Re: canceling windows disk error check?
Re: canceling windows disk error check? If it truncates the log, then the log is wayyy to large for windows to handle. Windows can only keep a log up to I think it is about 15 KB of data with logs before it starts truncating things. You can't restore it, at least I don't think you can.

Re: canceling windows disk error check?
Re: canceling windows disk error check? It sounds like it just crashed. This has been known to happen. I'm almost certain that it can be killed via task manager, but the trick is finding the right process.You won't ever know if it hurt the drive. That's the problem. Running another check isn't a horrible idea, but then again maybe that's also not the best idea either. It could have taken part of the file table, as an example. Or maybe it ate only a couple files. Or yeah, you could have been lucky. The kind of damage that happens here is rarely the "oops the drive is broken" kind-it's much more subtle.

Re: canceling windows disk error check?
Re: canceling windows disk error check? OK, Here's what I recommend you do:Go to command prompt, and type the following command:chkdsk /f /v /r /x /scan /perf /spotfix /sdcleanupThat only works if the drive is NTFS. If it is not, then the following commands should do the trick:chkdsk /f /r /xI recommend you run the first one for NTFS; it does a lot mroe checking than the other one. And make sure your drive is NTFS!

Re: canceling windows disk error check? hi,an update on diskcheckI waited for 4 5 hours and the progress was still frozenI kept getting io read/write warnings in event log while the check was running so I pulled out the driveoddly, the process still didn't throw up an error and I had to reboot to terminate itthe cancel button still didn't work iethertaskmanager was useless to terminate itthe process doesn't seem to have damaged the drive in any way URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=191834#p191834 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: canceling windows disk error check?
Re: canceling windows disk error check? It's not going to go for 900 hours. If it has to go for 900 hours, something is seriously wrong with something critical.it's worth reiterating at this point that windows progress bars are notoriously bad at accurately showing you progress. In future, use chkdsk, which does the same thing. Chkdsk will at least tell you how many files it's done and how many there are to do.As for safely stopping it, if the cancel button isn't working, then keep the computer on. It's safe to leave the computer on for weeks, so don't worry about it-plug it into a surge and let it go. This will be done soon anyway, and stopping it could cause problems. if it becomes absolutely critical that it be stopped immediately, you can kill it in task manager; this is very definitely unsafe.

Re: canceling windows disk error check? hi,having this operation go for 900 hours is unacceptablethe check drive for errors in the tools tab of the drive only corrects file system errors in win8I believe it is different from the chkdsk /r command URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=191787#p191787 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: canceling windows disk error check?
Re: canceling windows disk error check? Well, 3*100 is 300, so I'd say about 9.008 hours to complete. Just let it go.

Re: canceling windows disk error check?
Re: canceling windows disk error check? Unfortunately, no. If you told the disk check to run at boot, then just press enter when it reads:Checking disks. Press enter to cancel.Or something like that. However, if you never pressed enter, the disk check will begin by checking for corrupted sectors on the drive. If it finds any, it will attempt to resolve them. Next, it will check for corrupted files, and so on. It will attempt to repair bad data on the disk if it can, and it may even recover it if it is possible. Just let it run until it completes.
