Perpetual HDD error scan when "dual booting" Windows XP and 8
This isn't a request for help, it's a likely solution to a problem
I heard somebody else also having. In my situation, it's not really "dual booting" since I'm using Macrium Reflect to copy the whole OS back and forth, but maybe it can apply to the dual boot scenario too. If you have a problem with your drives being check-disked every time you boot between windows XP and Windows 8, the problem might be the recycle bin. Preliminarily speaking, I found a workaround, disabling the recycle bin on both installations (XP & 8). I also changed the Macrium Reflect boot disk, but I don't think that was effective. I think it was disabling the recycle bin in both installations. I got that clue from (I think) Windows 8 at some point in time throwing up an error about the recycle bin being corrupted. I wouldn't want to forever have the recycle bins disabled, but it might serve as a decent workaround until I can get out of Windows XP and cope with Windows 8 on a regular basis. -- Sorry if this ends up being a duplicate. I have waited for hours since first attempting to post through Eternal September. |

If you're dual booting those two OSes, try going into the Power control panel or where you can set the "disk spindown time" and disable disk spin down by setting the time to zero. CHKDSK stopped running after I did that. Paul |

CHKDSK stopped running after I did that. Aren't you supposed to provide a path... I don't know where that setting is. I'm not technically dual booting, I'm using an image of both operating systems. It has to be restored every time I change from one to the other. The problem has been stopped several times, problem is that it started up again. I've had the recycle bin disabled in both installations for more than enough time to prove that corruption of the recycle bin is the problem here. There might be ways around corrupting the recycle bin or easier ways to fix the recycle bin after it's corrupted. I don't doubt that it could have something to do with your setting. But I doubt that you have the same problem, since I think a problem might be prevented that way but not fixed that way. And as you know... Unless you know what is causing the problem, only time will tell whether your method has fixed the problem. I'd be happy to test your method (if I knew the path and) if I thought it would work for the problem I have here. But, currently, the only fix I know of here requires copying all the files off of the drive and then restoring them back to the drive, and I don't feel like doing that again. There might be another method to recover, by manipulating the recycle bin (if your method doesn't work), but I don't know what that might be. |

CHKDSK stopped running after I did that. I had this problem after installing 8 on a separate drive, with xp vista and 7 also each on its own drive. I select the boot drive in the bios to choose the operating system. I found the culprit to be fast shutdown which is on by default in windows 8. After disabling fast shutdown I have never had this problem since. http://www.addictivetips.com/windows...-8-disable-it/ |

After disabling fast shutdown [actually "fast startup"] I have never had this problem since. http://www.addictivetips.com/windows...ast-startup-wi ndows-8-disable-it/ That makes sense. I won't be surprised if it's a a shutdown problem as Paul suggested and you have linked to. I'll try enabling the recycle bin and disabling "fast startup" in Windows 8. |

I won't be surprised if it's a a shutdown problem as Paul suggested and you have linked to. I'll try enabling the recycle bin and disabling "fast startup" in Windows 8. "Piehead" could be right. At the time, I changed a couple settings at the same time, and it was my assumption disabling spindown was what fixed it. I could be wrong. I may have done a "powercfg -h off" while I was screwing around. Which could be the same thing as using the tick box (GUI method). Disk spindown is controlled as a Power setting. I see a "Hard Disk" entry here, and that might be what I used. You'd go to the Control Panels and find the one for Power. http://www.eightforums.com/attachmen...s-b.jpg?filter[1]=File%20Folder%20Settings The reason I modified the disk spindown, is I could actually hear the disks spinning down while I was working. Even if it doesn't change the CHKDSK issue, I'd still leave it set that way (disabled by setting it to zero). ******* The suggestion of Piehead is mentioned here as well. http://techtrickz.com/how-to/fix-dis...dows-7-system/ Paul |

Perpetual HDD error scan when "dual booting" Windows XP and 8
Not to take away from any of the skilled and learned replies, but…
Here, and with my configuration, the solution has boiled down to disabling the recycle bin on all of my drives, restarting, and then remaking the recycle bin. An easy fix to the perpetual drive error scan problem here. there might be easier ways to fix the recycle bin after it's corrupted |

An easy fix to the perpetual drive error scan problem here. And did that work? As far as I know, Yes. When the disk was allegedly corrupted, that was the fix. Now, before exiting/restarting Windows 8 and booting to the Macrium Reflect CD to get into XP, I simply do recycle bin properties and disable all of the recycle bins. That seems to work. Apparently it was the recycle bin, here. |
