| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Check Disk - chkdsk Hello Ashishnk, and welcome to Vista Forums. Allowing chkdsk to run should clear the dirty flag. If not, the using the chkntfs /d command in step 2 of METHOD THREE resets the drive. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Check Disk - chkdsk A quick question relating to running a CHKDSK on an external hard drive. My laptop doesn't boot up if I have it plugged in so I don't manage to do a check on start-up but if I use method one, it takes an awful long time and I am rather reluctant to leave the drive plugged in and running for long periods of time. Is there a possibility to do a check on it on start-up or should I just be patient and not worry about leaving the drive on for a long time (LaCie, 1T with over 700G used)? Thanks very much in advance! |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Check Disk - chkdsk Hello Aagje, and welcome to Vista Forums. Since it is an external drive and not your system C: drive, Vista allows you to run chkdsk on it since it is not in use. It will not make much more difference if you ran chkdsk at startup for the drive though. As long as you have the external drive and laptop where it can get proper airflow, then you have nothing to worry about it running for long periods of time. Hope this helps, Shawn |
