E drive scan-check for errors

Question

HI,

When going thru my monthly clean up and opimisation, I came across the attached on a non-primary drive.

It IS an SSD, I researched and a number of advises correlated into running checkdsk (as an admin of course), with '/f /r', after the drive...on a reboot.

It found a corrected a number of errors, however the message is still being displayed.

If anyone KNOWS how to resolve this, I would be most appreciative and (of course) more than interested.

cheers

Answer 1

I suspect due to bad sectors there’s no enough space on the drive to move the files to good sectors, hence why the drive is showing full.

I would run chkdsk E: /f /r with the /perf command. chkdsk E: /f /r /perf

Hi Elise,

Thanks for your response.

Could you kindly read my initial query again...I did this and it took quite a while to do what it had to do, as i had to reboot first (so that chkdsk could 'release' the drive or something).

Looking forward to your next update

Hi, I'm Elise, an Independent Advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

Could you run the following command, from the command prompt, ran as an administrator:

chkdsk e: /f /r

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Elise

Answer 5

not sure if this will work for most people but on the logon screen press and hold shift while shutting down there will be advanced startup repair stuff on boot not sure if this will work but hopefully im having a brain wave here because it works on most computers but not all so either im the dumbest man or earth or this is a major brain wave
