Windows 10: My C: is dirty after installing a D: drive.

Hello!

So today I installed an extra drive for storage, and as soon as I booted the pc up, windows started scanning for errors. After it scanned, it asked me to reboot again for Security and maintenance. Even after I rebooted, it still asked me to reboot again. So I tried using sfc /scannow and it fixed corrupted files. Then I did fsutil dirty query C: It told me that the drive was dirty. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried doing chkdsk /f /r C: and chkntfs /x C: but none of them worked.

:)

 

When I run fsutil dirty query c: it tells me that the drive is Dirty

When I run fsutil dirty query c: it tells me that the drive is Dirty.

The computer is only a few months old.

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• 
  Do you face this issue specific with this Flash Drive or all the flash drive?
  
• 
  Did you try connecting the flash drive to another system?
  

I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.

Method 1: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
is with your mouse. Refer these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
  
• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.
  
• 
  Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
  

Method 2: Uninstall and reinstall the USB driver for the computer.

Follow the steps below and check if it helps.

a) Press Windows and x key on the start screen and select
Device Manager.

b) Locate the Universal Serial Bus controller’s driver.

c) Right Click on the USB driver icon and select Uninstall.

d) Restart the computer. After restarting the computer, USB driver will automatically be installed.



Connect the Flash drive through the USB and check if it responds.
