CHKDISK Halting at 28% During Startup

<< < (3/7) > >>

Steel430:
Well, I downloaded the program out of curiousity and started going through the steps (power reset, pre-scan) just to see how it'd do and what it'd tweak. When I got to the Check Disk section, I went through Step 1 to see if a Check Disk was needed, and it told me there were errors on the disk and "Check Disk" was needed. I just ran it again (precheck only and did a screenshot.

I checked the log and it starts off with:

"The type of the file system is NTFS. The volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk might report errors when no corruption is present.

WARNING!  F parameter not specified. Running CHKDSK in read-only mode."

You'll see the rest of the message in the second screenshot.  After reading through some of the info on the Tweaking.com site, I figure it was a false positive.

Boggin:
When you have other programs open and run a chkdsk in read-only mode, this has a greater chance of reporting an error.

I think it's best to read through the steps and then run a proper chdsk /f or /r, although you can still run a chkdsk in read-only mode on its own as I have done previously where it won't falsely report an error.

Have you run a chkdsk /f or /r as I've suggested ?

Steel430:
Yup, just finished with a chkdsk /f, did the shutdown command and it rebooted.

I've got the event viewer open but when I expand Windows Logs, I don't see anything which says "Action/Find". I did type wininit into the Find box and hit enter. Though I do see a file name wininit which comes up, nothing appears when I click on the file directly or hit enter.

Boggin:
My error for posting in a hurry.

When you expand Windows Logs, click on Application then on Action/Find and type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter.

Cancel the Find box then read the report in the scrollable pane below - you don't have to click on Wininit in the upper pane.

Steel430:
Gotcha.

The Wininit screen says I'm fine (though a couple bad sectors). The ChkDisk screen says there's errors and can't continue. Screenshots below.

I'll go with the false positive for Check Disk.
