Run Chkdsk Periodically On Windows 7?
Dec 25, 2011I am using Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition. Is it appropriate to use chkdsk periodically to check the health of my C: & D: file systems? Can running chkdsk cause any harm to the file system?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Crashes During CHkdsk?
Apr 15, 2012I own an older Win 7 X64 PC. The thing runs fine without problems except when I try to schedule it for a disk error check (Chkdsk) upon restart? When I schedule that the PC is able to reboot, start up and go into error checking and finish part 1, but when it gets to part two it crashes about 25% of the way through it? When I say crashes, what happens is the monitor light goes from blue to amber and the thing just sits there like it went to sleep. No matter what I do it won't come out of this? If I hit the restart button it starts with three beeps and just sits there. I have to completely shut the PC off, let it sit there for a few seconds then restart it.
Once I restart the PC I have to cancel out of the disk check or else it will go through the same thing again. Once I cancel out fo the disk check it boots up and runs fine without any problems that I'm aware of?
How do I get this PC to run a disk check (chkdsk) all the way through to completion without it crashing? Should I just put the thing back to a version that was working (from backup)
Windows Backup And Chkdsk Don't Work
Jun 1, 2012I just replaced the internal hard drive in my laptop, and now I'm trying to set up Windows Backup to backup to an external hard drive. It always fails, giving an I/O device error. I looked for a fix to this, and everyone says to run chkdsk on both hard drives. I ran it on the internal (running Windows 7), and it was really slow (it ran all day, and I went to bed and the computer had restarted by the time I got up). Running it on the external from within Windows, it gets stuck very early in the process and won't proceed.

Dec 16, 2009I ran one of the performance reports today, which claims I have a disk with the dirty bit set. Recommended running chkdsk.Fired up a command prompt and typed chkdsk v: /f/r/x..Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.SO, I right-clicked and ran the command prompt as an Administrator. EVEN THOUGH I'M ALREADY AN ADMINISTRATOR.Got exactly the same result. Went into the command properties and SET the thing to "Run as Administrator".UAC is turned OFF.There are days with Windows 7 where I feel like everything is 2 steps forward and 1 step back. How do I make it let me do a simple chkdsk - no I DON'T want to set something to have it run at boot, or go find some 3rd party program to do the same thing. I just want to run chkdsk from this box from a command windows.

Mar 31, 2011I'm facing some problems with my C drive. Errors were said to be found in C drive during Error checking. However, I could not auto fix system errors when C drive is in use. Thus I've assigned a chkdsk upon start up. Here's the catch, the Chkdsk appeared for a sec and was automatically terminated abnormally by the system itself. I've tried to system restore, but was prompted that there's error, so I can't restore the system. I didn't have much knowledge regarding the backing up of the system, thus i did not create any backup entries. I'm using Lenovo Win7 Laptop, 64 bit.

