• Cannot run chkdsk - Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.

  original title: can I run chkdsk on win xp home, but when I try to use switches, I get cannot lock the current drive. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. HELP PLEASE

  I run chkdsk without switches on win xp home. I told myself I file error and to set running chkdsk with /f. but when I try, I get the cannot lock the drive, chkdsk may not run because ect...  I tried in safe mode, same thing. I sfc/scannow, but it has not fixed the problem files. help please

  It's normal.  You can not run a check disk on your system disk because your system is to use.  The Message you get should ask you if you want to run it at the next reboot.  You must answer 'Yes' to this message, and then restart your computer.  A disk check should take place as it is restarted.

  FYI: A check disk can take hours if you have a large drive or there are a lot of problems on the disc and you cannot use your machine while the scan is in progress.  Better to operate during the night.  Also, I got checkdsk completely erase the hard disk to the point where the only option was to reformat and reinstall Windows.  Make sure that your data available are well-supported before running Chkdsk.

• Cannot run chkdsk and subsequently cannot run the defragmentation

  I'm unable to defragment my hard drive. It is said that there is a regular print run of chkdsk at startup which never works. If I try to run chkdsk /f myself, I get a message that says that the computer is unable to lock the station and that the volume is already used by a different process. Does anyone have a tip?

  Is it possible to run chkdsk or scandisk at startup by pressing a certain button?
  Is there a list of tasks scheduled outside of that Panel?

  Hello

  I assume that you have enabled the service chkdsk under properties of the HARD drive.
  If you have activated the chkdsk in Windows you need to restart the device and after restarting again the blue screen should appear a the chkdsk must begins.

  In my opinion you simply restart your device after the start of the chkdsk command.

• Cannot run chkdsk/f.

  Have windows xp/sp3. You try to run chkdsk/f. Message says system needs to run at next boot. When I do run scan disk only and reports errors found. Promts run me chkdsk/f. I tried this in safe mode, start normally. Same thing happens every time. What should I do?

  Hello terrystephens16

  Go to "Start" "Run" type "msconfig" without the quotes. When the window opens select the first "Général" tab, select "normal startup" click on apply and OK

  Have a look in the Msconfig tab > Boot.ini make sure that ' / SOS ' is disabled in the Startup Options section. If it is checked, then it will cause chkdsk check each time you start.

  If you continue to have the problem with CHKDSK, then a command prompt window (start > all programs > Accessories > prompt)

  At the prompt, type

  CHKNTFS /D (there is a space before /)

  Come in

  Reset

  CHKDSK will run again, but I hope that it will be the last time that he did.

• Cannot run chkdsk under Vista or restart

  While Vista is on, volume is in use. Command prompt run as administrator, said volume in use - you want to run chkdsk on reboot - YES. However, chkdsk does not run after a reboot.

  Camden,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Most likely, there is a service or a process that prevents chkdsk from starting when the system restarts.  The best way to fix this is to go to a clean boot by disabling all unnecessary services and then allowing them one by one until the problem occurs. Then you will know what process or service is initially that he will not run.  Likely guilty would be the antivirus software or any third-party disk utilities.  Here's how to do a clean boot:

• Cannot run chkdsk in mode in Windows 7

  Well, it seems a bit odd, but these last weeks even if I try to run the "chkdsk/f/x c:" command in elevated mode it stops immediately after control of the type of volume as follows:

  «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
  Access denied as long as you have enough privileges.
  You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode. »

  The high mode title bar displays command prompt "Administrator: command prompt" and executes the diskpart and sfc commands quite normally, but the only problem is running chkdsk with indicator repair.

  Even the GUI mode chkdsk option denies running chkdsk if repair is checked.

  Tried to Disable Symantec Endpoint 12.1 and Comodo Firewall, but the problem is the same.

  However, I never connected to built in Administrator profile, so today I am logged in as an administrator, windows has set up the office by creating a new profile and from there "chkdsk/f/x c:" works correctly.

  Even more, if I use the following command then also chkdsk runs successfully

  runas / user: computer\Administrator "chkdsk c: /f /x.

  Can you please give me a solution?

  Hi Denise,

  Thank you for you answer and provide a detailed description of the issue. As you said, you had problems with his profile a few months ago, there could be opportunities for corruption in the user account that could have caused this problem.

