My computer will not get past the file checking screen where it stops the countdown at 1 and does nothing. No matter what I press it won't boot up, it always freezes and does nothing. I went into startup options, and did every diagnostic test there, all came up 100% Ok, that took over 6 hours. And I still can't get past the screen. I have close to 1000 episodes of tv on there, I really don't want to lose everything...
View 3 RepliesI used to have that annoying check for disk consistency thing when you boot up so I just let it go and afterwards now programs like Itunes Rhapsody and some other programs just wont open. I click on them and the mouse pointer goes into loading icon like its about to open but then nothing opens.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy hp dv3t has been giving a message about checking a disk for consistency every time I reboot(ed) for about a week now, but today it froze after the countdown reaches zero (for bypassing the procedure)�nothing I do can get it past this step. What do I do? I tried booting from Safe Mode, it listed a bunch of drivers but then froze.I'm using W7 64-bit Home Premium.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAnyways, every time I try to schedule a "Check Disk" it NEVER starts on a restart. I already did the "sfc /scannow" command on the cmd prompt. In fact it said it was UNABLE to fix some problems. I have attached a file of my "SFC scan log". Inside it says it was unable to fix "Chkdsk.exe" Go figure. Alright, just some extra information. I also think my computer is confused of itself . I mean, it seems to not know if its a 64 bit or a 86 bit! I was told to install a hotfix for "Chkdsk.exe" here [URL]. But it did NOT work. I attempted to install both 64 bit AND 86 bit hotfixes, and yes they were both windows 7 (Chkdsk.exe) hotfixes.
My system specs:
- Toshiba Qosmio X505 Laptop-
Windows 7 64bit (Yes it says 64 bit but I've tried to install other kinds of hotfixes for both 64 and 86 bits and none of them worked!)
Intel Core i5
4gb Ram
Nvidia Geforce GTS 360M
I wanted to do the checkdisk action for my computer, it fails, and saying I have to use system restore to get rid of a recent software package installation.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Windows 7 needs to getting past a blue screen at start-up after I restarted during a slow diskcheck I scheduled. The screen suggests disabling or uninstalling any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. It says to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption and then restart the computer. I already tried safe mode but even that gives me the same blue screen. I assume the computer wants me to continue the disk check it started, but how? Restarting doesn't continue the disk check because it's been canceled with ESC. Is there any way for me to enter a command prompt so that I can type CHKDSK /F? I just want to cancel any problems causing this blue screen, whether that means forcing a disk check somehow or turning it off somehow. The stop number is 0x00000024.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI run a windows 7 7600 build, which is not genuine. About two weeks ago, nearly every time I booted my computer, iId get "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency" message, while windows would carry on with the said process, isolating, replacing and deleting all files necessary. I run a full scan, with my avg, found no virus, did some more scans, and the said process has stopped occuring. However, since this has stopped, my computer has been consistently and very much frequently been freezing processes and applications for a period of 2-20 seconds.
Games would freeze on their tracks (especially frustrating on the online short) photoshop brushes would stop rendering, movies would stop their videos (oddly sometimes the sound carries on), internet explorers would stop loading etc. etc. I've defragmented my 0% fragmented drives, just in case, yet the problem persists. I saw somewhere that windows might be pulling this trick, so i'd get the genuine ones. but i can't imagine that's the case, because windows have detected my version as not genuine for a couple of months now, (run as genuine for about half a year before).
I have an WD external hard disc,its showing data error (cyclic redundancy check) and its also showing to format the disc.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI ran a disk check today. It seemed to go as normal, but when it finished my windows 7 pc didn't start.

PC won't start in safe mode. Recovery disk doesn't work. Can't get pc started at all.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy computer rebooted while I slept, so I went and checked the Windows Logs for my System. Found out it was KERNEL-Power but that appears to have also taken our router and my brother's computer so I can safely assume something went wonky with the power.However, I did notice a pair of errors, both occurring a little while before the reboot, for bad blocks on my harddisk. Obviously, I decided to do a disk check.I tried to run the first one on my primary partition, C, and for that had to reboot since it holds Windows. The check ran fine for a few moments, but got stuck on a certain point when processing index (Step 2). Rebooting so it would try again got to the exact same point and was stuck.Currently running on the other partition of my main harddisk. So far so good, but I'll update if that one gets stuck as well.

