  • Disorder of CHKDSK Scandisk in XP

    After you delete a large number of files on my X 61 to 100 GB with XP Pro, I have a defrag may be in order. However Diskeeper Lite has indicated that "the CHKDSK command is attached to work on the preload (C". ")" Restart the machine to run CHKDSK gave error C: could not be mounted because it was in use. ScanDisk gives the same problem at startup. So I'm now stuck in an infinite loop where defrag cannot be done because chkdsk cannot be run. Either by the way, the HARD disk, control of routine in the Bios indicates the drive is in great shape.

    This seems to be a common problem in XP, but I find no answer to the question. Anyone here has a solution before you reinstall Windows (suggested by support Lenovo BTW).

    I tried several times. No luck. However I solved at the time of running chkdsk problem and obtained at least. I ran msconfig and went to the boot.ini tab and set the system to boot in safe mode. CHKDSK runs allowed. He found a few minor errors. To restart, I was able to run the defrag program.

  • ScanDisk restarted several times on Windows ME

    Whenever I run ScanDisk on my computer, I get an error message that says it has restarted 10 times. I already tried the following:

    • Restart in Mode safe
    • Disable the screen saver and wallpaper
    • Close all active programs in the Task Manager

    I do not have a floppy disk, so I can't create a recovery disk. Can someone please help? Thank you.

    This is a common problem in Windows Millennium Edition.  Safe mode is the best place to run it, but you need to keep "continue" on the message that you get on this restart.  The only other option is to get a floppy disk you can boot into DOS mode in real time.

    Or move on to Windows NT :)

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)

  • Can no longer access my Scandisk Cruzer Blade USB 4GByte

    My Dell PC (XP SP3 operating system) still recognizes my Scandisk Cruzer Blade USB 4GByte, but now you invite "the disk in drive G is not formatted. Want to format it now?

    I suspect that the drive is full, as I planned to remove a few files for some time - but not got around him. The last time it worked, I copied a file from software on the drive for a colleague. He took the blade, copied the file and returned it to me.

    Is it possible that I can "secure format" the drive without erasing the data on it or another method of recovery/restoration of the blade.

    Tried to win 7 & XP - no joy. Colleague (System Administrator) used a recovery software but can't find anything.

    Technical support of Scandisk which provided a link to the software recovery LC company went through. Recovery software demo download, but once again failed to find all the files. Talked to their technical support which provided another link for some more advanced software. Once again no file is found. Talked with them and now confirmed her drive is clean and empty - somehow?

    Their Filerecover software checks the data in hexadecimal block - all zeros.
