Disk Error Checking Software
download, especially when using a DL program called JDownloader; some people in related forums mentioned that checking the disk via CHKDSK solved the problem, and I decided to do a check on my data partition (D:\). My OS and all system files are on partition (C:\) of the same 1TB HDD. I've run chkdsk on the C: partition before with no issues, but first time running it for the D: partition. I knew that CHKDSK would take a while to run, so disk error checking log I left it alone. But when I came back to check, it had been stuck on Quote: CHKDSK is verifying file data (stage 4 of 5)... 10 percent complete. (20162 of 47600 files processed) The previous stages were all reported as completed and no error is shown. It has been stuck on this particular file (20162 of 47600) for at least 15 hours now--since I came back to check on it, I don't know how long it's been stuck there before I came to check. More importantly, the HDD activity light is not blinking at all. However, the HDD is still spinning (I checked by opening the case and feeling the HDD's vibration). It doesn't appear to be making any of the read/access sounds that it usually makes, however. Some additional info: - Everything, other than the download/corrupt file problem I mention above, had been running smoothly. I had no reason to suspect any HDD issues; wanted to run CHKDSK just to figure out if it is the cause of the corrupt downloads. - I partitioned the 1TB partition into two equal portions. This particular partition (D:\) has about ~120GB free space left. Please let me know what I should do in this circumstance. I'm tempted to reset the computer but fear aborting CHKDSK would cause issues.

Rundll32.exe Clean Recent Documents How to Use Chkdsk in Windows XP Learn how to use the Windows XP disk maintenance tool Check Disk (Chkdsk) to keep your http://best-windows.vlaurie.com/chkdsk.html PC healthy. The purpose and application of Chkdsk for disk error checking are explained. Every Microsoft operating system since DOS has contained a tool for repairing corrupted file or folder structures and checking for bad disk sectors. In DOS it was called Chkdsk, in Windows 9X/Me it was called Scandisk, and in Windows XP (and Vista/7) we are back to the name Chkdsk. What Chkdsk does and why it should be disk error used Chkdsk inspects the physical structure of a disk to make sure that it is healthy. It can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors. These types of problems can arise in a variety of ways. System crashes or freezes, power glitches, incorrectly turning off a computer can all cause corruption in the file or folder structure. Physically bumping or jarring a computer can cause disk error checking the head that reads disks to hit the surface and damage sectors. Once some sort of error occurs it can propagate to create more errors so a regularly scheduled disk checkup is part of good system maintenance. Chkdsk can also serve as an early warning that a hard drive is deteriorating. Disks gradually wear out and sectors may become bad. If Chkdsk starts finding bad sectors, that is a sign that a drive may need replacing. Unfortunately, many hard drive failures are sudden but nonetheless Chkdsk is an important line of defense. How to run Chkdsk - Graphical interface Chkdsk can be run as a command-line application or it can be run with a graphical user interface. Typical home PC users will probably use the latter so I will discuss it first. Chkdsk is not normally listed in the All Programs menu but is reached by the following steps: Open "My Computer" and right-click on the icon for the drive that is to be checked. In the context menu that opens, choose "Properties". Click the "Tools" tab at the top of the Properties window. In the "Error-checking" section, click the button "Check now". A box showing the options for running Chkdsk is then available as shown in the figure below. Generall
