every startup i get a repairing drive c pop-up that takes 10 sec i have checked and 'repaired' the drive maybe 50 times but it does'nt fix it. how do i fix this cause it's getting annoying
i have tried every solution that google/reddit gives me but i can't find how to fix it.
soft dagger
The only solution is to stop using the drive until you can clone it. Otherwise you will lose data.
lethal crown
there is nothing that important on the drive
it's just a boot drive tbh
the only thing on it is 3 games and all basic programs
but nothing seems to be broken except that on every start-up it does the checking drive and repairing thing
soft dagger
Yeah. That's the drive saying something is messed up inside it. If you continue to use it, it will fail.

The drive is DYING. REPLACE IT.
vagrant latch
You need to clone the drive onto another drive and toss the dying one
Formatting the drive ain't going to do shit
soft dagger
In fact formatting the drive is more likely to induce the failure.
lethal crown
this is meaning nothing then?
soft dagger
PNY. Woof. It happens.
If you WANT to try, you can boot into a Windows install media and use the Command Prompt option to perform a command-line disk check. Ensure that you do NOT disrupt it at all. Your computer will be down for a few hours.
But there is a good chance this error will persist or return.
vagrant latch
I would just go ahead and replace the drive
lethal crown
so it's hardware problem not a thing i caused?
soft dagger
Hardware, yes.
vagrant latch
Its a Hard disk drive, those are going to fail at somepoint whether you like it or not
vagrant latch
Shit, my bad
soft dagger
so it's hardware problem not a thing i caused?
Do you have a Windows install USB?
lethal crown
and it's only been like 2k hours not that high but if it's a hardware problem i'll just email the company i bought it from and ask for replacement. and if they don't it's not a expensive thing
lethal crown
Do you have a Windows install USB?
yes i build this pc like 2 months ago
vagrant latch
What brand is it?
lethal crown
took drives out of old pc
soft dagger
What brand is it?

vagrant latch
Ahh

Okay. Insert the drive into your PC and, while holding down left shift, tell the computer to restart.
vagrant latch
To be honest, I have never heard of an SSD dying

When the blue option screen comes up, click use a device and then click the UEFI: Removable Device option. Sometimes it will say UEFI: <DEVICE MANUFACTURER PRODUCT NAME>
Or it will say EFI USB Device.
lethal crown
1 sec i am getting a second device so i can still see discord
soft dagger
Ok
lethal crown
soft dagger
Yes.
So, open your start menu and go to the power menu. Hold left shift and click restart
A blue menu screen comes up. Click Use a Device
What options are there?
lethal crown
soft dagger
Huh. Use a Device was not present..... weird.
Click Troubleshoot
Then click command prompt
soft dagger
Now run the following command: chkdsk C: /r
And go do something else while the computer works

soft dagger
You need a password....... to do a check disk?
lethal crown
You need a password....... to do a check disk?
Yes I did command In normal cmt and I took like the same amount of time as the normal check before starting windows
soft dagger
If you still have that error, then try running again with the /f command instead
lethal crown

lethal crown
Did it still does this
my pc does this every restart that is the main problem
soft dagger
Yeah. Dead drive.
lethal crown
Yeah. Dead drive.

soft dagger
Yes. If you can get it RMA'd from the vendor then do that first.
lethal crown
Yes. If you can get it RMA'd from the vendor then do that first.