Jan 5, 2011when I registered and put all the information about my computer in you all can see that which should save me some time. I've been running my Windows 7 x64 machine for about 3 weeks without problem. All of my programs are installed on the SSD and the HDD is for data files. Simple. Easy.I run dual display with no problem, 1920x1080 on the 24" LED (DVI), and extended to a 19" LCD (VGA).My dad was kind enough to buy me a 32" 1080p Insignia TV for christmas. I bought a cheap HDMI cable online, and when it came in the mail i decided I would set my computer up to have 3 monitors. (I didn't know that my graphics card only supports 2 at a time, I know this now.)So I plugged in the HDMI Cable to the TV and to the Computer. The 24" LED screen (my main one) Twitches for a moment then returns to normal, the TV comes on, and the 19" LCD goes blank. All is good except Aero magically shut off. After fiddling with the display settings and realizing i can only have two monitors at a time. I decide on the 24" and the 32" for now, but leave all three plugged in. I restart the computer in hopes of returning Aero. THe computer takes a VERY long time to start up and when it does, i'm presented with a dialog telling me that a page file has been created for me.
My page file SHOULD have been on my HDD (to keep room on my SSD, with 8GB of RAM i didnt think page file was THAT important).
I click the dialog and the page file settings open up. i go to check and make sure they are correct, but when i select the HDD from the listbox, everything stops working right. Page file dialogs go not responding. I open task manager and all looks good in processes. Start bar won't open. It looks like the computer is thrashing, but it never gets around to catching up with itself, so i shut it off and try again with the same results.Then i unplug everything but the DVI monitor, the mouse and the keyboard, and try again... same results. Tried safe mode... same results.so i shut it off and let it be for a day (i was pretty frustrated)I come back today, turn it on and it hangs forever on the 'Starting Windows' boot screen.I shut it off and figure.. I didnt have that much on there, I might as well wipe the drive and start from scratch, thats the easiest solution, so i pop in the Windows 7 x64 DVD, reboot the machine, all looks good, and i go for install, and it Hangs forever on the 'Setup is starting' screen with a spinning wheel cursor.One more time i restarted the computer without the disc booted 'normally' and it hung on the 'Starting Windows' screen for a little while, then entered CHKDSK. I let that run, and for the last 20 minutes, it's been sitting saying 'CHKDSK is verifying Usn Journal...'
CHKDSK - Windows Stuck In Loop When Booting
Jan 25, 2012When I tried to boot Windows 7 yesterday, I got a prompt saying that a disk check had been scheduled. I initially thought this got stuck because it seemed to freeze on 10% and the numbers alongside that figure didn't go up. I rebooted my computer and let it start again, after a few hours(!) the disk check finished and started on another of my drives. Again, I let this complete and it eventually rebooted itself. Upon rebooting it however, it did the exact same thing and appears to be in a loop just doing the disk check over and over.
I Googled this and opened the command prompt and checked all my drives (it disk checked f and c) but none are marked as dirty. I ran the command to stop the disk check on all drives anyway but still the problem persists.
Right at the start it says I can cancel the check by pressing any key on the keyboard but for some reason, it doesn't work - not sure if it's not recognising the keyboard or not.
I've also tried to boot into safe mode to see if that bypasses it but that hangs at classpnp.sys so that's a no go right now as well. I tried renaming the file to classpnp.old as a forum suggested but it blue screens and restarts if I do that. I'm currently trying a linux boot cd to replace to file to see if that works.
Windows 7 Preinstalled On Laptop - Can't Recover / Chkdsk Or Format HDD
Feb 17, 2012New laptop with Win7 pre-installed. No Win7 CD. Laptop HDD came with separate recovery partition. Burnt recovery CD and backed up HDD to seperate USB HDD. Then laptop was dropped. Laptop won't boot past blank win7 desktop(with curser). Tried running HP recovery program from recovery CD but program says no recovery partition found and once again, will not boot past blank Win7 desktop. Can't get to chkdsk to run HDD fix.
With the Win7 stuff that I have, I can't get to any point where I can even determine if this laptop HDD is fixable? Is there a Win7 iso file that I can download to boot into Win7 so I can then run chkdsk and then access my backup original installation on my USB external HDD? If not, can I use one of my old original Win XP CDs to boot the laptop, run chkdsk or maybe even reformat the drive NTFS, and then install my backup Win7 setup from the external USB HDD over the now XP installed HDD?
Chkdsk In Start-up Repair Versus In Windows Command Prompt
Feb 21, 2012I recently had a laptop crash (Windows 7 Home Premium x64) during a windows update, had to go through lengthy process which ultimately resulted in need to do system recovery from protected partition on an Acer laptop.
One of the interim steps i had tried was to run chkdsk from a command prompt after having been able to reach "repair your computer". I originally had to create a repair disk to get there, but eventually was able to access it from the computer's hard drive.
Run from the command prompt under start-up repair, the chkdsk was PAINFULLY slow, running for more than 12 hours and without getting through the first step. Granted, it did seem to be trying to fix errors.
I came across something about it being slow based on allocation of system resources in the start-up repair. I wanted to see if anyone could elaborate on that. Now that I've gotten the system recovery working, I'd like to run chkdsk again, and I don't want that to take days. My thought is to run it from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator). I'm also thinking that the /x switch will be needed to run this on the c:drive.

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).

Feb 23, 2012I 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:

I then skipped check disk and tried to System Restore and got this error message:

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.

Dec 17, 2009I 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.
