Remove Dirty Bit Flag

(1/3) > >>

Before using any of the Tweek programs, I was already having an issue trying to run the "check disk" utility in Windows.  Nothing worked.  I tried running it in safemode, using CMD line options, etc.  So, what the heck, thought I would use your tweek that set the Dirty Bit Flag.   Upon restart, it did not initiate the check disk utility either but I thought it was worth a try.  No harm, no foul.  A few days later I attempted to defrag the drive but noticed that my "C" volume wasn't listed.  I believe this is because of the Dirty Bit Flag.  I may be wrong.  Is there a way to remove the Dirty Bit Flag using one of your tweeks?  Thank You.

Shane:
The only way to remove the dirty flag is to run chkdsk with the fix command.

You havent been able to get chkdsk to run? Does it give any errors?

there was no error msg.   whether using tweek to set the dirty bit or using windows"tools" to set up the error check.   upon restart the pc boots up normally, but it doesn't run the error check.  please see the attached results from the "system file checker".   other than doing a reinstall of windows, i'm not sure what else would fix this.   thank you.

Shane:
This might get it fixed in order to get it running on reboot :wink:

Also have you tried going into the recovery console and trying to run it manually from there?
