I am a novice user. I would assume it is on one of the 6 floppy setup disks I just used or on drive C somewhere, but I do not have access to windows to search for it.
Background Summary: Had power outage. Blue Screened. Had no access to safemode, a setup CD, or recovery console. I inserted all 6 floppy disks then selected 'r' for repair. Apparently chkdsk cannot find Autochk. Chkdsk requires Autochk. Chkdsk automatically looks for Autochk. I do not have a setup CD; just the floppies.
Then I could insert the floppy at the prompt and tell it to look on drive 'A', correct? I made the floppy disks on a compaq using Wiin ME but do not have consistent access to that pc it is not mine.
I have papers to write for school and am getting pretty anxious have been trying to fix all weekend. This is exactly what happens if the partition is flagged as invisible ie: "hidden NTFS". This happens on most computers like Dell, Compaq, HP, etc, where there is a hidden partition that contains system files. Privacy policy. Runs when the computer is started and prior to Windows Server starting to verify the logical integrity of a file system. Instead, autochk runs in the following situations:.
The autochk command-line tool cannot be directly run from the command-line. Instead, use the chkntfs command-line tool to configure the way you want autochk to run at startup.

You'll be prompted with a permission dialog box. In the box, click " YES ". You should have a black screen with a blinking cursor. SFC will begin scanning for autochk.

The thirds paragraph states Seagate recommends that you consider repairing the problem sectors.
No mention of how to repair the sectors. You didn't get this box at the end of the test? I would say try the long test again. Take a look at the tutorial here and let me know if the screens match up. It says you should have had a popup after done. Funny you should suggest that I run it again. I decided to try again since you had asked about that screen which I did not get and it is now running again.
Will check out the link for the tutorial while it is running. IF you don't get the popup go ahead and click View Log button and see if it has anything useful in it. The drive should be replaced. That is with the colored text version screens shown on that page. But I'm guessing that it doesn't matter since the same statement is showing up on my screen.
Although it is odd that the other 3 options are not showing up in the Advanced Features drop down menu. Last edited: May 28, I don't know what to tell you. The old Maxtor utility is still available and may work on that drive if you want to burn another CD. I can't be certain it will let you run the long test if the drive fails the short test. Well at this point I'm guessing that it can't possibly make things any worse than they already are.
I just don't see how you start the text version. I have Seatools on disc somewhere but with no errors I can't duplicate the popup box or lack of it. I guess you can give PowerMAX a try. I am assuming re-certification is repair errors but I don't see that specifically mentioned. At this point I guess it can't hurt - I tried the link you gave me to download it and selected the option to just download it since the other link at that site got me nowhere.
I also downloaded and will read the. Will burn the iso with image burn and run that and see what happens. Will get back to you after that is done. I'm guessing that if I want to fix this pc I might need to replace the hard drive if this can't fix the bad sectors. Sorry, This is the link to the main diagnostic page. You never know when the next bad sector will effect a critical OS file. The only way to even attempt to salvage that drive would be to do a low-level format that will mark all the bad sectors and then do a fresh install of XP.
Even then you are rolling the dice every time you turn it on. The only caveat is that in the past I have use drives like this even for OS installs but never on a machine I was dependent on. I've had drives that had a bad SMART status last a couple of years after a low level format but I doubt I ever used them on a daily basis.
On a machine I use daily, as soon as I see a Smart warning I replace the drive. No thinking--just do it. They are just too unreliable for anything you care about.
Not a problem. The second link at that page gives you the. The tests are running now. After the next test I got a red!!! PowerMax can attempt to repair these errors. The data on these sectors may be lost by running the repair. In most cases the data is already unreadable and unrecoverable. Passed Advanced Test - Congratulations! Your drive has been repaired. Press any key to continue. I am going to run the first 3 tests again to see if it passes all 3 of them.
Well, I ran the first 3 tests again and it passed the first test; on the basic quick test it again said advanced test required Test status — full read scan of the drive is recommended. Your drive has passed the Basic Quick Test But this time when I ran the advanced test it stated that it passed!
Should I do the Burn in Test or exit and try restarting the pc without any discs and see what happens??? I would skip the burn in test, for now. I say just see if it will boot or which error you get.
