  1. CHKDSK might have broke my partition


    My old hard disk was fully broken, when I plug it in it makes the computer almost frozen.But I repaired the hard disk with good percentage to only restore the data.The disk was working very good, yes sometimes it freeze but at least working and I took some of my old data copy and it worked.I wanted to defragmentation to make the disk better, but I saw that it have dirty bit or something like that so I tried chkdsk to solve that.But chkdsk broke my partition!Now my partition is defined as "RAW" but when I use chkdsk again, it restore the partition name and say it and partition file system type

    :)

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

  3. How do I run CHKDSK on EFI System Partition?

    On Windows, I used DISKPART to assign the EFI System partition a letter. Fired up DISKPART, and typed LIST DISK to find the disk, followed by SELECT DISK <N> (where is the drive number). Followed the same steps to find the proper partition (i.e. LIST PARTITION followed by SELECT PARTITION <N>), and then simply typed ASSIGN LETTER = X to have Windows mount the partition to letter X.

    Then opened CMD with administrative access. Ran CHKDSK X: /f /r

    Then, I tried installing Ubuntu once again, and it installed successfully!

    CHKDSK might have broke my partition

    chkdsk c: /F

    It might be an error on the drive. We suggests that you follow the troubleshooting steps below:

    • Run Disk Cleanup utility to clear your junk files.
    • Open an elevated CMD type sfc /scannow and hit Enter to run the System File Checker.
    • Once the scan is completed, restart your computer. Remember to exit ChkDsk
      during boot.
    • Next, again open CMD as admin type
      Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
      and hit Enter to repair the Windows image.
    • Now see if ChkDsk able to complete the scan.

    Note: Before doing the steps, make sure you save a back up of your files.

    Let us know how it goes.
