Unable to read the security descriptors data stream

Whenever I start my computer runs CHKDSK - it says checking file system on E: and then he said that it should be checked for consistency. It works until stage 3 when he says 'impossible to read the security descriptors data stream' how to fix this?

I tried chkdsk e:/r and it runs before step 3 when I get the "unable to read the security descriptors data stream" and it goes no further.

I also tried fsutil dirty query e:- but it says something about a parameter incorrect and not if the volume is dirty or clean.

Then I tried chkdsk e:/f/x - that always gives me the same mistake about it being an incorrect setting.

As far as I know there is absolutely nothing on E:, I didn't even know that there was an additional drive. Right now I have it turned off so that I can use my computer. It seems to work fine without it. I read an article that said that if I can't fix e: with chkdsk which I have to do a low-level format of the reader? What's my next step? And I can do without the XP disc?

The syntax

fsutil dirty query e:

is correct (except, of course, you try to use from the Recovery Console, where the fsutil command is not available).  Are you logged on as a user with administrative rights when you use fsutil?

Similarly, the switches /f and/x are not available for chkdsk in the Recovery Console.

See Recovery Console controls.

Click on desktop then right-click on E: drive icon and select Properties.  What is indicated for:

  • File system
  • Space used
  • Free space
  • Capacity

Now double click the icon for E: are shown files?  If not, click Tools > Folder Options > view and select the radio button "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system.  Now that you see all the files?

Everything you read 'low level of shaped' is nonsense.  Any modern PC drive cannot be low level formatted by end users.  You can read this, but there is really no necessary even to "zero fill" your drive E: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=203931 (I have not checked to see if the WD tools rescuer has similar characteristics to SeaTools for DOS).

If you are convinced that there is nothing of value on E (for example, installation of backup or restore), you can either format by right-clicking on the drive icon in my computer and selecting "format" or you can start disk management as described previously and use either in electronic format or delete the partition completely.  If you delete the partition, space becomes "unallocated".

Because I guess C is your system drive (where Windows is), you may be able to use the diskpart tool to extend the partition F to use the unallocated space left if you decide to remove E well it's much easier (and safer) to do with disk management third-party tools such as Easeus Partition Manager free : http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm

  • Error DVD HD Qosmio G30-153 - unable to read the

    After 6 months of great HD DVDV watched a (although four actual playing time) I am now unable to play any DVD HD but rather to get a message saying "cannot read. Restart the computer. event code: 6 ".

    Have deleted the program Toshiba HD DVD and rebooted from the CD backup 'Drivers and tools', but nothing helped.
    Audio CD and DVD std works ok, but not HD DVD. Sometimes I get a black screen, the small Control Panel indicates a part playing iis. (e) the pointer moves from left to right, but no sound is heard.

    Is the drive of player components of these laptops prone to failure?

    All the advice accepted with gratitude.

    Same thing happened to my machine. Although 'the Chronicles of Riddick' plays very well. I bought the 'Bourne' collection and get this error message on all 3 drives, so I think it has to do with the security of coding on the DVD itself. I bought this machine to play these things.

    I hope someone out there can help.

  • : Error at the start of the disk system check "Windows is unable to read the disc.

    Original title: Probem with Partition

    My laptop has a 'C' and 'E' of the hard drives. The system works on 'C' drive 'E' is mainly used for personal files/documents/pictures/etc.. For some reason, the 'E' drive is unreadable/corrupted. The properties option displays no space left "ALL BLUE". The check disk option does not work and it says that Windows cannot read the disk.

    I don't know what happened. One minute, he was working, then it is not.

    Ideas and solutions will be appreciated.

    Moreover, from the computer goes straight to the disk check. Loads of messages about unable to read are displayed.

    I am running Vista SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro.

     
    Hi Louis Harrison.
     
    1. what exactly happens when you open the E drive?
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Check the permissions on E:
    a. Click Start, click computer.
    b. right-click on E:, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the Security tab, select your username under "names of users and groups" and check if it has "Full control" if she's not here, and then give full control access.
     
    Step 2: Look for disk errors
    a. see check your hard drive for errors
    b. restart the computer and check the result.

  • 25 Firefox is unable to read the configuration file on new install

    I try to install Firefox 25.0 on a XP - SP3 machine and receive the error "failed to read the Configuration file. Please contact your system administrator. I use a file to mozilla.cfg that I created and that you have applied to previous versions. The mozillia.cfg file has entries Pref lock, which are formatted as follows:

    I have read discussions on various forums and the recommended fix seems to be a "clean reinstall. This machine has never installed Firefox, so a clean reinstall is not an option.

    As noted by one side this version of Firefox will be not to read the config on any OS file I tried Win7 or XP, I did a clean reinstall on both of these machines with the same results.

  • Satellite M30X: reader will not read the DVD-R data but plays movies in DVD-R and CD

    I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
    I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.
    However, when I put the DVD in the drive of Toshiba combi, it clicks for a moment or two, but when I click on the combi drive in my computer, the folder is empty and it is said there are 0 bytes.
    CD of still works, audio and data, DVD movies fine, reading DVD-R on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) plays very well, but he won't recognise DVD - r with data (JPEG or MP3) on them.

    It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.
    However, these discs work perfectly in my old office to 7 years with a Sony DVD/CDRW combination of 4 years.
    I'm puzzled.
    I don't particularly want to reinstall windows, in the case where it does not recognize the recovery DVDs and I remember Microsoft a Note having activated by phone with a code that is different every time you ask him to generate a.
    It's a bit of pain that I wanted to make my pictures with me in my laptop bag.
    I won't be carting around an external DVD burner just to read the DVD.
    I've updated the firmware for SD - R 2512.
    He had no other effect freeze on a black screen on restart - I had to hold down the switch 15 minutes in this State.
    The laptop is 1 year and 26 days if that counts for anything.

    Anyone have any ideas? Or can I just put up with him.

    Hello

    Well, I can only make suggestions.
    You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
    This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

    Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
    You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

    But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
    I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.
