Windows fix disk error

Disk errors in Windows can be annoying and equally devastating if not fixed in time. Disk errors aren’t common in Windows 10 yet sometimes these errors can be caused due to bad sectors, sudden power failure, power surge, malware or virus infection, corruption, physical damage, etc. Due to this error, the internal or external hard drive connected to your Windows 10 system becomes inaccessible and files present in the affected hard drive become prone to corruption that can lead to data loss.

Solutions to Fix Disk Error in Windows 10

Below we have explained few fixes (step-by-step) to repair disk errors in Windows 10.

1. Startup Repair

For startup repair, you need a Windows 10 system repair or installation disc. You can use a tool like Rufus or Win32DiskImager to create a Windows 10 bootable USB drive. Then:

• Plug the bootable USB drive or disc to your system
• Press the power button to turn on the system and immediately start pressing the Boot Menu option key, usually F12, to enter the boot menu.
• Use up/down key to select the bootable USB drive or system repair/installation disc and hit Enter.
• On Windows setup screen, click ‘Next’ and then click ‘Repair your Computer’.
• Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Option > Startup Repair. Wait until the system is repaired.
• Then remove the installation/repair disc or USB drive and restart the system and let Windows 10 boot normally.

2. Check Security and Maintenance

Under Security and Maintenance, the Windows OS keeps you informed about the issues that pertain to your system’s health. It can help you pinpoint problems with the hardware and software. If your system is able to boot Windows 10 then perform the following:

• Go to Control Panel > Security and Maintenance. Click Maintenance to expand and then look for Drive Status
• If there is an issue with the hard drive, it is shown here otherwise you see all drives are working properly.

3. Use CHKDSK

Windows has a CHKDSK (check disk) utility that helps in fixing the logical file system and bad sectors that are causing disk errors. CHKDSK helps fix most issues with the hard drive and makes it accessible.

Follow the below steps to run CHKDSK on your affected hard disk.

• Press ‘Windows + S’ and type cmd.
• Right-click on Command Prompt and select ‘Run as Administrator’. When prompted, click ‘YES’.
• In the Command Prompt window, type chkdsk X: /r /f where X is the external hard drive letter and /r & /f are the CHKDSK parameters. Hit ‘Enter’ to start the scan and repair process.

Wait till CHKDSK finishes its job. Later, reconnect the external hard drive to use it or restart the system (if the internal hard drive is scanned) and check if your system still tries to repair the disk.

4. Use PowerShell

Windows 10 has a powerful shell called PowerShell that can be used to check and repair the drive errors using the Repair-Volume command.

• Press ‘Windows + S’ and type PowerShell. Right-click on ‘Windows PowerShell’ and select ‘Run as administrator’.
• In the PowerShell command line, type Repair-Volume C –Scan where C is the volume or drive letter. This command scans the hard drive volume for errors. If errors are found, run next command.
• Type Repair-Volume C –OfflineScanAndFix and hit ‘Enter’ to perform an offline scan and fix errors found on the drive. Wait till the process is finished
• Or type Repair-Volume C –SpotFix to fix an issue by taking the volume offline

Restart the system after repair and type Repair-Volume C –Scan in PowerShell to check if the errors are fixed.

5. Data Recovery Tool

If your system is not able to boot and gets stuck in disk repair process, you should immediately stop using it instead of rebooting again and again, as it may further damage your system. Immediately remove the hard drive from your Windows 10 system and get an HDD enclosure to connect the affected hard drive to another PC.

Then,

• Download the Stellar Data Recovery- Standard for Windows software.

• Connect the affected hard drive to the system via USB port and launch the program.
• Select what files you want to recover from the given options and click ‘Next’.

• Under Connected Drives, select your affected drive and turn on the Deep Scan toggle switch that appears at the bottom-left corner.

• Click ‘Scan’ and wait until the process is finished.
• After the scan, the folders containing the scanned files are displayed in the left tree-view pane. Click on ‘File Type’ tab to sort them according to file type.

• Click on a folder in the left tree-view pane to display the folder content in the right panel of the software window. You can click on any file to preview it and use the search box to find and recover specific files and folders from the scanned results.
• Click the checkbox of the files and folders that you want to recover and then click the ‘Recover’ button. A pop up appears.
• Click ‘Browse’ to select the location to save recovered files. Make sure not to select the same drive from where data is to be recovered. Click ‘Save’ and wait till the saving process is completed.