  Try to fix a corrupted user profile and check if it helps.

  I hope this helps to solve the issue. If you still have the same problem, get back to us. We will be happy to help you.

  Well, before I ask the question I already checked with a new profile.

  Surprisingly today, after you have installed the Java runtime update a problem. Reasons? Anyone?

  But thank you all for your support.

• Satellite L500 - cannot run the DVD-ROM games

  I am currently having problems with my Toshiba Satellite L500 series. The problem is, I can run purchased audio CD, as well as DVDs of the films, but I can't run games DVDrom. Music CD will automatically start Media Player very well, as well as films in their corresponding players... Games (like Dragon Age Origins and Left 4 Dead) DVD - ROM cannot read, or be recognized. When I go to "Computer" and try to access the game, it says "no available disk. Please insert disc into drive D: ". So from what I understand, the CD/DVD-rom may not be completely broken if he reads all types, except for games to DVDrom.

  Can someone help me with this please! It is quite frustrating because my computer is just now to a year! I wouldn't think that all computer companies sell computers that fall apart after a year... I was hoping that it was different with Toshiba.

  Once more, the CD/DVD-ROM can read CD and DVD of the film, but NOT the games to DVDrom. Help, please! Thanks in advance!

  Hi adecker,.

  Maybe it s caused due the upper and lower filters in the registry. You should try to remove as you can read in this article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  I had a similar problem that some discs can't be read more. And I went thorugh based forum to clean the CD/DVD drive lens with a microfibre cloth. Be careful if you do this and don't scratch the lens.

• Satellite A660 - fan runs fast

  Hello

  Today, I bought a new laptop i7 A660-1FM. I'm pretty happy with it so far except the noise from the fan.
  The minimum speed at which it works is 68%, from to 75 and sometimes 90% sometimes.

  It never goes below 68% even when nothing is running (sitting on the desktop only).
  Is this normal? My top in the previous round of Tosh just fan cuts in and out as needed.
  This new machine is much too loud, as I use it most of the time in a quiet room.

  I played with all power options, including cooling settings, but makes no difference.
  Please help as I really don't want to have to talk to the PC World (the place I bought) I know they'll be totally useful United Nations.

  > Is this normal? My top in the previous round of Tosh just fan cuts in and out as needed.
  It depends on the internal temperature.
  Please don't compare other portable different with different material specifications.
  A660 was equipped with processor with high performance and a 3D graphics chip. These devices create a lot of heat and need to be cooled.

  But you can also slightly reduce the activity of fan, change its settings in the Windows 7 power management.

  It s on Vista power management, but it of very similar to Windows 7.
  There are a few options.

• Satellite A660 - cannot see the saved files

  The problem is with a game I have.

  I see a file that I downloaded on the net to play, but the game files that I saved do not appear when I look for them that they don't show up. But when I view the compatibility files, they show, but me is not good since I can't send them to others who need to use them. The game in question is civilization 3 conquests, but I have a PC with it on and did not have this problem.

  So where can I find the setting to make them visible?

  >... can't see the saved files
  Is - this general problem with your computer laptop or you have noticed with the game only files?
  I mean that's not easy to say anything on this specific issue.

  I m not a gambler so I can't comment on some problem of game files.
  Try to find a game forum where people discuss civilization 3 conquests and ask if anyone else has noticed the same problem.

• Satellite A660 - cannot install Win 7 using the external DVD drive

  Hello!

  Not so long I asked help to reinstall win 7 on my laptop.
  The only option was actually in the restoration of order dvd what I did. Today, it has arrived.

  Problem is, or was that some of the CD or the DVD couldn't be read for some reason any.

  Now it won't boot from the cd, it says faulty hard drives.

  So what I did I have pluged my detached external DVD drive and it started from that.

  But just after a few seconds, she told me to '1 support recovery' and open the drive in the laptop. Tried to insert the disc - nothing, like its not inserted, tried to disable computers portable cd - nothing please help

  Hello

  You should first check if the external CD/DVD drive is recognized as a boot device.
  Connect the external USB CD/DVD drive and switch on the device.
  Press F12.

  Now, you will see all bootable devices. Generally, the CD/DVD USB drive should appear if his support. If it does not appear, you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive.

  In this case I recommend you to create a bootable USB flash memory and install Windows 7 from USB flash memory
