And I have no idea how. I noticed that iTunes deleted more then half of my photos off my ipod, but didnt think anything of it, and then i started yahoo messenger and it said it was corrupted and to run a chkdsk. So I did, and this is what it came up with (below). What caused this? All my photos are back, it said it was recovering orphaned files and stuff. But there was too many to count. [code]
View 1 RepliesMy windows 7 system does not boot probably because of file corruption. Recovery console(repair) cannot fix system to boot and cannot tell what is the problem. I have a OEM installation disc(Premium x64, bought from shop no withing machine) and it seems that I should be able to boot system if I want to start upgrade install. I would like to repair system and preserve installed programs. The problem boot disc can be read and write ok when it is installed on other system. Is there any way I can repair my system?
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently i've run into an issue with a particular boot file or driver "wdf0 1000.sys" getting corrupted. The first time I didn't know what caused the issue due to start up repair not working, so I did a clean reinstall of Windows. This time I backed up everything luckily, because sure enough it happened again, but this time I was able to see the problem. I want to know if there's a way to prevent that driver/file from messing up, because it will be a real annoyance to have to restore my back up over and over again.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Win7 on NTFS, Ubuntu 10.04 on EXT4 and a third partition for general data with both operating systems can access.The third, shared partition is in FAT32.I have had this set up for years with no problems. Recently, I have found that files that I use, move, etc on my Ubuntu sometimes become corrupted. It is very occasional but is occurring more regularly. I use many files (obviously) but only a fraction of those appear to suffer with the problems. The files are generally left irrecoverably corrupted. It is only files that are stored on the shared FAT partition that become corrupted.All partitions are on the same drive.
To solve the problem, I reboot into Windows and sometimes CHKDSK does it's thing and sorts it all out. However, when CHKDSK does not run, the files are irrecoverably gone. CHKDSK says there are orphaned files, removes and recovers them. Sometimes, a file which has been deleted on on Ubuntu may then cause CHKDSK to scan, find and remove the file (or more particularly, sets all affected sectors to null). I can't quite place the error. Possibly in a ageing and failing Hard Drive? The Laptop is circa 3 years old-ish. I would say that combining file systems is an invitation for trouble - but genuinely I have never had any problems with it before. Sometimes I access Ubuntu when Windows is suspended which I feel may cause Read/Write collisions at OS level but if that is the case, surely it should prevent me accessing the file, rather than permit it and then treat the sectors as bad?
I have moved to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for almost half a year, recently my hard drive was getting full and I decided to move some of the data to usb external hard drives. Both the externals I have are IDE hard drives and both are NTFS. I always use Quicksfv to make a CRC check file before I transfer the file and then run the CRC check after its been copied over to the external drive. I have used these externals in the past with Windows XP and had no problems.
However, on Windows 7 when transferring large files (usually over 1GB in size), I get corruption in the files. The corruption occurs randomly, if I recopy the files again it might be corruption free. This only occurs when copying files from internal to external, if I copy files from the external to my internal there's no corruption at all. I have tried changing the usb cables, power cable of the externals, using different usb ports but none of it helped. I scanned both externals with chkdsk and I used memtest+ for over 24hours and all the tests passed fine.
I've been looking for some time now for a system-wide graphic equalizer. Basically I play a lot of internet radio on my laptop, so the WMP EQ won't do. Also, it doesn't work on games and streaming vids etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have to use 'System Restore' from time to time to restore my computer. The instructions says: System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos.' This is NOT correct. If I have used my Borland or Lazarus pascal compiler to compile a program on the same day I perform a 'System Restore', afterwards all executables, .bat, a some other files will be missing in a personal folder (latest example: C:CodeTyphonLazarusALazarusProjectsAsyncThreads missing the above file types). I have found other program executables missing also. The only thing that saved me today was the knowledge that Windows does this. I backed up my program project files before doing the 'System Restore'. Before you do one, you need to back up your personal files. Before the 'System Restore', make a list of all your software executables and then see how many are missing after the restore so that you can replace them. It seems to only delete those files of programs that you have used on the day of the restore.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEssentially after a few years of using my current computer I wiped the hard drive and re-installed. I did a complete wipe by booting from my Windows 7 disk and then "Deleting" the entire Hard Drive before re-installing. Do not misunderstand I "Deleted" the Hard Drive contents, without "Formatting" using some advance options in the installation stage.After reinstalling Windows 7 I had numerous issues, such as my Integrated Graphics card acting faulty, causing GUI problems. I'v also had my network card fail and eventually it seemed the Hard Drive corrupted itself since Windows 7 refused to load. So Once again I wiped, reinstalled and it worked fine again for another 3 days or so before happening again, at which point I restored my computer to an earlier state, which happened to be before and update and it now works again. it seems they develop after a period of 3-4 days. My GUI is playing up and reverting back to the native settings and style. I also started my computer up and Windows ran a Hard Drive check for corruption and removed some files.
TLDR: Reinstalled Windows 7 numerous times and I'm still getting problems with various parts of the computer.
Note: I reinstalled "Drivers" necessary and updated them.
I have a strange screen problem with default UAC settings (and it often appears, to a lesser degree, during boot)
Black (or white) streaks, missing or broken lines when the desktop is dimmed to show a system message. If, in UAC, I choose "Don't Dim Desktop"... the problem goes away when messages appear. The regular desktop is fine. This only happens when the boot screens are shown, and when the UAC is allowed to dim the desktop.
I have an ASRock 4CoreDual SATA2, eVGA 7600GS on AGP (sorry, can't go to PCIe right now,) 2GB of ram. This happened under both the Win 7 Beta and RC1, which I'm running now. Any thoughts?
Currently I am running a Windows 7 machine, with a 22 Widescreen LG monitor as my main and a 19 Normal Aspect NEC as my second monitor to the right. I'm also running an nVidia GTX 570. With 285.79 drivers, all is well. However, when I try to upgrade, and I've tried to upgrade to all drivers since, anytime I start up a DX10 or DX11 game (mostly BF3) my main screen offsets approximately 3 inches to the left pushing the game off to the left about 3 inches and leaving a black bar about 3 inches on the right side. This can be fixed by screwing around with the resolution settings and eventually all is fine, but I shouldn't have to screw around with anything.
Other games such as Dragon Age 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2 actually require me to change my resolution from 1680 x 1050 to 1440 x 900 (I run my screen in 1680 x 1050)
I am looking for a utility that will analyze HDDs of client computers on a Windows Network.

