Looping problem... heard it's an XP issue, any ideas?
 

Recently, my brother who incidentally has the maturity of a foetus, turned off the power on and off a few times, as a way to "punish me" and now every time I start windows my slave F drive loop check disks, and whenever I go to defragment the drive it says it¢s unable to because "chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume"

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue? Thank you all :)

chkntfs /d

(It's a command, run it).

C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew>chkntfs /d

C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew>

didn't seem to do anything, am I just clueless or?

Expected behavior.
Reboot, see if chkdsk runs.
(Or try running defrag)

didn't work unfortunately =/
Thank you for your help Andrew *hugs*

Try:

chkdsk F:

(in the logic that if chkdsk is scheduled to run, try running it...)

pricy solution: get a case with a locked door, destroy spare key and keep the other in one of your pocket (jeans preferred) while you work

There's still the switch on the back.

Do:

code:


chkntfs f:

and tell us what it says.

true, but not all cases have those, mine's a P4 PSU and it doesnt have it, just the 115v - 230v switch

There's still the plug going to the wall...

but if the bios is told not to repower on after power failure (i used to have a problem with a leaky iron and a circuit breaker... >.<) it will stay off until the power button is pressed.

C:\Documents and Settings\Andrew>chkntfs d:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
D: is dirty. You may use the /C option to schedule chkdsk for
this drive.

o.O

I would say your computer has a case of the fruity loops.

Upgrade to new DJ software.

Alright, try this:

code:
chkntfs /C D:

Reboot. Wait for the disk check to finish. Reboot again. If that don't do it, I've got one more suggestion. Let us know.
