Trying to fix Chkdsk from freezing to step 5 of 5 during a scan and trying to recover bad sectors and fixing file system errors

On this afternoon, I ran chkdsk to check and recover bad sectors and solve the system files and then frozen at 43% on step 5 of 5. I left it on through the night and I went to school and came back, she was still at 43%. Then manually shut my computer and since I tried to solve the problem. It was the second time I ran chkdsk on this pc having windows 7 generally run chkdsk every month or so to make sure that everything works well. After that my problem is that I tried so many things that I ran spinrite, I reinstalled windows, I tried to run chkdsk on safe mode, I tried sfc/scannow, and chkdsk/p and all these things has not fixed the problem. CHKDSK/p was the only thing that does not even tried to fix anything because it says invalid parameter. Also when I reinstalled windows 7 on my pc then chkdksk froze to 49% on step 5 of 5.  I even ran diagnostics from the bios and I use Seagate Seatools and two diagnostics says my hard drive is perfectly fine. I also tried running chkdsk in windows 7 cd and for some reason any he completed in less than 2 hours. I then ran chkdsk from the pc and then it froze again it made me think that there must be something wrong with my pc. So I was wondering how can I get chkdsk to complete my PC again once instead of using the windows 7 cd every time.

    If you used the power switch, you can inadvertently damage your file system, so before wasting time to try a bunch of things, I could do this (or you may be wasting a lot of time to try things too):

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

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    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.

    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.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    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.

  • I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me I have problems with the file system, usn journal. ___

    I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me that I have problems with the sys file. I ran CHKDSK/F, it is said it fixed the problem but I ran CHKDSK again and it shows that the same listed the issues.

    Describe how you run chkdsk.

    That is what the report said: you have problems with the sys file?

    CHKDSK examines the disk space and use of the disk for the table of allocation of files (FAT) and NTFS file systems. CHKDSK provides information specific to each file system in a situation report. The report shows the errors found in the file system. If you run chkdsk without the /f on an active partition command line option, it can report errors because it cannot lock the drive. You should use chkdsk occasionally on each disk to check for errors.

    If you run chkdsk from a command prompt while Windows is running, it can report errors or it may not report errors - and it may report different
    Errors each time you run.  If this is the case, it could just be the way you run chkdsk.

    Here's how Microsoft explains this observation:

    "... CHKDSK may report that the disc is damaged, even when there is no
    current real corruption. This can happen if NTFS happens to modify
    areas of the disc on behalf of some programme activities that CHKDSK is
    review at the same time. To check a volume correctly, the volume
    must be in a static state, and the only way to ensure that the State is
    to lock the volume. CHKDSK only locks the volume when /F or/r (which
    involves the 'F') is specified. For example, you may need to run CHKDSK more than
    time so that it can complete all the steps in read-only mode. »

    If you run chkdsk from a command prompt, you are not the necessary static state and you can encounter errors "when no real corruption is present. This is how it works when you use this way.  Any changes made to a NTFS file system modifies the USN Journal.  If you are not in a static state, your USN change Journal probably all the time, so what you see (says something like that) can be quite normal.

    Two ways to ensure that you are in a static state is to run chkdsk from the Recovery Console or to schedule a chkdsk to run the next time that the system
    Restart by answering Yes to the question:

    Would you want to check this volume to be the next time the system restarts?

    If chkdsk reports errors when running in a static state, the errors should be investigated, resolved or explained.  This may take several
    chkdsk runs all of the issues and some problems cannot be resolved by chkdsk.

    If chkdsk runs the next time the system is restarted, the activity and the result will be displayed in the application event log.  Look in the Application log for
    Winlogon events and a source have the date and the duration nearby time chkdsk.

    It is in fact a chkdsk additional reading if you want to learn about it and it will explain everything you see and why your expectations exceed reality.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update on the issue. I appreciate your time and effort in resolving this issue.

    You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    You can use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot and repair the following items in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    • A master boot record (MBR)
    • A boot sector
    • A Boot Configuration data (BCD) store

    Note: When you are troubleshooting startup issues by using the Windows RE, you should first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If the Startup Repair option does not resolve the problem, or if you must troubleshoot more steps manually, use the Bootrec.exe

    Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392

    If the problem persists, proceed to method 2.

    Method 2:

    Please follow these steps:

    1. Tool command prompt open in the mode of the Windows recovery environment .
    2. You will see X:\Sources
    3. Type chkdsk c:\ at the flashing prompt to launch the utility Chkdsk. replace c:\ with the letter of the drive that you want to run the Chkdsk utility. If the hard drive is d:\, then type that instead.
    4. After the "chkdsk c:\. "insert \f command to fix errors on the disk volume or the \r to recover bad sectors and then press ENTER.
    5. Restart the computer once the chkdsk command has completed.

    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive, it attempts to repair this sector, if all available on which data may be lost.

    Hi jacmgod,

    I can't find a reference to this error code. Can you tell me what kind of update you tried t? In the meantime, I can offer some general troubleshooting tips. First of all, run chkdsk from your pc to correct possible errors in file:

    Run Check the disk:

    1. click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .

    2 right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

    3. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: chkdsk /r

    4. If the request to run at the next reboot, typeand press ENTER.

    5 restart your computer

    Here is another tool to fix corrupt system files:

    The System File Checker tool:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .

