Make sure that ' Free Space Only' is chosen in Wipe window in Drive Viper.Īfter finishing let the HD cool a bit, then try chkdsk /R again.

You can try CCleaner's Wipe Free Space in advanced section or Drive wiper in Tools section (It will take quite alot of time with respect to your disk size.-more than an hour-) There is something wrong there on the disk where chkdsk /R stops.Īs I have thought, there is an error in the Bitmap for the description of that part of your drive. Well, this is not good news for your disk. I'm looking for a solution anyone can give me about this issue.

I must say two things: one is that in the past, sometimes, Disk Doctor results was like 'AdvancedSystem Care checked the files and didn't find any errors' (looking in the details, with v4.0.1 and earlier versions) the other is that every chkdsk I asked till now to look for and repair damaged drive sectors (in drives C: and D:, 'properties', 'tools' - my notebook has 2 hard disks) never concluded, always stopped when at about 50% of each disk. Still, Disk Doctor keeps saying 'volume bitmap is incorrect'. Then I restored the system to a earlier restore point, when my AdvancedSystem Care version was v4.0.1. When chkdsk/r got to 52% of the drive with 25824201 from 55905423 free clusters processed, the disk activity stopped (and the light went off, no pulsing), so I had to switch off the computer by keeping the switch button down for 5 seconds. I did as you said, but the operation didn't go to the end.
