Chkdsk errors – file system errors, problems with the volume bitmap, etc…
Symptom: chkdsk /f will not fix the errors.
My Solution: (It took me days to figure this out. HP could not provide a solution
and I could not find one on the Windows website….
Use this solution at your own risk!
Double click “My Computer”
Right click on C: (local disk) and then select properties
Uncheck the box at the bottom where it says allow indexing service to index this
disk…
Select apply or OK…if you have any errors while the drive is un-indexing select ignore
all.
Go back to “My Computer” and select C: (local disk) properties again, then select
the tools tab.
Select “Check Now” and the check the box that says automatically fix file system
errors.
The computer will prompt you to reboot.
Reboot the computer…let the checkdisk run and then go back to “My computer” C: (local
disk) properties and check the box (so it’s selected to re-index) to allow indexing
service to index this disk….
Select ignore all errors
Run chkdsk again and it should be clean!
You may have to do this again after running widows updates or adding programs!
