1. Click Start

3. In the list that appears, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as administrator

i ran it, clicked continue and not responding.

also ran in safe mode, still won't load disk management + noticed that in safe mode, my external drives loaded/started fine....in normal mode they didn't.

why is windows 7 such a problematic OS?

 

[Golden]

Try again.

... noticed that in safe mode, my external drives loaded/started fine....in normal mode they didn't.

While booted normally, have you tried first ejecting/removing all of your external drives first and then trying to run DISKMGMT.MSC? Does it now open successfully?

If that's successful, we've determined there's nothing wrong with your internal drive(s). Instead, there must be something problematic about reading the file system or computing used/free space on one or more of your external drives. So then begin plugging the external drives back in one at a time and try launching DISKMGMT.MSC each time, until you once again can't launch DISKMGMT.MSC successfully. That will point the finger of scorn at that drive as the problem.

Have you tried using some other tool to look at your drives, just to see if there might be a consensus that the problem is located on one of your internal or external drives? I'm suggesting you install and run Partition Wizard Home (free) just to see what it says about your drives, and in fact if it can even open or also has a problem.

If Partition Wizard can launch and shows all of your internal and external drives, can you please post a screenshot here so that we can see what your setup looks like. If it has a problem, please post the error message here.

how do i fix this?

Can you describe the symptom more specifically? Error message?? Never even opens? What??

Does it show as active in TASKMGR, even though you don't have the open program window on the desktop??

 

[kmetek]

dsperber: installed it, but it just won't run, freezes....i just can't find what's wrong with my system, anoying.

Hmmm...

Did you eject your external drives and pull the USB cables? Partition Wizard won't even open successfully even with just your internal drive(s) present?

Can you open Windows Explorer and see all of your drives/partitions?

 

[gregrocker]

Partition Wizard can also sometimes run Partition Wizard Check File System
on drives which will not show up in Windows to correct this.

But if they show up in Safe Mode can you run a Disk Check?

Disk Mgmt failure requires SFC. If you've run that repeatedly with no fault found, then check for infection with Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware - Downloads - full scans, decline trial version. Also replace your AV with Microsoft Security Essentials and run a full scan. Then consider a Repair Install.

Other steps to go over your install thoroughly which normally will turn up clues in Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7

i get this error a lot:

The only way to have an ASUS OEM validate as genuine on a retail motherboard is through a crack/hack.

We don't provide help or support for pirated software. Please install a genuine Windows 7 before seeking help.

 

[kmetek]

Ok, thank you.

 

[andrew129260]

And that is also why windows 7 is such a "problematic" OS for you.

 

[Layback Bear]

kmetek When you get a legal Windows 7 installed we will still be here if you need help.
No pirated or hacked operating system or programs.

 

[2Fly4aITGuy]

If Computer Management dose not load from right clicking Computer in the start menu and selecting manage from the list all you have to do is load it manually from the start menu by typing compmgmt.msc /s in the search bar!

 

[Layback Bear]

It really doesn't matter when one has a counterfeit Windows 7.
