Windows 7 Reverse Hard Disc Volume Errors

Awesome Applesauce · Feb 17, 2009

Hello, and I have the unlucky pleasure of getting another volume error in my hard drive. I've already had this happen when I was running on VISTA, and had to re-install it, but I really don't want to have to re-install 7as well. My problem is that when I scan for hard drive errors, my computer never schedules a scan for errors when I re-start the machine. Is there some why I can do this myself? Can I create a hot launch disc for Windows 7 so I can scan the hard disc?

Would making a recovery do the trick? I noticed the option under recovery options.

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with scheduling a disk scan for errors on your Windows 7 system. Here are some steps you can take to try and address this problem without having to reinstall the operating system:

Manually Schedule a Disk Check in Windows 7

Command Prompt Method:
Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
Type cmd and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
Code:
```
 chkdsk C: /f
```
Replace C: with the drive letter of the disk you want to check. Adding the /f parameter fixes errors automatically.
You may receive a message stating that the disk is in use and you'll need to schedule the check for the next time the system restarts. Type Y and press Enter to confirm.
Restart your computer to initiate the disk check.
From within Windows:
Open Computer or This PC.
Right-click on the drive you want to check.
Select Properties.
Go to the Tools tab and click on Check now under Error-checking.
Check both options: Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
Click Start.
