According to Vista Back-up, I apparently have errors on my external hard drive that I use for back-up.
You can't do that whilst it is 'in use' yet it's always in use as soon as you start the computer (though I don't see why).
How can I perform a chkdsk on this drive? I'm using Vista Business 64-bit.
I have just installed a new USB external hard disc and although I have set it up to be shared and it appears on the network, I can't access it from other computers on the network. When I try tro access the drive I get an access denied, 0x80070005 error, saying I don't have the right path or password.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an external hard drive, I reformated it so I could use Vista's backup.Now it seems that when my brother inlaw tries to put some music files(Itunes) that the hard disc is unavailable to his computer. At this stage it seems that Vista has conned me into destroying a perfectly good WD harddrive!I have created a second partion on the hard drive and I am reformatting that, as I write this, but the only formatting option seems to be this NTFS, and that is what I had already formatted the ExtHD to so I think this formatting will be to no avail!From what I can figure I need to format into FAT but I tried a quick format an ex-fat option was there, but the problem was the same. I am becoming more frustrated with Vista, seems I just keep running into things that should be simple and aren't!

View 5 Replies View Related"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create and association in the Set Associations control panel" I have been having a problem with my computer for several days now. Opening all programs causes me to recieve this error message. I have to use right click + Run as Administrator to use any of my programs. I have done some forum surfing and tried several recommended techniques for correcting this problem but to no avail. I downloaded the exefix_vista reg file but the very same problem prevents me from merging it (I even tried fixing the reg extension but that failed aswell). I have run the sfc/scannow in command propmt but that came up empty. I would have fresh installed but I am away from home and do not have the means to reinstall vista. I apologize if this post seems in any way redundant but my forum searches have failed me. HELP! PLEASE!

I purchased a Dell XPS M1330 with window vista 64 bit around Nov' 2008. I was so happy with my computer and was using it until it crashed on me last month =[Dell support told me that my hard drive was crashed so I was trying to get access to my pictures from my old external hard drive... However my Western Digital External Hard drive 500 GB has given me a hard time to access. [. I've tried many different ways to access my external hard drive but I have not been able to access it at all. I have tried
1. device manage -> designated the drive as J:
2. tried using CHKDSK j: /r/f -> but aborted due to unknown reason
3. tried using CHKDsK j: /r/x -> insufficient disk space to repair master file table mirrors; CHKDSK aborted. (I've done these methods by searching online... xD)
Here is my situation and I do not know what is the cause. In the past week four out of five times when I boot up my Vista computer after the initial post Vista is invoked. During the boot process the program wants to run CHKDSK because it says there is some problem on my c drive. Chkdsk goes through all steps and when done and reports the status of what it did it reports no bad sectors, nothing being repaired. Vista then restarts and then goes as though there were no problems. The next time I boot up if on the same day it will usually not request to run chkdsk. However, after the PC has been shut down for a period and then booted up CHKDSK will then again be run unless I abort the process.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have tried run chkdsk /f and chkdsk /f /v as an administrator. I have also tried through the tabs in My computer. I select the option to run chkdsk at startup but it bypasses an goes right into windows. Is there something I am missing. I really need to fix this because I am getting errors in the Log saying I need to run chkdsk.
View 4 Replies View Relatedchkdsk won't run at startup. Vista Business SP1, Lenovo 30000 N100. I've tried everything including:
- command line chkdsk c: /F
- sfc /scannow
- chkntfs (which says C: is dirty)
- changing registry .../Session Manager/BootExedute value to "autocheck autochk *"
- replacing autochk.exe with 6.0.6001.18000 version
- safe mode boot & command line chkdsk c: /F
DD has a HP Pavilion dv2000. Last week it starting saying that chkdsk needed to run on start up (there might be a problem). At first it ran to 4% and then stopped - appears to freeze. She left it running all night and then brought it to me. I let run over 5 hours.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently have been trying to transfer some footage I took with a camera off a MicroSD card to my computer, but when I go to copy the file, I get an error bubble on the taskbar saying
"QuickTimePlayerMain: QuickTimePlayer.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory /DCIM/100MEDIA/FILE001.MOV is corrupt and unreadable.
Please run the Chkdsk utility"
I opened up Chkdsk on my laptop and opened up Chkdsk as administrator (Whenever I just double clicked the command prompt box for Chkdsk would just appear then dissappear)
I tried to type in a command prompt after Chkdsk asked me the file type in the fist line but no input would occur. It then began to check itself and everything on the computer.
I would really like to retrieve the footage on the card since I will never be able to capture those memories again.
Check Disk Gets to Stage 2 17% And just stops.
Brings up the next line awaiting another command as if it finished.
I've tried Doing a System Restore But it cant since the files are apparently corrupted and check disk cant fix them because it doesnt get far enough to find them in the first place. Just wondering if anyone here could give me a tip on what to do. I would reinstall it but my computer didn't come with a vista disk.
I checked all the solutions for XP, and I tried (I suppose ) all of them, but I still cannot get chkdsk /f to work when I boot Vista Ultimate.

It shows 112654681 to be checked and it is has been stuck at 9123650 for about 30 minutes now. What could this mean? Do I need to just leave it be, or how do I stop it at this point?
