Windows chkdsk cannot run at boot

I have this problem at the moment, and I hope to resolve this ASAP.
As I attempt to run chkdsk as Windows is running (both options checked), I was told that I have to restart the system to be able to run chkdsk for repairing errors. However when I restarted or boot up my machine since then, I've always receive the following message:
"The type of the file system is NTFS
Cannot open volume for direct access
Windows have finished checking the disk"
I'm currently running Windows XP Professional SP2 on ThinkPad T60. I have all preinstalled and ThinkPad softwares updated, with Diskeeper 2008 Professional installed to replace the pre-installed Diskeeper Lite. This is the first time I face the problem with the exactly same settings and programs (including the Diskeeper 2008 Professional).
Just to note that I've recovered the machine to factory defaults a week back.
EDIT: I really hope to get solutions fast, as I can't use my laptop for my work. Been using another computer but it has little space left (about 200MB+).
Also, I find that after typing the command, "fsutil dirty set c:" in an attempt to solve the problem, I can't seem to access Safe Mode now; the screen always gets stuck at a list of program paths on the screen, and it seems to be loading something in the background.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I searched the forum for "chkdsk start" and found the this thread which may be of some help. Both Vista and XP are discussed.

Windows update cannot run because service is not working.

Thinkpad E545, Windows 7 (64 bit) Professional. When I attempt to run Windows Update I get the message "Windows update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not working." Microsoft Fix-It does not help. I found a YouTube posted by Richard Lloyd and followed the steps: the Windows Update service is running, the Background service is running. Several web sources including Microsoft point to an Intel RST driver. I downloaded this driver g1io15ww.exe and ran the file, but still no joy. A solution would be welcome, and Happy Thanksgiving. -- Alan

Hello and welcome,
Your laptop is AMD-based (IIRC) so an Intel driver isn't going to help.
If the update issue is caused by the AHCI driver incorrectly reporting physical sector size (that's what those IRST reports are about) it might be fixed by installing the correct AHCI driver for your laptop:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e5...
There are other reasons for Win update failures, so this isn't a sure thing. Worth a try, maybe. I've personally only seen this issue with Intel hardware.

Get Error Message "itunes cannot run because some of its required files ...

complete message that i see in a pop-up window -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date. When I reinstall ipod off the CD and/or itunes/quicktime from iTunesSetup.exe file version 7.0.2.16 it installs ok. If I choose unintall then reinstall or if I repair the itunes software the install program says everything is fine.
However when I connect to Ipod. The ipod window comes up in itunes and then shuts down real fast. Itunes continues to work but i can't see the ipod.
The showstopper happens when i shut down itunes after the attempt to connect the ipod. When I restart itunes i get the message -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
Reinstall **** resumes.
What files are missing?
It would be nice if the interface offered more details. Or I could go online to a self diagnostic and repair web page like Microsoft offers.
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. -- Einstien..
I think things are too simple...
What are my options?
Help Please.

"itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
Just uninstall and reinstall. If you get some kind of error in the uninstall process, then if it were me, I'd use windows system restore to restore your system right before the original install of iTunes. Even if you don't get the error when you uninstall, it sounds to me like it hasn't been installed properly. So if you decide to go with system restore and the same thing happens, I would download a fresh copy of iTunes installer from their website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Make sure you download the one for Windows.
"I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date."
This is because that you are. Microsoft has nothing to do with iTunes updates.

Cannot access Mac OS Partition from windows 8 running in boot camp

So I installed Windows 8.1 Pro through Boot Camp but I can't access the Mac OS partition from windows even though boot camp partition shows up while I'm on Mac OS. I have installed all the drivers from apple but still it didn't work. Then I downloaded Paragon HFS+ which was free for windows 8 and 8.1 thinking that this would solve my problem. The instructions told me to change the drive letter for mac partition from disk management by right clicking the drive pressing "change drive letter and path" button. But the "change drive letter and path" key in grey color and I can't press it. Can somebody please help?

Can quickbooks 2012 for windows run on boot camp?

I just bought the new macbook pro, and was wondering if I can run Quickbooks 2012 for windows on the boot camp using windows?

Yes. But first you have to install Windows.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Windows cannot write to boot camp

I am using OS X 10.9.4 and boot camp is running windows 7. When I try to get onto windows it won't let me so I checked some code and it turned out that Windows cannot write to boot camp. Please help me solve this.

Does 'get onto Windows' mean you rebooted your machine and switched from OSX to Windows?
When you check 'some' code, is it the Windows Event Viewer error codes you are referring to?
Windows cannot and has never been able to write to Bootcamp. Bootcamp is a utility (Assistant) and an Installation Manager. Default behavior between OSX and Windows files systems is that they can read files, but cannot write files across partitions which contain these OSes.

Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp

I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there.

