Re: Chkdsk at every startup

Thank you for the advice, getting closer to a solution, but not quite there
yet.
In the Event Viewer I found several errors saying:
"The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run
the chkdsk utility on the volume E:."
It gives a link to a page that advices me to run chkdsk /r, which I have
already done. Here's the output from that:
Windows will now check the disk.
CHKDSK is verifying file data (stage 4 of 5)...
File data verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying free space (stage 5 of 5)...
Free space verification is complete.
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.
103490698 KB total disk space.
8178104 KB in 30472 files.
12140 KB in 2539 indexes.
0 KB in bad sectors.
102194 KB in use by the system.
65536 KB occupied by the log file.
95198260 KB available on disk.
4096 bytes in each allocation unit.
25872674 total allocation units on disk.
23799565 allocation units available on disk.
I have now manually resetted autochk.exe for drive E (chkdsk /F didn't work,
had to use regedit) and chkdsk didn't run at startup. However, "chkntfs E:"
still reports that drive E is dirty and I still get the ntfs system error in
the Event Viewer at startup.

Something is causing your disk to corrupt.
Open the Event Viewer....
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK |
Select system in left hand pane.
Look down the right hand pane, and see if there are any disk or file system
errors, timeouts, crc errors or parity errors or anything else that has a
white cross on a red circlular background which looks like it relates to
disk
errors.

Wogya <Wogya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
Drive E has the problem. I've installed most applications on that drive,
only have Windows and all drivers installed on C. Drive E is NTFS, 98GB,
90GB free space. I've run Disk CleanUp on all profiles, didn't help.
Wesley: I've tried all of those command, but none of them really helps.
"fsutil dirty query E:" always reports that the drive is dirty, the dirty
bit doesn't seem to be changed at all by chkdsk. Even if I restart from
the logon screen, before logging in, right after chkdsk has checked the
disk, chkdsk runs again.
I don't know if this is related, but sometimes my computer freezes at the
"windows is shutting down" screen and doesn't shut down until I press the
power switch.

In your first post you refer to drive E and in your second to drive C!
Which drive has the problem? Running Disk CleanUp in all user profiles
can help solve chkdsk and Disk Defragmenter problems.
How large is each drive and how much free space does each have? What
do you use each drive for? Has or is the computer dual booting? Are
the drives formatted as FAT32 or NTFS?

Seems that the errors I mentioned in my first post aren't the
cause of this. I run chkdsk at drive C and it fixed over 300 of
those with the same description, still it had never been marked
dirty. There must be something else that makes drive E look
dirty. I also run chkdsk with the /r option, no errors reported
in the file data or free space.
