How to use Scandisk on Windows 10?

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the steps below to run Scandisk.

• Press Windows key + E on your keyboard to open File Explorer.
• In the File Explorer window, click on This PC in the left navigation pane.
• A list of drives is displayed on the right side of the window. Right-click on the drive you want to run Scandisk on and select
  Properties.
• In the Properties window, click on the Tools tab.
• Click the Check button in the Error Checking section.
• The computer needs to restart to run Scandisk without any interruptions.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to post your query for further assistance.

Regards,

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

ScanDisk not finishing from Windows environment.

I'm looking at Computer Management and 3 partitions on my 2nd hard drive have not been unlocked yet at hour 30 of the ScanDisk. They are a 499 MB Recovery Partition (Healthy), a 100 MB EFI System Partition (Healthy), and an 855 MB Recovery Partition (Healthy).
All 3 are listed with 100% Free Space, so if there was anything there, it's either inaccessible (locked during ScanDisk), or wiped (meaning I'll have to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch).
