Tweaking.com Support & Help / CHKDSK & SFC don't work!
« on: January 04, 2016, 06:54:37 pm »
Hi, I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 laptop running Windows 7 Pro. I've been getting the dreaded 80070005 error for months just trying to upgrade to Windows 10 that the system keeps telling me to do. I've tried a whole bunch of things suggested at numerous sites to no avail, and a number of posts keep pointing back to the All-In-One utility here. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work correctly -- though I don't think it's the fault of the AIO.
Background: I've checked my hard drive with Steve Gibson's SpinRite, cleaned and re-cleaned with CCleaner, defragged and defragged with PerfectDisk. I've run the SubInACL tool (recommended elsewhere).
To AIO:
When I run the AIO in Safe Mode logged in as "Administrator", I get through the Prescan just fine, but the "regular" CHKDSK shows errors. So then I run the other CHKDSK -- I've tried both /F and /R. I then tell it to reboot and run CHKDSK at boot-up. Well, maybe this stuff has changed in the (many!) years since I had previously run CHKDSK, but I see no evidence of it running at startup. Maybe it's just hidden behind the fancy graphics, but when I get back into AIO in Safe Mode, I get the same error with the regular CHKDSK. Endless loop, over and over.
So I even tried running SFC. Errors.
OK, so I boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt. I can't do CHKDSK /F (or /R) because I'm already on the C: drive and the drive is locked, so I answer "Y" to do it on the next boot. No evidence of CHKDSK running at the next reboot. I then try Safe Mode with Command Prompt again. Errors are still there, so I don't think CHKDSK is ever running at startup, period!
I also tried SFC /scannow in Safe Mode with Command Prompt a couple of times -- which reported some errors. But I'd rather get CHKDSK /F (and/or /R) running correctly first.
Any advice?
Many thanks,
Jelks
