| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Windows Vista Check Disk & Disk Defragmenter Hello Vista Forums, I was thinking to make my computer faster and lose some space, so i went ahead and did a Error-checking and got the Vista Permission thing and continued and i checked Automatic fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors then pressed start and nothing happen , i ran Check Disk with admin cmd and works. I rebooted my computer to see if chkdsk works and its not theen tried to do the error-checking and still doesnt work. Then when i tried to use my Disk Defragmenter , i waited till the analysis finished then i got the thing that said your file performance can be improved, defrag now. And i clicked which disk i want to defrag and press ok , nothing happened and juss went back to analysis then your file performance can be improved, defrag now. btw i tried to use Defraggler and ran as a admin when i click analyze, nothing happens and i looked at the status and says Analysis failed, i even tried juss going defrag and the status said building file list failed. PLEASE HELP ME GUYS! iv been stressing cuhs of my computer ![]() i have trend micro internet security and i got blue screen when i got on my desktop |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Vista Check Disk & Disk Defragmenter Click the link in my signature and under step 4 download the zip file and extract the shortcuts. When you click them they open a cmd window, dont close that window. Be patient that window will dissapear by itself. These advanced shortcuts are the best free defraggers there are. To get better you would need to buy something like PerfectDisk, so dont bother with defraggler etc... EDIT: forgot to say to get checkdisk to work, click on the vista start orb and type regedit in the search field and hit enter. Next navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Man On the right hand pane you should see BootExecute right click on it and select Modify then past this in: autocheck autochk /r \??\C: PDBoot.exe autocheck autochk * Then click on OK and exit regedit. Then restart your pc. Last edited by stew2; 06-26-2009 at 03:46 PM.. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Vista Check Disk & Disk Defragmenter MMMM ok you can do this instead. Click the vista start orb and type in the search bar cmd then right click on it and select Run as administrator In the cmd window that opens type this defrag c: -b then hit enter and allow it to close by itself. It should take only a few minutes. Next do the same thing again but this time type defrag c: -w This time it may take a few hours to finish so be patient.

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Vista Check Disk & Disk Defragmenter Yeah thats it lol. When you do the -b one the window should stay open but have a blinking cursor then the window should dissapear by itself. For the -w one it will say what you said above but have a blinking cursor. Be patient then it will say Defragmentation report for volume c and list some stuff underneath it. Be patient again and just leave the window open till it finishes by itself. You can go to this link: How To Make Vista more responsive and faster as that maybe explains it better than i can. If you go to page 2 on that link it will also show you how to run check disk using the cmd window. |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Vista Check Disk & Disk Defragmenter I dont understand what you mean. How did you check disk for errors? Everything you need i have said or is in that tutorial i linked to, just read page 1 and 2 of it and do exactly as whats said there. I'm going out now so someone else will have to help if you run into more difficulties following it. Good Luck |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Vista Check Disk & Disk Defragmenter When you right click on your hard drive and select properties then click on tools and then click on Check Now put a tick in both the error checking boxes and click start A box will then appear saying windows cant check the disk while its in use so you click on Schedule Disk Check . The next time you restart vista after the boot screen instead of going to the logon screen a disk check starts. If it doesnt and you think your vista has become corrupt and theres major issues with it, then run a full virus scan and then backup your data and reinstall vista. |
