Volume Bitmap Errors
Replies: 1 | Post Date: November 11th 2005 | User: Junir | Forums: devhardware.comMy disk is showing up volume bitmap errors when i run chkdsk. It says to fix these errors run chkdsk /f which i do. It then runs the scan upon startup etc. However it does not fix the problem. I have already tried doing a windows format to try and correct the problem. However, this did not work. The drive was previously ext3 so perhaps it needs a low level format (writing 0's) to fix this. What is this volume bitmap for and can i fix it without a low level?

Volume Bitmap Error (mft)
Just yesterday i had a powercut where i live but the ups system took over and did a force shutdown. Unfortunately i think the force shutdown damaged my c: and i keep getting a reoccurring volume bitmap error. I have read up about this but i can't seem to fix it. My harddrive is a 160gb seagate. I did reformat c: and reinstalled windows today but to no avail, the error still occurs. I have run chkdsk at startup to repair the problem, but when windows loads and i run a chkdsk scan on c: in read-only mode the error keeps on coming up. It did say it had something to do with the mft, how would i fix this?
I have partition magic 8. 0 and that isnt reporting any problems with any of the partitions. This problem needs to be fixed because after sometime the pc randomly becomes unstable and i cannot access its resources or anything without hard resetting it.

Optical Out Volume Control
I just installed an ht omega striker sound card and have it attached optical out to my home theater system. Windows volume no longer affects the volume level of my sound system. If i turn it all the way up or down, the level is the same. Have i forfeited my ability to control volume with the mce remote, or am i missing something simple? I've looked elsewhere for an answer to this, but have had no luck.

Chkdsk Volume Is Dirty
Since last night (because of improper shut down), everytime i get onto the computer it runs the chkdsk. While it does it says. "Checking file system on c: the type of the file system is ntfs the volume is dirty". It also says a bunch of other things but most of which disappears before i can read it. Once i am on i get an error message stating. "The file or directory c: is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility". Ok, so i click onto start and then onto run and type in chkdsk c: /f to run chkdsk and fix any system errors. It runs. I get a prompt that says something about the disk being locked and asks if i want to run the chkdsk the next time i restart.
I say yes and restart my pc. Again the pc runs the chkdsk and again it says. "Checking file system on c: the type of the file system is ntfs the volume is dirty". And once i am on i still get the same error message. "The file or directory c: is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility". I also ran chkdsk c: /r which took longer as it was a 5 step process. It did not help either. I ran adaware, disk clean-up, defrag. Nothing helps. I search the help section and found an article regarding detecting and repairing disk errors. It told me to open my computer, click properties, under error checking click check now. Then select scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. I did all this, went through the whole process and it did not help either.
I do not know what else to do. I have googled for info and followed as much as i could. The only thing i have read about and did not try is the recovery thing. I don't know how to and do not feel safe fiddling without some sort of guidance. Can you help? If you can, please remember to talk in itty bitty steps as i am like a kindergartner when it comes to this. All of the items i did up until this point were tips that i found on the microsoft website and other sites.

Dynamic Volume Creation
Ok. I'll try to be as clear as possible with this one. Dell optiplex 740 (athlon xp 5600+, 80gb c: drive, 2x 40gb (to be raid 0), dvd burner) would anyone know how to make my desktop computer think it's a desktop (not a laptop) and allow me to setup dynamic disks?
The os is installed using a corporate windows xp image, not the corporate xp cd. I am trying to setup an office file share to speed up the deployment of our xp image to new pc's in the office (our primary server for this is offsite and rather slow copying the 4gb image each time). I setup the new computer, and attempted to setup the 2x 40gbs into a dynamic raid 0 set. Our image seems to have been mastered on a laptop, since there is no option to convert a drive to dynamic. I have ruled out hardware, as i swapped the c: drive and installed windows via a regular dell xp disc. I converted the drives to dynamic with no issue. I swapped the c: back to our image xp, and now the only option given is to convert the disks back to basic disks. I cannot allow a regular xp computer on our network for security reasons, as the image contains security patches and anti virus, otherwise i would just do that. The optiplex 740 does not have hardware raid, and buying a card is not an option for our office.

