Check Disc V Ssd Problem

I have just upgraded my PC to SSD, I cloned the SSD off my old hard drive, set it to boot in bios, all appears to be fine BUT PC keeps disk checking on boot up and when I check my SSD properties the PC says it has found disk errors. I have checked the SSD with crystal disc and everything is perfect. What do I need to do ???

 

I would run chkdsk /r from a command prompt. it will reboot and might take a while.

 

It would help if you gave computer/OS details at least.

W10 2004 has had an issue for months with mis-id'ing SSDs as HDDs and defragging them instead of just 'optimizing', there have been at least two failed attempts to patch it and another attempt (maybe on a diff. build?) was launched just a few days ago.

MS have been their usual mysterious selves with this, there's a chance that you have a variant of this bug - get your OS fully patched and see if it helps.

 

Already done but nothing changes, crystal says SSD is 100% but windows says it finds errors and keeps disc checking on start up, when it starts checking it virtually finishes immediately as I'm guessing there is nothing to fix

 

Hi satrow, does this help ?

OS details for W10 should include the build # or the output from the CMD: 'winver'.

Some info/links on the 2nd of the last three 'fixes' here.

If Earthling and the others here can't get you sorted, and you don't want to turn off the check, I'd suggest a clean install.

 

Hi satrow
Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.508)

 

So I put the old HDD back in to see if I had brought anything over in the cloning process and attempted to fix that, at first I tried all suffixes, f,r,x to the chkdsk and then in isolation each and I ended up in the same circcle of events.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk C: /f
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

And everytime I said yes to the system restart it just went through the same checking process it has been doing and then when I checked the drive still had errors ???

 

So you cloned from a 'faulty' Windows installation?

 

satrow, ashamedly it would appear so but in my defence I was advised that as the HDD disc had faults in it the "data" coming over would not have the same physical faults occuring in SSD, obviously I was sold a pup there.
I wanted to upgrade to SSD anyway so I was advised that this would not necessitate the need to keep attempting to repair the HDD

 

I've just tried to fix the HDD with the mini tool partition wizard at it returns the same message as above

 

You are probably facing a clean install to the SSD, but there is one other route you might want to try - imaging. When you clone you get everything, good or bad, but when you image you only get the data from all currently active sectors. When I'm changing disks I always image rather than clone and it has always been successful. You need imaging software such as Macrium Reflect Free and a connected drive with plenty of free space to hold the image file. You also have to be sure to create the rescue disk which you need in order to restore the image to a different drive. Good luck.

 

I'll try that method earthling, is it as simple as completely clearing the content of my SSD (just delete or is there a more robust method), then imaging my old HDD to my SSD

 

Having just downloaded macrium I not it allows me to select just the c drive which is the one I am having problems with, do I assume that I can delete C off my SSD (by whichever is best method) and complete the image from HDD to my SSD

 

You can't simply select C on your HDD and restore it directly to the SSD if that's what you are thinking. Having decided what you want in your image your first run creates an image file which is stored on an intermediate drive. After swapping the drives you boot the computer with the Macrium rescue media, find your image file and restore it to the SSD. You don't need to clear the SSD first.

 

Thanks earthling I'll attempt and advise

 

Starting to image onto a 3rd drive and got an error message MFT corrupt - error code = 6. Please run chkdsk C: /r seems that even imaging will not work

 

Yeah, imaging will not proceed if it detects disk errors. It's why I use that method rather than cloning. If chkdsk can't correct it I simply don't know what would. Clean install looming

 

Does the Macrium Reflect have the 'Fix MBR problems' option showing on the main page? If not the 'BackUpper ' does. It has rescued disks for me before.

 

It's the MFT, not the MBR. (Master File Table) but still worth a try with Aomei Backupper

 

A couple options in 'miniTool partition' wizard also.

 

Some repair options in 'EasyBCD' also. Any of these may be worth looking at or trying. Ask questions if needed. I know Earthling has been through this stuff plenty.

 

YEAH all solved, one tip in an article link I was sent advised to try and run CHKDSK in safe mode, in my switching off attempts to get into safe mode the PC went into automatic repair mode, after a couple of hours disc was repaired, have successfully re-cloned to the SSD and all is clean and working fine by the looks of things.
Thanks to everyone for your help and input.