App cannot run on Windows Server 2012 R2

I have an application that runs well on Windows Server 2012. The application has two editions 32-bit and 64-bit, both are from the same code base.
However, on Windows Server 2102 R2, the x64 version of the application works, but the 32-bit version does not run. Invoking the 32-bit of the application generates the "This app cannot run on you PC" message.
I tried the compatibility troubleshooting, and it does not help.
Any suggestion on what could be the problem?
Thanks.

I cannot sync my iPhone 4s with my Windows 7 laptop running Outlook 2010

Before upgrading to iOS 7, I had no problems with syncing my calendar automatically between my iPhone 4s running 5.1.?? and my calendar on my Windows 7 laptop running Outlook 2010. The calendar resides on the laptop. There is no exchange server.
When I updated to iOS 7, I had to update my iTunes as well. About a week later, I noticed that the calendar events entered into my laptop were not showing up in my iPhone. I got more and more frustrated with the <insert expletive> iOS 7 look and feel, and this just is just the straw that broke the camel's baclk. We're not talking about a feature not added, but a feature broken on purpose. If I cannot get this working, I'm going to Android.
I have tried multiple settings in the iPhone: turning iCloud on and off. All items are checked in the settings panel on iTunes and Outlook. I have read several threads in this support area, followed directions, and to naught. Several web sites have stated that it is not going to work again. I hope that not to be the case, and that the folk here may have a solution. I have updated the phone to 7.04 to no avail.
Thanks in advance,

I am having a very similar problem. Until 12 hours ago, I was using my recently replaced 4s (with iOS7) flawlessly, receiving emails and calendar info from Exchange (Outlook 2010). But starting last night, it all stopped. I have deleted and added the account several times, tried making simple changes (considering whether the username is case sensitive, or not, etc.) and cannot fix it. I have iOS 7.04. Interestingly, the first time I changed the case to lower case, it seemed to respond immediately, and downloaded many emails with no sender, no content, and with a 12/31/69 date. Yes, 1969. And then nothing happened. Help please!

Please help!!! Cannot run Windows Update in Win 7 Pro after changing new hard-drive. (X201s)

Hi everyone,
I have been using my thinkpad x201s for more than one year by now. And recently I change a new and larger hard drive for my laptop. When I tried the thinkpad rescue and recovery disc on the new hard drive, everything works fine except that I cannot run Windows Updates after the installation was finished. The recovery DVDs were burned directly from the original image stored in the computer when the first I received my laptop last year.
Every time when I try to run the Windows Update, it shows the following: "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer."
I restarted my computer later but nothing changed. Can't run Windows Updates and can't even install IE9.
I then moved back to my old hard drive and everything is normal, no problem with Windows Updates. I also tried to create a back-up image by running win 7 Backups and Restore. Later when I changed back to the new drive and followed the instructions to restore my system from the image I created earlier in a USB drive, it worked except that still the system can't run Windows Updates program.
I'm now getting very confused and upset, is it something to do with the software copyright? It's been a week now and I tried to Google the similar problem but no solutions work here. All I want to do is moving my current system to the new hard drive so that I can continue to use my laptop but it just failed updating every time.
Could anyone kindly tell me what to do when changing hard drive in order to avoid the problem I'm dealing with? Sorry I'm not a pro type user and just want my laptop to work appropriately.
My warranty has already expired so I guess the Lenovo Technical Hotline wouldn't answer my questions anymore. Please help!! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!!

I'm not sure this is the issue, but from your description, it seems as though all you have to do is activate the windows update service. If I were you, I'd search for "Services" in the start menu, open it and look for "Windows Update". Check in its properties that it is set to "Automatic (Delayed)", if it isn't, set it, and start the service, you should then be able to check for updates, be careful though that none of your other programs aren't stopping the service, usually these programs are there to "optimize your performance" or "boost your system",...
Hope this helps.

Cannot get windows update to run after hard drive install and recovery

I cannot get windows update to run after a new shdd 1 tb was installed.
I have a pavilion dv7 4083cl. My recovery set did not work so I used the OEM set.
Any help would be appreciated

Hello kjdsynz,
Have you taken a look at the HD & SSD manual? Did the recovery fail? If you take a look at this page for help with that.
Please let me know if this has helped.
Good luck!

HI daddio,
Ok some things first I need to know...Did you use Microsoft cleanup utility to clean up all those uninstalls you have done?
I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

Windows XP i-Tunes wont open.Message comes up "i-Tunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.Please reinstall i-Tunes. Tried reinstalling but quits midway thru installation

I have Windows XP & until recently i-Tunes was working fine.Now when I try to open I get this message "i-Tunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall i-Tunes. So I did. Midway thru ,installation stops & same message is repeated. So I uninstalled i-Tunes, Downloaded new one,went thru installation process for the same result & same message. Have tried procedure 4 times,resulting in same result each time. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did try to uninstall and reinstall. It messed up my computer. I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup. This was not helpful at all. I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all. Geeze.......

Use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.