Backlit Keyboard With Volume Knob
I really need a backlit keyboard and yet i also want an integrated volume knob. I am sick of pushing buttons for controlling volume. I need a knob! I've been looking at a lot of backlit keyboards but i can't find one with a volume knob. The saitek ones all have a knob, but that's only for controlling the leds! Any ideas guys? The logisys kb208bk seems to have a volume knob but all the reviews on newegg give it 1/5 eggs! It seems there are no xp drivers? What the heck? Would nt drivers work?

Low Volume When Hooked To Two Computers
I have a pc and a brand new mac mini (oct 2009 model). The speakers i am using are logitech z-2300 2. 1. My setup is as follows:
I have 3. 5mm male-to-male cables going from both the pc soundcard and the mac mini audio-out to a y cable with two 3. 5mm female ends and one 3. 5mm male end. The 3. 5mm male end goes to a 3. 5mm female/female connector. The other end of this connector has the 3. 5mm male jack from my speakers hooked to it. With this setup and my old mac mini it allowed me to have audio from both my pc and mac go to one set of 2. 1 speaker system. I could play audio from both sources and the volume was normal. It worked great. However, with this new mac whenever the 3. 5mm jack is hooked into the mac, the audio coming from my pc is extremely low volume. As soon as i unplug the 3. 5mm cable from the mac, the audio coming from my pc returns to a normal volume level. I have no idea why this changed when the only different element in the setup was the new mac mini. How should i go about solving this problem? Should i be using a different setup? Is there a way to boost the volume? I'm pretty clueless about audio, so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Spdif Optical - No More Fixed Volume ?
I use spdif optical out from my x-fi titanium into an external dac. In the past, the volume has always been fixed (meaning that adjusting the software volume in windows does nothing). I use the volume control on my headphone amp. I just noticed that now the windows 7 software volume control is no longer fixed. It is adjusting my volume! What is going on here? I thought spdif optical out was always fixed volume. I don't want software messing with my signal. Yeah yeah, i can leave it at 100%, but some apps adjust the volume (like online flash movies, etc. ). Anyone know whats up?

Striped Volume Goes Offline After Reboot
I am trying to configure a stripped volume using windows vista. The hardware is configured as jbod, and disk array driver is configured as all pass-thru. All of my available disks are visible in vista’s disk management tool. I created a stripped volume using all the disks. The performance is phenomenal. My read performance can reach up to 600mb/s. However, there is one problem. The stripped volume goes offline every time i reboot the system. Then i have to reconfigure everything and do a quick format etc. Any suggestions? Is this a driver issue or a os issue?

Connected Laptop To Tv, How To Set Volume ?
I had connected my hp laptop to lcd tv, how do i set back my volume on laptop?
Answer:- the tv remote should affect the volume if you connect your laptop properly to the tv. This should not affect your laptop sound after you disconnect from the tv.

Hp Pavilion Elite Volume Problem
I've bought a hp pavilion elite desktop package 2 days ago. One thing i noticed is that when ever i use the multimedia keys on my keyboard the volume display will not show up. Also, all my drivers are up to date. So, what might be the problem? Is there any software involved to make the volume display show up?

Chkdsk Unknown Error Raid Volume
@ raid 6 volume on areca 1222 controller: i have some files and directories i can't delete, move because they are corrupted. I asked windows to perform a full check on this storage volume but it always ends with "unknown error" after having supposedly found and deleted some orphan files. What are my options? I have an ass load of large files on this array and no extra space to move and rebuild. Side note:- i know everyone can have different experiences but i will not forgive seagate for the 1. 5 tb hdds fiasco. Cursed be the day i decided to go with these drives for my array. I've had 4 of them spaz-out or die on me with different controllers, pcs.

