Defrag Check Disk Did Not Work
May 7, 2010I'm new here, so I'll try not to screw up my post. I have Home Premium Vista, 64bit and 688GB hard drive(size when checking C: drive). I recently checked and it showed less than half full. Then a few days ago I tried saving a file and I got disk full message. I checked the c: drive again and it showed full- no space available, which should not be. I did a defrag, check disk and that did not work. I do remember seeing a warning around that time, but it vanished before I read it all. I think it said a file was not working or was corrupted and may have said something about "Catalyst". I found Catalyst Control Center on my computer, but that seems to be ATI card (graphics card?). I did delete a bunch of junk so it can now function, but latest check still shows only 72 MB available and that can't be.

Jul 15, 2009I have been playing around with my Vista for some days now. I patched my registry to account for custom visual styles and all. The computer responded fine to all these changes until today. I installed Desktop Maestro 3.0.0.830 which according to the internet is a decent registry cleaner and works with vista sp2.
What I learnt from the net is that desktop maestro will clean registry and will quicken my startup. So i ran it, and it came up with 937 problems in my registry. So the next thing i did was "Repair". and it did just that. But since then my computer hasn't been starting up at all. Before the login screen comes, i get a blue screen, which remains for too short a time for me to read, and reboots.
Turned the computer on in Safe Mode, which worked perfectly. Ran desktop maestro again, and restored the computer to a previous state. This didn't work. it kept saying C: has some errors please check. But the disk check doesnt work.......

Complete Backup (Disk Image) To Backup
Jan 15, 2010I always use vista complete backup (Disk Image) to backup both my hard disks, but I am a bit confused as to the restore options. Basically, I have a sneaky suspition that one of the drives is going to fail in the near future, so I backup quite regularly, but when I replace it, I want to get a bigger drive, as it's only a 150gig raptor, and I really would prefer a 500 or 1TB 7200rpm drive for storage.
Can vista restore the files I backed up on D: (the 150gig) to a new D: which would be a large disk ? If it can, could I also do the same for C: which is where vista is located? If that doesn't work,
Backup Failure
Jan 15, 2008I am using Vista Home Premium. I tried to back up my hard drive to a Western Digital removable HD using Vista Backup and Restore. The backup failed and I got a message that read: "The backup target drive G: failed with the following error: The backup disk has a corrupted file system. Fix it using the disk error checking tool or choose a different backup location. (0x81000008)" I cannot find "the disk error checking tool". I have backed up using this removable HD a couple of times already.

Mar 23, 2008I cannot make a backup with Vista Home Premium 32bit. Whenever I try, I get this nondescriptive error: 0x80070002 and Vista claims it cannot find some file (But it doesn't say which one.) Also trying to adjust 'automatic backup' results in the same error. I cannot change anything in my backupsetting, I always get this error. So I cannot start a backup by hand, nor run automatic backup. This has been like this for months. My system has a RAID1 SATA array. I try to backup to an external USB drive (Lacie, formatted NTFS with enough diskspace). Is Vista backup broken beyond repair on my machine?
View 6 Replies View RelatedDisk Boot Failure "INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
May 9, 2009I changed the Boot sequence to CD first, then HDD. Everything ran fine and vista seemingly loaded perfectly. After moving some files from my backup drive back onto my main one and installing some drivers, I was asked to restart my computer (for the drivers) so I did. Remembering that the boot sequence was still set on CD first, and since my driver CD was still in the drive, I decided to set the boot sequence back to the way I had it with XP: HDD and then CD. After doing this I quit BIOS and tried to boot, but I kept getting a message saying: DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
So I restarted the computer again, this time with my Vista CD in the drive, and again, the computer wouldn't boot and told me to enter a boot disk. Not knowing what to do, I went back into BIOS and changed the boot sequence back to CD first, then HD. After doing this, and restarting with the Vista CD in the drive, my computer booted up with no problems whatsoever. I tried reinstalling Vista (twice), reformatting the target hard drive, changing the boot sequence around, pretty much everything I could think of......

