Use restore disk errors impossible C and error checking failed to open NTFS file system. Pleas help
I try to use System. restore and it says drive C contains errors, you should check the drive for errors before you can restore it. When I run an error check it say this type of file system is NTFS: cannot open the volume for direct access. Thanks for any help.
Hello GregID,
My recommendation based on your response is to do the following:
- Click Start and type 'CMD'
in the search bar. - Right-click on the cmd finds it and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Type ' CHKDSK/f'
and press on it, if it says restart.
This should allow the system to run CHKDSK in the window that is already open.
Best regards

Where can I find a 'disk error checking Tool '.
I received an error when I tried to us MS Backup that the backup was unsuccessful, but it does not give me an error as shown in the threads (0 x 81000002). He has just declared that there is a corrupted file and I should use a 'disk error checking Tool '. My question is, where can I find it? I am running Vista, service pack 2. Appreciate any help you can offer.

Just run chkdsk from the command prompt
Start > run > CMD
Chkdsk /f
Type 'Y' and press ENTER when he says that he cannot do that now because the drive is in use. Then restart your computer and it will check your drive and try to fix the errors. Randall

When I try to install it it comes up with an error about 16% in the installation, saying that there is a disk error when you write to the file C\:Program files (x 86) \microsoft games\dungeon siege\resources\objects.dsres
Any ideas?
Hi MouseToe,
What version of Dungeon Siege you trying to install?
The cause of this problem could be the corrupted resource (.dsres) file or disk error. Here are some things you can do to solve the problem.
Method 1: Run the disk check.
Check the integrity of your hard disk for lost clusters and errors.
To do this, follow the steps in this article: check a drive for errors
Method 2: Defragment the hard disk.
This improves the performance of your hard drive.
Reference: improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive
Method 3: Run the game as administrator.
Here's how:
(a) right click on the game configuration file.
(b) choose 'Run as administrator'.
Method 4: Try to install the game in a different folder or to a different drive
Try to install the game in a different folder. If the computer has another hard disk, try to install the game on the other hard drive.
Follow these steps.
a. Insert the game disc in the drive.
Note: Do not click on Quick Installation during installation.
b. follow the setting menus until you see the change button.
c. click change.
d. in the path box, delete the existing path, and then type the following text:
drive: \Program Files\Microsoftgame name Games\
In this example,drive is the letter of the hard disk drive and the name of the game is the name of the game you are trying to install.
e. click OK when finished.
f. follow the instructions that appear on the screen to install the game.
This should be it.

I can not and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box. Firefox displays gooblygook, even if the name of file is an html element, the Notepad of Windows crashes, MS Excel does not recognize the file type. MS Word also displays goobblys when the file has no file extension.
If you use the file printing, then you will get a file that is supposed to be sent to a printer, and this file has any sort of code formatting for this printer.
Open such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use one printer for text to print the file to, then make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

Output Designer 5.7 errors - error 1804 could not open configuration file
Hello... Reception of error messages relating to the newly installed Output Designer 5.7. Installed on the new laptop Win7.
Error # 5903 - you must select a printer before the Save.
Error # 1804 - failed to open the configuration file "... \Config\PDF." INTERNET CONNECTION FIREWALL.
The last error, error # 1804, closes the application. File does not exist in the path. Tried to uninstall and reinstall with the same result.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Elena.
Hi Elena
This is probably caused by the lack of administrator rights on Windows 7. I've seen this problem in my company.
When you install Adobe Output Designer it will be placed in ProgramFiles which corresponds to your C:\Program Files folder.
In the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Output Designer 5.7\Config subfolder, there are several configuration files that control your printer drivers (presentation targets). Depends on what type of user you are in Win 7 you might not have write access to files in this folder. When you can't write to this folder, you can make changes to your printer drivers or install new ones and you're stuck pretty well.
Solution: Create the C:\MyPrograms folder and install Adobe Output Designer here.

Hello
I'm transforming a book in PDF and I get the error message unable to open a file (... < Filename > FM) and the dialog box unavailable fonts also appears. The tricky thing is that I converted the same book in PDF just a couple of days. Now, when I tried to do it again, I'm getting the above mentioned error message. I have tried if you deselect the file > Prefrences > General > remember checkbox missing fonts too. However, it did not help to generate the PDF file. I will be grateful if someone offers a workaround solution for this issue. Thanks in advance.
Usually, deselection Remember lack of fonts work.
The missing fonts message when you or FrameMaker opens the file. The solution is to open all the files in the book, or at least those with the "missing" font, clear the message for each file. Now print the book in PDF format, while keeping open files. It usually works because you already erased the messages of missing fonts.

boot problems after "disk error-checking/control - automatically fix file system errors.
I ran the two options 'check disk' after deleting some old programs and was prompted to restart. When it restarts it was all white screen, then I stop after waiting a few minutes using the power button. now it won't start at all - I have white screen and cannot even get into safe mode by pressing F8. white screen and the fan runs. I is not original boot CD, so tried a CD recovery Norton but would not start from that. I checked the monitor cables.
It's a 2002 eveshamvale:
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build 2600)
Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. 8ID533 1.x
The bus clock: 100 MHz
BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG 11/11/2002would be grateful for any ideas.
Thank youIf 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.
This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.
The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:
xp_rec_con. ISO
Download the ISO from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig
Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:
Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:
http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61
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.
When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:
Press any key to boot from CD...
Installing Windows... going to pronounce.
Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.
Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)
You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).
You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS. It's the same as the
C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.
The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.
For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP 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.
You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
