Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / July 2008scedule check disk not responding
I lost my wireless and my security program somehow. Attempted to use system restore and received a message that there us a "system curruption on ..C" and to check disk for errors. When attempted a message stated WIndows cannot check disk when running, do I want to check when starting computer. I clicked "Schedule disk check" and nothing happens. After shutting down and restarting the problem remains the same. How do I proceed to remedy this and get my computer back and restore my wireless and lost security program? > I lost my wireless and my security program somehow.

Go to Orb, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES and then right click on COMMAND PROMPT. Select run as administrator. Say OK to the UAC Prompt. At the cursor spot type exactly (note space after the K) CHKDSK /R/F Say Yes (Y) to run at next start up Close that box down and do a reboot It will fix any problems. You may then need to go back to a restore point from just before the problem started. Report back, as you may have corrupted some system files and need to do a repair as well Frenchy Pardon my ignorance as I do not know what is a UAC prompt. However I did the command and it stated that the computer would check disk at the next startup. I don't know if it did as after shutting down and starting up the situation appears unresolved. When I attempted system restore the message appeared again stating there is a file system corruption. What is the next step to repair the computer? > > I lost my wireless and my security program somehow.

This is the Popup you get when you go to run many programs or system programs. It's the one you click YES to. Don't tell me you have UAC turned off?? Note Brink has given you a full tutorial on CHKDSK as well, so run through that. You may have corrupt system restore points. How many have you tried going backwards in time? Frenchy No I don't have UAC turned off. I am so used to it I forgot I had clicked it. I have tried 10 restore points from the last two weeks with the same result. I have also tried all of the suggestions from Brink's tutorial except the installation DVD because the one that came with the machine states it will delete all files on the machine! I do not know where to go from here. > > Pardon my ignorance as I do not know what is a UAC prompt. However I did the > > command and it stated that the computer would check disk at the next startup.

I think you need to try some repair work and if that fails, back up your data and reformat and start again. While that may sound draconian, it is only a days work to get all your programs back and running. Will your oldest restore point work? I assume you have scanned for Viruses? Frenchy aka Kotuku when the apparent corruption occurred I lost my wireless internet ability and my Norton Security Center. I used Windows defender to scan and it came up with no problems also with no history. No restore points work. I bought the machine just over a month ago. What are repair options prior to having someone backup the drive and reinstall the os? > > No I don't have UAC turned off. I am so used to it I forgot I had clicked > > it.

That is the polite way in User Groups and makes it easier for all to read logically. Go here and follow the instructions (with pictures) to do a Repair. http://vistaultimate.windowsreinstall.com/repairstartup/repairstartup.htm If that doesn't work, and as your machine is only a month old, I suggest you take it back to the place you bought it from, it is still under warranty. BUT back your data up, as most will just reformat and install as the quick option I am suspicious you got hit by a Virus/Worm/Trojan, as the first thing they do is block Norton's! Go to one of the Online AV Groups and do an Online Scan. Here is one http://housecall.trendmicro.com/us/index.html There are others, use GOOGLE. Frenchy >Try putting your replies at the BOTTOM of the thread, so they come under >mine! That is the polite way in User Groups and makes it easier for all >to read logically. Another "polite" thing to do is to edit the quote so it pertains only pertitenent info. It's a pain in the bippy to have to scroll down through 3 pages of quotes as a thread progresses. Nobody reads all that anyway. > > when the apparent corruption occurred I lost my wireless internet ability and > > my Norton Security Center.

I hesitate to attempt repair for fear of losing all. I cannot do an online scan because i lost wireless ability and am using another notebook to access you. I will see what I can do to backup data before turning to Best Buy with the machine. Thanks for your assistance. > > when the apparent corruption occurred I lost my wireless internet ability and > > my Norton Security Center.

Today I hit F8 at startup and was able to run the checkdesk and it cleared up all the problems. Wow, I did not know about F8 until I looked at the Gateway start up guide that came with the computer. Sorry I bugged you so but maybe someone learned something from our posts. Bottom I have a clean machine. snip >> Try putting your replies at the BOTTOM of the thread, so they come under >> mine!

Well there ya go. Read the instructions first <smile> It looks like you just have an OEM Vista disk, not a full installation disk? The repair method in the instruction video above does NOT make you lose data, just fixes any corrupt files. But you need the proper Vista install disk for that. You should have insisted on one when you bought it. You just have a recovery disk that takes it back to 'as bought' status and all data lost Frenchy > snip > >>>> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > bought' status and all data lost > Frenchy Thanks = I will look into getting the proper Vista installation disc for myself. Hi Cottonwoodian, See if you can get chkdsk to run with one of these methods. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-check-disk-chkdsk.html Hope this helps, Shawn Cottonwoodian;785663 Wrote: > I lost my wireless and my security program somehow.

SignatureBrink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*VISTA FORUMS*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.* Try 'If ChkDsk does not run at startup in Vista' (http://www.winvistaclub.com/t50.html).