Anyway...So just a utility or program that would analyze the disk of each client computer, and generate some sort of report or list of client computers in need of a defrag that I would preform during off hours, or schedule to run late at night.

So I received a solid state drive for Christmas last year and haven't had any luck with installing it. I'm doing everything I can to rule out that it was DOA considering that at this point it's probably past warranty and I don't really wanna drop the money on a new one.I've tried to replicate the crashes but have had no luck. There appears to be no conditions required for the system to crash, so my initial thought was some kind of hardware malfunction.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude D800 laptop which is some outdated but served me well with vista. The native screen resolution is 1920x1200, and if I understand correctly the nvidia chipset is GeForce FX Go5200.
I don't need to install the native driver if I could only change the resolution to custom since nothing else appears to be not working.
The problem with the natural drivers is this: when I install the nvidia one it says I do not have a compatible chipset, so it leaves me with the D800 video driver. It has only been released for XP and installing it even with changed compatibility mode freezes my screen on startup.
In Vista no drivers were needed I just changed my resolution to 1920x1200 and all was well, what are my options in Windows 7?

First of all, I wasn't exactly sure where to post this problem, since I have been having so many (I think they're related), but I have been forced to reinstall windows twice now and the problems continue. The first time I reinstalled windows was only because I was having several problems with directx, file corruption, and failed windows updates. Some of my games would crash and give me errors referencing different directx files, and no matter how many times I reinstalled directx or the game itself, I kept getting those errors.
As for the file corruption, about every time I started my computer, it wanted to do a checkdisk, even after it had already done that and "solved" the errors.
The failed windows updates related to the .net framework 4.0 (Or something like that) causing the entire updates to fail every time I turned off my computer. For the most part I ignored this. So I reinstalled windows (first reinstall) and that seemed to solve those mentioned problems except for the checkdisk always wanting to run.
Fast forward a month to just the other day - I was actually FORCED to reinstall windows because it would not even boot up in normal or safe mode, and all my restore points had been deleted somehow. The problems started after I tried to install Terraria, which needed to install the .Net framework 4.0 to work. So once again, the .net framework was causing problems. I solved this by downloading some software that completely removed the .net framework (I think), and letting Terraria configure it itself. This worked, however after a couple hours of playing the game, nothing else did. I turned off my computer, and when I booted it the next day, windows wouldn't load. This is why I reinstalled the 2nd time. Now, I am having many more problems even after a fresh installation. I am getting all kinds of errors on corruption in certain files, my video drivers are failing to install, restore points being deleted, checkdisk is still trying to run (which I am letting it do), windows updates are failing, and both Chrome and Firefox gave me error messages like "Your profile could not be opened correctly" after I installed them. My 1TB hard disk still has about 300gb of space, so space shouldn't be the source of any those problems.
I don't even know where to begin solving these problems, so I am very tempted to format my hard disk. So my question basically is would just completely wiping my HDD and then reinstalling windows from scratch be a good idea, or is the problem beyond that?
[Code]...
So I found a post on this forum with a similar problem. I'm trying to move a file that is larger than 4GB in size from my main hard drive to an external, and getting the error message in the title. The consensus on the other post was that the hard drive must have been a FAT format, and that too fix the problem either split up the file or reformat the hard drive as NTFS.Well, by all accounts, my computer is telling me that my external hard drive is ALREADY formatted as NTFS, but I'm still getting this error. I would prefer not to split up the file, but other than that, what are my options?
View 2 Replies View Related"When it comes to compatibility, if it works with Windows Vista, it should work with Windows 7. There are no major API changes, which is a critical point: that means that if there's a Vista driver for your hardware, that should work under Windows 7 without issue. That's great news, because driver issues were one of the top frustrations for people moving to Windows Vista with XP-era hardware.
Windows 7 will be more reliable as well - there are some improvements in reliability and self-diagnosis. There will be fewer prompts for user account control for instance, and in fact the default will be at a lower threshold than it was for Vista. There will be more controls for the user regarding account approvals, and it will be more discoverable than it was in the past."
I've been having this problem for the past couple of months and it's driving me insane. I've searched for hours on end without any luck of a fix. The problem is that my mouse lags (or stutters) every 5 seconds. The lag can sometimes be so bad that the mouse completely stops working for a few seconds. I've gone through 3 mice and they've all had the same problem so it can't be because of the mouse. The mouse I'm currently using is the Logitech Anywhere MX.
