  1. Dirty C: Volume


    Hello, I recently encountered a problem with my NVMe drive - it says my volume is dirty. So I started researching on the internet and I've tried everything found on the first pages on Google so far, but nothing helps. I've tried running cmd with Admin and chkdsk /r, it wanted to schedule restart computer and when I ran the command again after restart to check if it worked it didn't. I've also tried running in safe mode cmd only because it said it can't fix anything unless volume is not in use but it didn't help either. And so on, so on. It's an infinite loop with no solution for me, that's why I'm asking here for support. Thank you in advance for your help.

    :)

    Dirty disk C and blue screen

    Hello, so first when I started a game ETS2 Multiplayer blue screen appeared and my PC crashed. Something like this was written on the screen: STOP: 0x0000001E (and a lot of zeros in these brackets). Following some steps on the internet I also realized
    that my disc C is "dirty". So I don't know if this is connected and I don't know how to fix this thing. Any suggestions? P.S. Also when I try to run PC in safe mode it is stuck on classpnp.sys

    Dirty C: Volume

    external exFAT drive was marked dirty, chkdsk/f/r stuck at volume label

    Windows 7 froze while moving a file from c: to d: (exFAT) upon restart the video played but wmplayer shut down when it got to the corrupted part of the file. No problem? Just delete... there is no delete. Delete key? Nothing. I could have duplicated that
    file but was no longer able to move files to the d: drive >Error 0x80071AC3: Volume is Dirty< Copied a smaller test file from d: back to c: which still works.

    I tried
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/error-0x80071ac3-volume-is-dirty/1341e0b3-0ead-4d49-a866-ad5e3c028aea
    But first did a regular chkdsk which found no bad files or sectors. The drive was still accessible. Started the chkdsk/f/r
    which got stuck at the volume label and has been for hours. The drive is still shows up with the correct label but now is denied access and shows no data under properties. I know this isn't normal but can I kill the process without damaging the drive or filesystem?
    Is it hiding the contents to protect any action that might interfere with chkdsk or did it just reformat and basically delete all my files for no reason? Here is the elevated command prompt after restart, the above link did not resolve the dirty bit as seen