Dec 5, 2008My sister bring me a lap top Acer Extensa 4420, the problem is that every time you boot, Vista checks the C: drive looking for problems and the reset, after the reset Vista checks again the disk and reset again, doing this in a infinite way...
Before the chkdisk program start you have the option to skip it, if you do so you get a screen saying "Vista is Configuring the update 3/3" and then restart again...
The lap top have a rescue partition, with an auto-fix option, but it didin't worked, it was on running it all the night

Check Disk. Stopped
May 15, 2010About 6 months ago I ran a Check Disk of my C Drive (using the Vista Error Checking tool), and checked both boxes before starting (Auto fix file system errors and Scan for/attempt recovery of bad sectors).
It ran thru the 1st 5 of the 6 checks without finding an error.
On the 6th and final check it runs, it hung (or the 4th of the 5 checks it runs - can't remember if it's 5 or 6 it runs). . I believe it began the check, but stopped and didn't move any further. A few hours later it still hadn't moved, so I did a hard shutdown....
Rectified By Check Disk
Mar 23, 2008A couple of questions:
1) On xp I could always use Windows Key + F to find such files as Charmap.exe, or files supporting my sound card - that sort of thing. This doesn't apply in Vista. Is there an equivalent?
2) How common is it that a healthy computer with Vista installed will succumb to application malfunctions that can be rectified by Check Disk? My laptop was new 2 weeks ago and apparently the hardware is in good shape, but I've had to do a couple of check disks.

Jun 1, 2008My laptop is newish. Maybe 2 months now. The model is Advent and I'm running Vista Home Premium. The checker wants to check the Vista drive for consistency. It want's to scan 3 stages. I only gets to the first stage and displayes someting along the lines of:
......
Deleted corrupt entry
Type code 128 File 19611
Deleting corrupt record
Segment 11459
Readable/writable file not re writable. And then does nothing after this. If this information is not enough I will re do the scan and take down everything displayed. But what can be the problem? I download nothing and scan it daily. I have touched no system files and have only had a small handful of crashes. Is this proble something somebody knows how to solve. This laptop was bought for me and I cannot afford to have it repaired.

Jul 29, 2009I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64. My computer boots up fine gets to the windows splash screen then does chkdsk and freezes after checking drive C:. Restarting causes it to get to the Windows splash screen again and run chkdsk and freeze after checking C:. I cannot get out of this loop as my keyboard stops working at the Windows splash screen. Even using a PS2 keyboard has the same result. I have tried the following: Going into the vista repair setup thing running command prompt and typing chkntfs /x c: d: e: and then restarting. it still runs chkdsk it still freezes and I still cannot skip chkdsk. I sheduled these myself but did not expect them to freeze. I cannot stop them from checking and every time I let it run through it freezes.

May 8, 2010I've never really had any problems with my computer acting up. I decided to add 2GB more RAM to my system this morning. Once I finally got them in there after much prodding and force I turned on my machine only to get this dreaded error message. I made sure the cords were still connected to the hard drive. I then took the RAM that I had just added back out but the error message still persists unfortunately. I'm wondering if anyone might have a suggestion as to other techniques I can try to get my system working again. I am currently running Vista Home Premium 32bit.

Mar 19, 2009I run vista 32 bit. I'm pretty sure it's Vista personal (PC didn't actually come with a Vista disk). I only use it for music and games,basic stuff. It's a Compaq....It shat itself recently, it wouldn't boot, so i borrowed the Vista Business disk from my dad to repair it/disk boot, and it worked fine, that was a couple days ago. Today it happened again, except it won't repair the same way. I start it up, it goes to the Compaq startup screen with 4 options; [Esc] Boot menu, [F9] Diagnostics, [F10] Setup, [F11] System recovery. Except I can never go to the diagnostics or system recovery menus, i press the keys and nothing happens. Then when i don't press anything it goes to a black screen with "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter", so i do. Then it says "Windows is loading files" with a white bar below, once that's done it goes to the Microsoft Coporation green load bar that scrolls across over and over. Then it suddenly stops for a few minutes and a blue screen appears saying