I am now doing a disk check and it was progressing fine till now. the screen says stage 5 of 5 97% (82135612 of 84678825 free clusters processed) for over and hour and the HDD light is no longer on. any advice as to what I should do? I have heard that forcing the system to reboot during a disk check can ruin your system so I don't want to do that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThough it was likely foolish of me to keep putting it off I can no longer run a disk check. The 10 second timer stops itself at 10 and proceeds to the log in screen. Not sure if it's important but my "l" key is broken and I was told that that key being broken may be counting as the "press any key to skip dick check". If that is the issue is there any way around it? And if that isn't it then why won't my disk check continue?

As a workaround I manually analyze the drive...when I remember.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a drive that is a 15 GB partition on a 80 GB disk. It is an old disk, so could be failing, but action is strange. Other partitions on the drive succsessfully completed the checking disk procedure, but the 15 GB partition is taking an enourmous amount of time for each file after a swift run of the first 300 files. After that, I'm estimating it takes 10 minutes per file and has been running since 11AM yesterday. It is now near 8AM and it is still only at file 781. Is it possible for a failing disk to manifest itself in one partition before the others? Or is there some other possibility that I should examine.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo i recently added ram to my computer, this is DDR2 RAM, so i took out 2 old sticks that were 1 gig each and put in two 2 gig sticks. Therefore all 4 of my slots are full and i have 6Gigs in total. When i tried to start up my computer i pressed F1 to save the new memory amount (This amount was indeed correct), and my computer rebooted but then stopped at a disk check. I allowed it to run the disk check for about 10-15 seconds. In this short amount of time it was displaying a bunch of corrupted files and attempting to resolve them i am guessing, but suddenly my computer restarted around 5 times in a row in 5-10 second intervals then i got the error saying: 2233 - HECI error during MEBX execution. ME BIOS Extension Module halted. Update BIOS or ME Firmware if problem persists.I have only found onereference of this on uring-MEBX-execution/td-p/4490533 which seems like it was a faulty motherboard. What i did was i took out the new sticks of RAM and put in the old sticks of RAM and tried my computer again. This time I got all the way to the disk check again and this time i skipped it. Windows started up fine but with some other issues. When i started Google Chrome, it said that my internet explorer.lnk file was corrupted. Also if i tried to reinstall internet explorer, it would fail installation near the end. (by fail i mean i would get a window saying Internet Explorer could not fully install). Next i tried Microsoft excel, and it failed saying i did not have enough memory even though my computer stated i had 6 gigs but 5.7 something usable RAM. I tried word and it instantly "Stopped Working" as windows put it. So i uninstalled microsoft office to try an reinstall it but I rebooted my computer after I uninstalled it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI periodically get notices from Windows 7 that I need to run the disk check utility. This is usually after a BSOD. These events have been occurring from the day I bought this laptop and I have posted them here in the past. This time, the disk check utility changed names on at least 12 files. I don't know WHAT files, because the utility said the file names were corrupted. After the reboot, I found that my Libraries were missing from the file manager. My Documents, Pictures, Videos and Music were gone. If I looked by clicking on C: and then navigating to them, I could find them, but the file manager could not. Also, clicking on the Start button, then All Programs, gave me an empty screen. All the shortcuts were gone. Many of the shortcuts on my Task Bar are missing their Icons, but they work. Many of my music files will not play because the file extension is now m4p. Changing the file extension to mp3 or mp4 does not work, the system sees them as an unknown file type. I ran Microsoft Security Essentials, a FULL SCAN, and it scanned about 86,000 files. That was all it could find. I have attached images that show the start menu and virus scan results as well as the usual dump files. The images show a black desktop, but I corrected that by re-choosing the custom theme I had made. I tried to use Restore, but the restore points have disapeared, and I cannot restore to before this event.