    2 right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue

    3. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    4. when the scan is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    Finally, do a clean and start to see if cn you do the update:

    Clean boot

    Test in an environment clean boot to see if this problem is related to the interference of other programs / services:

    1. click on Start, type msconfig in the Search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.)

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click restart.

    7 log on to your account.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    If the problem does not reappear when your computer is in clean boot mode, a background program probably causes interference. You can try to determine which background program is causing the problem when the computer is in clean boot mode.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    To find the process or program to cause follow the steps from half of the points Services allow, in the following article:

    How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine if background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently use

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

    ---------------------------------------------------

    To restore your Normal startup:

    1. click on Start, type msconfig in the Search box and press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.)

    2. on the general tab, click Normal startup.

    3. When you are prompted, click restart.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Stay in this mode and keep stable your computer until you experience the same problem, or it works long enough you know that you are experiencing is, after that you can restore to a normal start and give us your results.

    (Clean boot run your computer with minimum interference of any program or service that are not linked windows).

    Post here if you continue to have problems and give us a little more information as to what you're trying to do. Thank you

  • How can I stop CHKDSK from running on startup?

    CHKDSK turned on somehow and now every time I start my Pc it runs this program.  It is on my hard drive and takes a long time to startup!  How can I stop the program from running at startup?

    The next time your system starts and installs, you should check the bit of impurity of the volume as follows:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    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

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    Is your disc dirty or it is not dirty?    If you have more than one volume, check all out them.

    A volume is marked usually dirty of a power outage or something like using the power button to restart the system.  One of this kind of thing has happened before this problem?

    The command chkntfs /d to clear a chkdsk waiting you plan yourself, but it does not clear the dirty bit.

    The command chkntfs /X C: never say XP check the reader for inconsistencies again and perhaps not a good idea since the reader may really need that chkdsk to run on it.  If the dirty bit is just NOT clear, no matter what you do, your HARD disk may be failing / failed.

    The only way to clear the dirty bit is a success of chkdsk /r and if she will not clear at the start of your system, I would run it from the XP Recovery Console so you can watch it run and if you like, run it again until it runs its own.  You cannot check the good bit of impurity of the XP Recovery Console, but you can see what chkdsk/r.

    Since we don't know anything about your system, here are some instructions for making a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and from there, you can run chkdsk/r until it comes clean.

  • How will I know if ChkDsk fixed bad sectors?

    Original title: Chkdsk results

    Windows tries to "fix" or "repair" them, but anyway, the hard drive

    is endangered... Get ready to have more problems, too, even

    have the hd as a 'slave' to another hd (c), the data will get corrupted, and

    worse still, coming just missing. HD replacement is relatively cheap...

  • CHKDSK is stuck in step 4 of 5 since last night (around 20 hours) what can I do?

    So, recently, I had problems with the computer is slow and what not, I thought that it was a virus or malware, so I ran several antivirus/malware scans and they found nothing. I'm fairly certain that's not any virus or malware/adware/etc.

    Then, my computer bluescreened... I managed to use the system recovery to be able to start up again, even if she continues slowly. I checked the event log and saw that this is very likely defective on my hard drive. Then, I ran chkdsk to fix if all goes well, and so far it seemed to go well. CHKDSK went through steps 1-3 in all 20 minutes, removing corrupted files or the index entries, then recovering files and other things. Then he got to step 4 of 5, where he says he checks the file data... This part was considerably slower, but I don't think anything of it... It seemed that it worked well, so I thought it was good. He replaced bad clusters in a couple of files and continued until it takes... "12% percent complete.  (86522 474032 processed files) "now he has been stuck there for nearly 24 hours." I'm afraid to stop the computer, manually because I don't know if that will cause more permanent damage.

    What should I do? Help, please! I have Windows Vista 64-bit, fully implemented to date.
    P.S. I saw this post http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/please-help-chkdsk-stuck-in-stage-4-of-5-at-6-for/88cd9d55-d457-49a1-a299-50941a678d15 and I seem to have the same problem. Unfortunately, this message has not responded, and I can't find an answer to this problem. (Same as this poster, I too hear the computer that runs always, so it scares me to turn it off while chkdsk is running)

    Two choices. Wait or force close.

    You can try to quit smoking first of all the process in the Task Manager, but I suspect it will take a forced shutdown

    [1] method: Using Check Disk to find the files corrupt
    • In the start menu, look for invites
    • Right click on command prompt and select run as administrator
    • When the application starts, insert the following text and press ENTER: Chkdsk.exe/f/x k:
      Where we mean K:  the disc damaged.
    NOTICE: Check disk is maybe not able to lock the drive and launch the operation if the disk contains files required for Windows to run correctly. It asks if you want to schedule a check disk at the next startup upwards instead.

    Hello

    Do the following and check:

    Step 1:

    Try to do a Scan of the SFC (System File Checker). The scan will look bad system files and will attempt to fix them, if possible.

    (a) click the Start button.
    (b) type: cmd.exe in the search results.
    (c) right click the cmd.exe file and select 'run as administrator '.
    (d) in the CMD window, type: sfc/scannow and press the Enter key.
    (e) restart and see if that solves the problem.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Step 2:

    If the problem persists, you can also scan your computer the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Let us know if it helps.
