Thread: checkdisk problem

hello guys......
every time i boot up my pc....it runs a checkdisk on d drive and saying something about the "inconsistency in NTFS volume"....i don;t know why??
i always shut down computer properly....and this checkdisk never happened earlier....so why it's happening???/
can you suggest something???and how can i cure this???can it cause any harm to my comp??
is there anything wrong in my drive(segate sata 160 gb)

aiting for ur reply.....

Try using Tuneup utilities, it has an option called Disc Doctor under Solve Problems.

Click here to download.

This is a trial version. For now you can use this and fix your problem. You can find a key later if you wish to use it further.

can you say why this is happening???
i am worried...could it harm damage to my comp??
i went to the d drive-properties-check errors-automatically fix file system errors-and it prompted to restart my pc.....
again check disk takes place.....but problem stilll remains.....
i need help.......

Please try the tuneup utilities. It is the best software available for fixing file system errors. It is quite safe. I have fixed similar problems using it. There is another option called 1 Click maintenance. That to is too good for system health and performance.This kind of problem may be due to a corrupted file system.

It is much better than windows utilities. If you are concerned , take a back up of your data in D drive.

You can also try system restore.

Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System restore

Restore to a point before which this error started to happen.

If all these fails, move your files to another drive and format D.

thanks yaar..i have tried tune up utilities.....

i has thoroughly checked my d drive and found no error.... but the problem remains.....

Move your files to another drive,

My computer > Select D drive > Right Click > Format

This should solve your problem. If not, please update here.

try this command
CHKDISK D: /F /R

/F - Fixes errors on the disk
/R - locate bad sectors and recovers readable information


If you want to exclude the drive from scanning during bootup, try
chkntfs D: /x

yes i have tried that also...ie tried to format the drive by selecting the option from right clicking the volume.....but it says...
it can not format as some disk utilities are using it.....something like that....
i think there may be some virus attck.....but my antivirus is showing nothing....
plz suggest....i don't want to format now as there are many important data in my comp....
i have two primary drives namely c: and K:,and one extended drive where five logical drives r D:,E:,F:,G:,H:
.......

tried this?

Disconnect internet, restart the system and then try format. It worked for me when I formatted my I drive. It was showing a similar complaint.
