CHKDSK error: unspecified error occured

Chogan · Feb 13, 2011

Hello every body.
my pc have a windows vista home premium with 3 derives (C:, D:, F

. from one months ago until now, it starts showing this message to me when i want copy, delete, or install any file on my F: derive: "the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable". i should add that almost every other day it shows this message to me and some times with restarting the pc the problem solves but some days latter again it shows this error.
so i try to do a CHKDSK check at windows startup for my F: derive but at stage 3 it shows this error message: "unspecified error occured".
what should i do?
Thanks
///Ali

Welcome
You need to perform arel test your your hard drive. Chkdsk is not reliable for these situations
Test Hard Drive HD Diagnostic or this test Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.

Those are links that I gave you. Click on them for full instructions.

Thanks for your advise.
i want add that my laptop manufacturer (HP) add a disk diagnostic to to laptop. when windows is starting i press F10 and then in diagnostic menu, i run hard drive test, it take about 100 min and when finished it reports that there are not any problem with hard drives.
what should i do?

I cannot be familiar with every test out there. I am not familiar with the HP test, though I am pretty sure that your HD is ok. To be completely sure, take the test that I suggest, then we can go to the next step.

Hello again.
i found that my derives have not any problem and maybe the problem is from corrupted file system.
so if this is true, what should i do?
Thanks.

An SFC command will ck your OS and correct some problems

thank you so much, my notebook have three drives, c: D: (Vista recovery drive) and F:. My Os installed on C: but I have installed some softwares on F:
my C: and D: do not have any problem, my problem is F:.
how can i run SFC command for F: Not C:?

richc46 · Feb 14, 2011

The SFC only checks the OS or drive c. It wil not check F.
The message that you are getting is not from a corrupted files. If anything it is from the drive itself.

Chogan · Feb 14, 2011

ok, i do sfc check but SFC cannot fix some files.
i go to cbs.log file and saw so many lines that i cannot understand. how can i fix this problems? and i want to add that i do not have a windows recovery cd but my derive D: is pre-installed windows recovery derive.

richc46 · Feb 14, 2011

If you follow these directions and upload the CBS to us, we have a very talented member who can tell you how to make the corrections manually. The usual way is with the install DVD, which you do not have
Upload CBS File

Chogan · Feb 14, 2011

OK, i do this:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log
and here is the result in attachment

also i have another question:
does repairing with this method remove any data from system? does it delet any software or data?

richc46 · Feb 14, 2011

No it only fixes the OS.
But as I said I need help to make the changes that are needed. Ask to be sure about the changes.
It may take time. I will refer this now. The other member may not be online until tomorrow.

Chogan · Feb 14, 2011

may i ask you when do you will deliver the solution to me?

richc46 · Feb 14, 2011

I have asked for help from someone, who is very talented and conscientious. He will help you as soon as he comes online. I am guessing tomorrow morning.
