To test your hard drive, check the manufacturer and then get the diagnostic utility of: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hardware-support/hard-drive-support/302602-hard-drive-diagnostic-utilities.html.  If she failed the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.  You can also run chkdsk /f /r from the elevated command prompt and see what happens - happens to you lots of bad sectors and a lot of corruption, then it is time to replace the drive before it will totally fail...

  I hope this helps (although it is probably not the answer you were hoping for).

  Good luck!

  Post edited by: alicozgo

  I changed the subject, because it was so dumb. Why would I ask 'what hard drive buy' in a Toshiba forum :) what a forum administration...

  Hello

  Satellite A200 is a more recent series of laptops. This series of laptop use and support the SATA HDD controller and this means that you need a SATA HDD!

  The laptop runs the 2.5 hard drives. The speed of the HARD drive is not very important for compatibility so that you can choose 4200 RPM or other

  In addition the SATA controller has no limitation in size so THEORETICALLY, you should be able to use hard drives with 320 GB or more
  But in some cases rare BIOS would not be able to manage some HARD drive sizes, but this generally isn't the case

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Short DST check failure hard drive?

  I've had this laptop since around to last August and so far he has played normally without any problems. However, this morning the phone became unusable as it would freeze whenever I tried to open anything after the start. Because I could not activate McAfee security, which I do have but have had disabled for almost a month or two because he slowed a little games I rarely use all dangerous Web sites, I have activated the diagnostic system and quickly an error is found with the DST Hard Drive, with the UCWFXL error code - M 7, 7834 - MFPWL1 - 60VM03. I'm not entirely sure what this question means, but I clearly have to solve in order to make use of the laptop again. Since it is a problem of hard drive, this means the hard drive needs to be replaced? Don't assume that someone could tell me what measures should be considered now?

  Hello

  Error code 24 characters confirm they failed short Self Test disk failure and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problems you describe.

  As your laptop is less than a year, he should still under warranty, so contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - if necessary, you can check the status of your warranty here.

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

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

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

• Install Windows 7 on a Compaq Presario CG61 - driver for HARD drive

  Hello everyone,

  because of my Compaq Presario CQ61-423SG HARD drive (series: edited by moderator) broke (and with it the recovery partition), I would like to install a new Windows 7 (home premium, 64-bit) on the new HARD drive.

  Initially the program is in need of a driver for the HARD disk installation. On the HP site, I can't find. Can someone help me? Where can I get a driver for my laptop?

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  I am very surprised that Windows 7 requires a driver disk for the model controller.

  In any case, I compressed upwards and tied the drivers you need (look under the line attachments at the bottom of my post).

  Now, here's what you have to do...

  Extract the files to a flash usb without all the folders drive.

  With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

  After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

  You should now see the storage driver files listed.

  If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

  Follow the prompts and should install W7.

• CQ56-219WM rebuilt for hard drive

  Machine of Windows 8 that uses my teenage son.    He tried to turn on one day and have absolutely nothing. Honestly, I don't know how, but we have managed to turn and started IMMEDIATELY by pressing F11 as recommended by HP (hoping to be able to rescue/restore, because we were the bad guys and did not create the hot spare when we bought the new machine).  The machine hangs and will do absolutely nothing when we try this approach.

  Suggestions please!  I might mention that my wife started having some problems with his machine, shortly after you install MINECRAFT on hers.  She has uninstalled and works very well since.  The reason that I mention that is because our son has MINECRAFT on the machine that we are discussing here.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!

  Hello

  Some of the things you can try:

  Hard reset: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01684768

  Run a vast hard drive & memory tests, it will take time: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03463381

  Wait for the results.

  If all tests pass, you could go for partition recovery in your system.
  But as it freezes, I don't see what is happening.

• Smart check for hard disk

  My computer is a Pavilion dv7 - 6123cl.  My operating system is windows 7.  I get an error message indicating intelligently check that my hard drive is about to fail.  When I use the tests diagnostic to check HP short and long check, it says that my drive is check.  It seems to be something in Windows 7 that is running the Smart check that produces the error message.  When I try to use the windows diagnostics program, it says failed.  When I try to any control using windows check, it says failed.

  Heck, Toshiba is one of the few that does not offer its own hard drive diagnostic tool.