Now that you have successfully recovered your important files and other data, you can format the hard drive. You must perform full/normal/low-level format on the hard drive to fix the issue. Quick Format is not recommended.

Conclusion

To avoid disk errors, it’s important to check the hard drives on a regular basis (once a week or month) using tools like CHKDSK and S.M.A.R.T. – the hard drive monitoring system. This helps in determining exact disk errors and fix them with ease before the drive becomes inaccessible or corrupt. As always, use Stellar Data Recovery- Standard for Windows tool to recover data from a corrupt, inaccessible, formatted, and even reformatted hard drive or its partitions. The tool supports recovery from exFAT, FAT(FAT16, FAT32), and NTFS formats.

Disk errors are one of the most common errors on Windows 11/10. It is also scary because all our data are on the disk drives, and even with backup in place, its time consuming to restore all of them. That said, most of these disk errors can be resolved, and this is exactly what we are going to talk about in this post. Check out the best tips for troubleshooting common Disk Management error messages on Windows 11/10.

This post will help you fix Disk Management errors like:

1. A disk’s status is Not Initialized or the disk is missing,
2. A basic or dynamic disk’s status is Unreadable,
3. A dynamic disk’s status is Foreign,
4. A dynamic disk’s status is Online (Errors),
5. A dynamic disk’s status is Offline or Missing,
6. A basic or dynamic volume’s status is Failed,
7. A basic or dynamic volume’s status is Unknown,
8. A dynamic volume’s status is Data Incomplete,
9. A dynamic volume’s status is Healthy (At Risk),
10. Cannot manage striped volumes using Disk Management or DiskPart,
11. Disk Management cannot start the Virtual Disk Service.

Before we start, remember two things. First, you need an account with administrator privileges. Second, be very very careful using the disk management tools. One mistake, and you can lose all your data, and there is no way to undo things without losing the data on those drives.

To open Disk Management tool, follow the below steps:

1. In the Run prompt, type compmgmt.msc, and hit Enter.
2. This will launch the Computer Management console.
3. Select Storage > Disk management. This will list all the drives and partitions inside them.

Pre-checks:

• I am assuming that your drive is properly connected to the PC, and if it’s an external drive, it is connected properly to the USB port.
• Make sure to check this before starting, and always try connecting to another PC to see if it works there.
• If the device works on another PC, try running the Disk Error Checker.

A disk’s status is Not Initialized or the disk is missing

Many a time your partition or drive does not appear in File Explorer. To check if it’s physically there, open the Disk management. Check if you see it as Not Initialized. If yes, then it simply means that the disk doesn’t have a valid signature, i.e., it’s not properly registered with the system. A disk is registered when you format it at least once. If the disk was available before, then it’s probably corrupted somehow.

If it is a new drive, you can simply initialize it; however, if that’s not the case, we need to try other solutions.

Bring it Online & Add Drive Letter:

• If in the Disk Management, it appears to be offline, then right-click, and select Online.
• If the disk is already online but has no drive letter (e.g., C, D, E, etc.) then right-click, and select change drive letter, and path. Choose a letter that is not already allocated.
• Lastly, you can choose to format it in either NTFS or FAT32. If you are using 64bit, make sure to use NTFS. This will remove all the data from your disk.

Check Device Manager for issues.

It is possible that because of driver issues, the hard drive is not working properly. It’s always a good idea to check on the Drive Manager to see that the drive listing has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. If that’s the case:

• Right-click on the hard drive listing and select uninstall the drive.
• Next, click on Action, and run Scan for hardware changes.

A basic or dynamic disk’s status is Unreadable

If you are facing this problem, the chances are that your hard drive has experienced a hardware failure or some irreversible corruption. It is also possible that the system’s disk configuration database might be corrupted, and the error message you will get in that case is ‘Unreadable’. You can try it on some other computer, but replacing your hard drive is the only solution here.

Read: SSD not showing up in Disk Management or BIOS in Windows.

