Hey,
A week ago my computer was getting very slow and i was getting driver errors. After restarting the computer and repairing the driver, I was still getting this error.
I scanned my computer for malware etc. with Malwarebytes, spybot and avira. I cleaned my disk etc.
I recovered my pc to and reinstalled windows, because i was missing multimedia class service.
After still having a shitty performance i recovered my pc to the factory settings.
After that I updated windows 8 to windows 10 and checked my driver status.
Alls was good, but after a day I was again getting driver errors and my performance was shitty again.
Now I let diskcheckup run, but I don't know the parameters. This is done after i repaired my drive.
Do i need a new hard drive?
It's Power cycle count seems pretty high. It's possible that drive is going to sleep a lot. For testing purposes you can turn it off in your Powers saving plan > Advanced options.
Havent got the error anymore, but the booting time is still 30 + minutes. After booting the first 30 minutes even my task manager is not responding after opening the app.
Maybe time to defrag it ?Havent got the error anymore, but the booting time is still 30 + minutes. After booting the first 30 minutes even my task manager is not responding after opening the app.
I tried to defrag it, bit i dont know if of was finished because de C disk dissapeared in the defrag screen. Afterwards the disk error reappeared. Scanning now
Run Check Disk on the Drive.
Go to Start/Search and typeCMD, right click the CMD results and Run As Administrator. In the Elevated Command Prompttype chkdsk /R and press enter. Now type a Yfor Yes, and restart the computer. Check Diskwill run at next bootup and go through 5 stages. It will check for any bad sectors, and it will take a long while.
This is what I did.
- I did the steps in cmd like you said
- I pressed restart and at the restart it said scanning and repairing C for like 3 min. After that i got the Windows log in screen.
- I thougt this was weird so typed chkntfs in cmd and it said something like c is dirty, use /c.
- I did de chkdsk /R again but imstead of restarting I pressed shut down. While schutting down it said "getting Windows ready, dont shut down your computer" for a while. It didnt go alway so i shut down the computer by holding the power button. I removed the battery and the power cord and went to sleep.
I just startend my computer and the chkdsk was again just 3 min at my screen, after which the Windows log.in screen slowly appeared.
With parted magic I get a read failure aswell.
