I tried 'Scheduling disk check' from both cmd and tools but every time I restart my computer, or turn it off and then on, it will skip the chkdsk and start Windows normally.I am getting a lot of 'corrupted file' errors and it's suggesting I run a chkdsk, but like I said, I can't figure out a way to do so. It's causing me a big headache.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to install windows 7 from dvd on a hdd previously used as a second drive for space. I got a computer from work that didn't have an hdd and so just plugged it in. I set the bios to boot from the dvd drive but after the bios loads, it goes to a black screen with 2 numbers at the bottom right. They flash for a bit and then settle on 94 and it just hangs there indefinitely. I have absolutely no idea how to proceed here. I have tried resetting the bios settings but nothing seems to get me past this point.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. When I go to Start, Computer, to view my internal and external hdd's I see that my WD 1 TB is in the red even though there is 76,3 GB of free space; My Book 2TB is in the red even though there is 23,3 GB of free space. To me that is a LOT of free space on each of these two external hdd's. My question is, with so much available free space of each hdd why are they pictured in the red? I could understand if I had only a few gig's of free space but 76 and 23 GB? My guest is that Windows uses a red color whenever a certain percentage of the hdd is used but I am not sure.

I got everything on friday and have been trying to get it to work. I put everything together as instructed and have checked multiple times. The system will turn on and every device has power and all the fans turn and lights light up. However i can't get windows 7 64bit to install. First off it takes a good 5-15 minutes to either enter bios setup or get it to let me boot off a dvd(already changed boot order) and after this point with the windows 64 bit disc in the drive it comes up with a "windows is loading files" bar which fills, goes away, returns, fills again, then goes away. at this point all that appears is a small scattering of dots about an inch off the bottom of the screen. I have had the 32 bit go past this point but have not installed it.
I used the 64 bit disc on my laptop with the ssd and was able to install it but the new build would get the same scattering of dots when i try to boot from this so i am formating the ssd again and will attempt to go through the entire 32 bit installation.
Edit- I have also flashed to the latest bios that asus has for the board and the 5-15 minute boot consists of a black screen for a minute or so followed by the asus screen teelling me to push delete to enter bios setup, then whether i do or not it shows the same set of black and asus screens two more times before doing anything (once again very slowly)
Windows 7 won't even begin to install my Word 2000 disc. I had trouble with the Vista OS too, it wouldn't recognize the product key.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run CHKDSK on an external drive that appears to have some bad sectors. I get the standard "Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode." error. Elsewhere in this forum are similar complaints that tell me I must run the CHKDSK command as Administrator and get a command prompt that reads "C:Windowssystem32>" instead of "C:UsersAdministration>". Well by running the cmd.exe command as Administrator I finally got the recommended command prompt (the "elevated" command prompt some are calling it).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI made a chkdsk and found errors which were repaired by not allowing the bad fragments to be written on. When I use chkdsk /v it continually shows 8kb in bad sectors. Does anyone know if these are the bad sectors that were sent into limbo or the total bad kb on the hard drive? I have made back ups of my documents and the OS. I think that these bad sectors were caused by a recent freeze which required a bad shutdown. If so I may not be required to replace the harddrive.

After hitting âOKâ on each message and typing my password Windows logged me on to a temporary profile.
I went to my C: drive and tried to run the chkdsk but I got this message: âWindows canât check the disk while itâs in use.â So I chose to schedule a disk check next time I log on. Then I restarted and let chkdsk run. Then I got this error message:
âCannot open volume for direct access.