Volume Mixer Won't Open
At the bottom right of the computer screen is the the speaker icon. It remains with a small red x on the speaker icon if your speakers are muted or not plugged in. My speakers work fine with any other devise such as a mp3 but not with my computer. I click the mixer and nothing happens. But get this, when i right click the volume icon and chose "open volume mixer" the volume control pops up but with no bars to adjust the volume levels. In the top left of the bar it says "no audio devise installed". I went to control panel, then hardware & sound, then sound, and found under playback tab i found "realtek high definition audio" with a green small check on the icon next to it. I know i have the right playback device selected because realtek is the only one there and it is what my computer uses. Do i need to re download realtek? I really have no idea whats goeing on with my computer and its depressing i cant hear my friends or my music over the internet because my computers volume thingy is messed up :(.

Keyboard With Volume Control Buttons, Headphone Socket
I'm having a hard time finding a keyboard that meets the following criteria:-
- Volume control buttons, including mute
- Headphone socket
- Very quiet
- Not much more than 60 bucks
Also backlight keys would be a plus, but as i'm having a hard time finding those four, i won't be picky.

Memory Errors
Around a year ago i moved from my first computer ever (got it about 6 years ago), to my second, which was a major change since this one is built by me. I was ecstatic, and got a q6600, a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3, an 8800gt 512, an antec 900, 4gb ocz 800 ram, and a hiper 580w psu. Soon after buying these components, memory errors started showing up, so i returned the memory for some slightly different memory (nvidia sli ocz 800 4gb). This started to get errors also, so i returned that too, and got 4gb of ocz hpc reaper 800. Just recently, soon after moving into a cosmos 1000, every os that i am running (vista home premium and win 7 beta), has had the "host process for windows has closed", and the past couple of days, half life 2 and garrys mod have been crashing repeatedly, and randomly. Just yesterday x3:reunion crashed while i was playing, so i dropped dropped to windows, only to be greeted with "a plug and play device has terminated unexpectedly" (or something along those lines), and windows restarted. However, during the boot, it blue-screened with "memory management" as the cause. I have checked for viruses several times and have come up clean, and i have reinstalled windows cleanly. I was running a very stable overclock at 3. 00ghz with the memory at 800mhz/1. 8v (rated at 800mhz/2. 1v) and now i only have slight stability at standard (2. 4ghz/800mhz/1. 8v) and the memory is running much hotter than before (x3 crashed at standard clocks). So, after that long winded explanation, my question is this: what are the chances that it is my motherboard at fault? If so, which would be a good replacement?

No Bios Errors - Pc Turned Off
My problem is that i have installed everything in the case and turned it on, the cpu fan started up, spun for a bout 30 seconds, then turned off. It then started spinning again and carries on spinning, though nothing appears on the monitor and no bios beeps are heard. The only sign of life is the cpu fan. There is no os on it yet. Any ideas as to what might be causing it not to boot?

Bsod Tracking Down Errors
I've been getting regular bsod's while gaming lately, and their cause has been rather difficult to track down. I was hoping i could get some ideas on what else to try. I can't really reproduce them on demand, as it can happen anywhere between 30 minutes into gaming to several hours. The specific blue screen errors have to do with either "irql_not_less_or_equal" or "driver_irql_not_less_or_equal" and bluescreenview shows them being caused by any of hal.dll, watchdog.sys, or ndis.sys. It's pretty fair to rule out temperature, as all temps are very low. I've tried reducing gpu clock speed significantly (up to 30% reduction didn't help), increasing ram voltage from 1. 8 to 1. 9, . Simple gpu stress tests (like in steam games) don't trigger the bsod, running memtest for several hours reveals nothing, updated drivers and bios on all, voltages don't look out of whack. Basically i'm out of ideas, and looking for help. I feel like i've looked into the obvious stuff. Specs are:
Mobo: asus p5q (intel chipset)
Cpu: intel q6600
Gpu: bfg gtx260 oc maxcore 55
Ram: corsair xms2 ddr2 2x2gb @ 5-5-5-18 (stock)
Psu: seasonic m12 ss-600hm 600w

