CHKDSK repeats error logs

(1/3) > >>

Purrington:
For the last few days whenever I run CHKDSK for errors the results is that I do have multiple errors and so I run chkdsk at my next reboot.

The difficulty I am having is that after each reboot and running chkdsk, I continue to get error.

This occurs even if I go all through "Steps 1-5" and do the "repairs" as suggested.

So my question is if these are errors how do I repair them and if they are not really errors how would I determine this?

Here is copy of my last "Log" for your consideration.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Boggin:
The message that it is giving you tells you what the problem is - you are running chkdsk in read-only mode and as such, will not carry out any repairs.

It also tells you that because it is in use, it could report errors when there aren't any.

While you don't need to specify c: - chkdsk /f will default repair c: but you can enter it as chkdsk c: /f

Hope this helps.

Purrington:
So once we run a scan and the result says:

"Errors Found on the Drive. Check Disk is Needed"  what exactly are we to do in order to run a "Check Disk" properly so that it is not running in "Read Mode Only" and that the necessary repairs take effect.

Thank you in advance your both your assistance and patience with us novices.

Julian:
Open an elevated command prompt type in
--- Code: ---chkdsk c: /f /r
--- End code ---
it will say volume in use would you like to run the next time your computer boots? type yes and hit enter reboot your computer let it run.

Boggin:
Probably best to run it directly from the command prompt.

Go Start - or press the Windows key - type cmd then right click on cmd and select Run as administrator - accept the UAC then enter chkdsk /f

You'll get a message that it cannot be run and prompted to type y and press enter for it to execute on the next reboot.

Type and enter y then enter shutdown /r /t 00 which will effect an immediate restart then just wait for it to do its thing.

It will give its report briefly on the screen, but if you miss it, after it restarts, go Start - type eventvwr and press enter.

When Event Viewer has read the data, expand Windows Logs - click on the name Application then on Action in the menu bar and then on Find.

In the Find box type chkdsk or wininit and press enter.

Cancel the Find box to read the full report in the scrollable window.

I see Julian has given you the first bit while I was typing :) - however, just use the /f switch for now and note if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.