A dynamic disk’s status is Foreign

When you move a dynamic disk from one computer to another, you will get a warning icon next to it with Foreign status. Dynamic disks offer the ability to create fault-tolerant volumes that may even span multiple disks – which Basic disks cannot. When you create a dynamic disk, the configuration disk is stored on all dynamic disks, and the information of who owns is lost when switching between PCs.

The solution is to make use of the Import Foreign Disks option. All you need to do is right-click on the disk and use the option. After you import the disk any existing volumes on the foreign disk become visible and accessible when you import the disk.

Now that you know of Dynamic Disk, here is the list of errors, and their solution around Dynamic Disk.

A dynamic disk’s status is Online (Errors)

To resolve this, you need to reactivate the disk to return it to Online status. Just right-click, and you will have that option. This works if the I/O errors are temporary.

A dynamic disk’s status is Offline or Missing

In case the dynamic disk has been corrupted or intermittently unavailable, it will appear as offline. Also, the disk name changes to missing. It is possible that it is either powered down or disconnected. Make sure that the disk has power. Plug it back in, and if it appears in the tool, right-click Reactivate Disk.

If this doesn’t work, nothing can be done. All you can do is right-click and choose Remove Disk. However, before doing that, delete all volumes (or mirrors) on the disk. To save the data, you can save any mirrored volumes on the disk by removing the mirror instead of the entire volume.

To bring a disk that is Offline and is still named Disk # (not Missing) back online:

1. Try to Reactivate Disk to bring the disk back online
2. Check-in Event Viewer if you have an error that says “No good config copies”. If yes, the Microsoft Product Support team might help you.
3. Try connecting to another computer, especially with that which has dynamic disks. If it gets online, import the disk on that computer, and bring it back to the PC on which it wasn’t working.

A basic or dynamic volume’s status is Failed

Again, this is a clear case of a damaged disk or corrupt file system. You need to check on the power status or try the steps we shared for ‘A disk’s status is Not Initialized or the disk is missing’. This applies to basic disks, but if that’s a dynamic disk, then right-click and see if you can get it online.

That said, if the dynamic volume is a mirrored or RAID-5 volume with old data, bringing the underlying disk online will not automatically restart the volume. You will need to bring the other connected disks online first, so it makes sure the data is in sync, and then restarts the mirrored or RAID-5 volume manually, and then run the Error-checking tool or Chkdsk.exe.

A basic or dynamic volume’s status is Unknown

In this state, the boot sector of the volume is corrupted, and the data is no longer available. It is also possible that the new disk setup wasn’t complete. To resolve, you need to Initialize it again.

1. In Disk Management make sure to check if the status is Online, else you need to bring it online first.
2. Then right-click on that disk and click Initialize Disk.
3. Then click on Ok to accept the default partition style
4. After the wizard completes its job, you should have access to it.

A dynamic volume’s status is Data Incomplete

Windows 10 supports multi-disk volume. If you have removed one of the disks and moved it to another computer, it will not work, and will also destroy all the data unless you move and import the remaining disks that contain this volume.

So the solution is to move all the disks which are part of the multi-disk volume to the computer and import it. The disks will be marked as a Foreign disk. We have already stated above on how you can import, and activate those disks.

A dynamic volume’s status is Healthy (At Risk)

If one of your dynamic volumes is marked as at Risk, even if they are healthy, it indicates that there are some IO errors on the underlying part. It could be because of the one on the disk, but it makes all the volumes are Risk. One of the disks must have gone offline.

To resolve this, you will need to bring back the disk to Online Status, and it will restore the status, but if that doesn’t work, you will need to replace that disk

Cannot manage striped volumes using Disk Management or DiskPart

There are tons of Disk Management tools available. If you are using one of them, it is possible those products might have replaced the Microsoft Logical Disk Manager (LDM) for advanced disk management. Sadly, you need to connect with the support team to get this resolved.

Disk Management cannot start the Virtual Disk Service

This usually appears when the remote computer is blocking the Virtual Disk Service (VDS) because of the Firewall or the remote computer doesn’t support VDS at all. VDS service allows one to remotely connect to another computer Disk Management tool, and then let the admin configure it.

You can either configure Windows Defender Firewall to enable the Remote Volume Management Exception or remote login to that computer and then use Disk Management.
