If the drive is a solid state disk then it may have suffered from controller table corruption in which case a manufacturer specific procedure is needed to forcefully repair the controller tables. If the drive is mechanical check its SMART information as that might shed some light as to what is happening. Of course if the drive is suffering a catastrophic failure then chkdsk cannot repair it.

It will run next time the computer starts automatically if the drive cannot be unmounted, otherwise it will run inside the operating system at full efficiency. If you can access the command prompt you can use the manual page I linked to schedule check disk on the drive. Sounds really good right?Ĭlick to expand.If the operating system has loaded you can access the command prompt. And most importantly living for your rest of the life without bothering anyone ever again. Wouldn't that be the dream? Living at a nice place, in a small house, sitting next to the fireplace in a comfy chair. Google for "How To Access Recovery Options in Windows ", take your time searching solutions and solving shit for yourself, I won't give exact steps like you expect everytime *evil laugh intensifies*.īy the way andreas, accidentally, really, is there any slight chance that you ever considered moving somewhere far deep into the woods/hills? Isolated from society most preferably without access to any forms of electrical communication.
#How to run a disk check on linux install#
Ultimately you can use your current install by entering recovery mode and using command prompt there. In case you have issues with linux(obviously there is no way that you could use that stuff), you can run chkdsk from a live windows booted from DVD or USB(aka installer), or google for "bootable USB diagnostic tools" or something like that, you'll get thousands of results(still you'd have to burn it to a cd or usb).
