Disk Check on every startup that fails.
Hi,
Whenever I start up my laptop, It tries to do a disk check and everytime it fails, saying I need to use system restore to get rid of a recent software package installation....
Well, I tried using system restore but it says there's a file system corruption on Windows C: and I need to check it for errors before I can restore....
Anyone know how I can fix this? | My System Specs |

Open an elevated command prompt. Elevated Command Prompt
At the prompt type chkntfs /x c: (where c: is the relevant drive letter), hit Enter. (this tells windows to stop running chkdsk at boot).
Now boot into windows and again in elevated command prompt, the following then hit Enter. chkdsk /f /r c:
Let chkdsk run, it may take a while.
Hopefully this should fix hard disk errors. Also download the hard disk diagnostic for your brand from this site and run it. Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.
If the hard disk passes the tests, you can try reenabling chkdsk at boot. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to describe...

Thanks, I did that but it comes up with this....
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) | | My System Specs | | |

Thats a Western Digital drive, download the diagnostic here. http://carrona.org/hddiag.html
Unzip if required, byrn iso to cd, boot from cd and run the diagnostic.
Though I do notice that the reallocated sector count (bad sectors) in that crystaldiskinfo report is above the threshold. Do yourself a favour, backup any critical data sitting on that disk. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to describe...