System Unstable, But No Errors
Ever since first reformatting and installing windows 7 (back on vista 64 now) my system has been acting seemingly unstable. Some of what's going on:
1) various applications will randomly cause system to black screen. Sometimes i get a "nvidia driver has recovered" message 5 seconds later, sometimes not, and system locks up. 2) artifacts, especially in wc3. Once in a few days in cod4. Oddly, they seem to show up when the card is least stressed. Sometimes i'll have to reboot 3-4 times to get the game to play 5mins without artifacts+locking up, sometimes it runs 5-6hrs no problem and never appears at all until i turn the system off & start it next day. Card stays at 40-45c at all times, doesn't even get hot with most games - cooled via ac accelero s1 + fan, so heat can't be the problem. 3) memtest: pass. Intelburntest: stable. Prime95: stable. Atitool: no artifacts. Absolutely no errors anywhere, everything tells me my system's 100% stable. 4) issue is a lot worse on nvidia 185s than 181s. I have no idea what's going on at this point. I just reinstalled nvidia drivers, hopefully that helps. If not, i'm going to reformat tomorrow.system is in sig. Anyone got any ideas?

8400gs Video Errors
Okay so a friend of mine shipped me this 8400gs for free! Since i am currently using on-board video i figure this has to be better. I plug it into my pci-e slot and use a dvi-m adapter ( what it says on package ) to knock the dvi down to vga for my 21" crt. I thought all was going well until i fired it up. The screen is nothing but random square colors. When the screen changes to load windows the image turns to fine lines, still nothing visible and not even close. Is the card screwed up or my pci-e slot or maybe the dvi-m adapter? Asus website says the 8400gs has dvi-i output, does it matter?

Windows 7 I/o Device Errors
Installed w7 and the intel p35 drivers for vista64 (since they didn't have a w7 variant). http://img526. Imageshack. Us/img526/4265/ioerror.png
I've been trying to get rid of these errors. Seems when i multi-task on one drive i get issues.

Dial Up Networking Errors
This is an odd problem that's just started happening to me. Though before i go any further i must say dial-up is the only thing offered where i live, cable and dsl lines stop 5 miles before you get to where i live, my only other choice is hughes satellite and that's way expensive. Here is my problem. Recently i have been experiencing difficulty staying connected do to errors being received, if i click on the 2 computers in the task bar to bring up the dial-up connection status window i see the following. The arrow pointing to the errors i am getting. I have seen it count upwards to at least 300+ errors and it just keeps going. Every page stops loading, i have to disconnect and then it starts all over again. The only thing it lets work is messenger programs. What seems to be causing this? I have never in almost 5 years of having dial-up seen this happen so badly, in the past i've maybe seen 1 or 2 errors in a 6 hour span of being connected. But 42 errors in 3 min's? Whats wrong?
Anyone know whats up with this? Could my modem be shot? (Usr 56k winmodem)

Memtest Test #7 Errors
As the title of the thread suggests test 7 in memtest fails with flying colors, every other test passes without a hitch! Now i've tried this chip in two motherboards (p4p800 e-deluxe '865' & ic7-max3 '875') with the same results. At stock timings memtest passes, clock it up and test 7 fails. I'm using ocz 4200 plats and with my 2. 6c @ 3. 25 these babies have no problems keeping up! I've even used dividers to no avail! I know its not the ram and it cant be the motherboards, so it must be the chip! The vcore is at 1. 475 and it seems stable, although i'm yet to prime the setup. I hear 1. 55 is the true max for prescotts is this true?
Anyway anyone got any suggestions other than pour petrol on the chip and set it on fire?

Hp Printer Fatal Errors
Hp printer installation problem. I have just bought a hp (officejet 6500 e709 series) and i am trying to install the blasted thing. I keep getting 'fatal errors'. I solved one (i think) and then the latest one is caused by 'invalid drive e' as far as i can tell i have no drive e, they send you a web page to help but its the same page for all problems. (Solved that one too now) anyone had a similar sort of problem with an hp printer and solved it?
I have followed all the advice and i haven't yet solved it. The last two 'fatal errors' were due to: ". Folder path my pictures contains an invalid character. " Its empty tho' (inc. Hidden and system files)! Anyone got further advice? Or is it time to contact hp?