I then skipped check disk and tried to System Restore and got this error message:
âThe disk C: has errors
Windows has detected file system corruption on C: you must check the disk for errors before it can be restored.â
Windows seems to be taking me in circles, and I am unsure of what to do. I would really like to avoid reinstalling windows and starting from scratch.
If anyone has had this problem or knows what to do, any help would be appreciated.
I wanted to delete a folder in my documents but it was giving me an error which I cannot remember exactly now, but after doing some research, most sites had suggested that I run a Chkdsk. My computer successfully completed the Chkdsk, but now my computer is in some sort of coma where it loads up fine, but after logging in, there is no text whatsoever on the screen. On top of this the start bar does not work and any explorer based functions are extremely large,pixelated and absent text.I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x32 on a 2009 Toshiba Satellite In the last year of high school and don't have most of my files backed up anywhere?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from Vista to Win 7 using the HP upgrade disk. About every 2 weeks chkdsk will start at startup. The countdown won't stop and I can't skip it by pressing any key. When it counts down to 1 it freezes and I had to press the power button to restart. Then when it restarts the problem reoccurs.
In the past if I press F8 and choose last known good configuration, the system will normally boot. And then I'll schedule a disk check next time I start the computer and this will normally fix the problem. There won't be any check disk error in 2 weeks.
But this time no matter what I do I can't get it fixed. sfc /scannow didn't find any errors. I ran the system repair by pressing F8 at startup and it said it fixed the startup problems. But the disk check I scheduled at startup still won't run properly. It shows up and then disappears without actually doing anything.
I'm using Avira now but the problem was there when I was using Avast. I don't know what might be causing the problem.
OK, so, after discovering that EVENT VIEWER had errors regarding my 500GB drive having bad clusters, I decided to make a "CHKDSK E: /F /R" (where E: is my 500GB drive).So, when doing small tasks with it running, I found that my computer went terribly slow... Memory is at 90% of usage (1.8GB on 2GB). CHKDSK in the processes says it's using 1 192 588 K of RAM o_O

View 9 Replies View Relatedmy computer was not booting up so last night I went to the built in startup repair in Windows 7 and through the command prompt did a "chkdsk c: /f /b" which I saw online. It took about 15 hrs to get where it is at now which it finished the stage 5 and now says "Free space verification is complete." I thought that meant it finished but im assuming not because it won't let me type in the CMD box. Its been at this point for about 2 hours now and im wondering if I should try to shut down and boot up my computer or wait out until it does more. Also during stage 4 it said a couple times that windows repaired bad clusters?

View 5 Replies View RelatedThe past few days my computer has been giving me many errors. The way it started were lag spikes. I had opened word to write a bit, and it started lagging alot. My computer has always been fast, and although it could sometimes slightly slow down, it was never this bad. I mean, it was slower than my old laptop with 1gb of ram. I saved and closed word, and went to task manager to troubleshoot if there were problems. All normal. I closed task manager, and went to the start menu to shut down, just in time to get a Bsod. Yes I would love to share any dump files, however i now barely can access it (I just managed to run cmd for a bit) since windows explorer keeps crashing. Ok, so the only thing i know about the bsod is that it gave me the "KERNEL_INPAGE_ERROR", giving the the error code 0x000007e(i think). Also what i noticed was that the error when explorer.exe crashes it gives me the InPage error too. A bit of Google searching easily revealed that the INPAGE ERROR is often related to hard drive problems. Then, the next day, when i restarted the computer it went to chkdsk, (i never scheduled it) and scanned. What caught my eye was that it said "Recovering Orphaned File ### in directory ###, and it said there was not enough space on the drive" (where ### is was a random number that meant absolutely nothing to me) in some points. So the probability that i have a defective drive was getting higher. I decided i needed to do a virus check, but the result was a simple advertising software, which told nothing of the story, so i knew this wasn't a virus cause. I started up my computer, and, although explorer.exe kept crashing literally every 5 seconds, i managed to open up cmd prompt, and typed in "chkdsk /r /f' for a deeper scan. I restarted the system and let it run for a rough 4,5 hours. It founds many bad cluster and apparently "replaced" them. It found bad cluster everywhere on my drive, from files in system32 to my minecraft worlds! Now, I have just started another scan (it is still running) and it pointed out those exact same bad cluster and said it was replacing them.
So the big question is: Is my drive failing? Or is it just windows which is screwed up?
I am really hoping to get over this problem as soon as possible, because, even though i have this laptop i used to write this, my desktop computer is important too.
As for the memory dump files and chkdsk logs, they should be on my computer, and ill post them as soon as chkdsk finishes.
I just started up my Toshiba laptop after it overheated and shut down, and Windows showed the Starting Windows screen, then I got a black screen with chkdsk running on it.
