Is OpenGL completely hosed in this build of Windows 7 as well? I loved Win7 Beta, but I couldn't stand not being without my Quake Live and Tribes 2. Apparently it worked for some people, but for those people with ATI cards and the 64-bit version of Vista we were out of luck.

Steam has been giving me "Disk Write Error" recently, and I want to check my hard drive for bad sectors. However, it seems like Windows 10 has redesigned the Error Checking utility and there's no more checkbox to scan for bad sectors. Is that functionality just gone forever? If so, is there a decent alternative utility for detection of bad sectors?

Nintendo Kid posted:Run CHKDSK C: /F /R from the command prompt. Of course change the drive letter as needed. I ran this as an administrator and restarted the computer. I quickly saw a message for a disk check already at 100% completion and then the system continued booting. What happened? Unboxing Day fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Oct 29, 2015 |

WillieWestwood posted:If you ran chkdsk on the boot drive, it will wait for the reboot before checking the drive, then it checks the drive before letting Windows load. Right, but I was expecting the check to take a long time to look for bad sectors, where it took a few seconds. I did a little digging and I think i might now know why things are different in Windows 8/10 as far as CHKDSK goes, see here. quote:In Windows 8, Microsoft has redesigned chkdsk utility – the tool for detecting and fixing disk corruption. In Windows 8, Microsoft introduced a file system called ReFS, which does not require an offline chkdsk to repair corruptions – as it follows a different model for resiliency and hence does not need to run the traditional chkdsk utility. This is crazy. I had no idea Windows 8 introduced a new filesystem. Unboxing Day fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Oct 29, 2015 |

Sir Unimaginative posted:You're still using NTFS, though, not ReFS. You're right, right click properties on C: still shows NTFS. So now I have no idea why CHKDSK didn't seem to actually bother doing any bad sector scan (or why whatever it did finished so quickly).

So I'm going through an old drive from an old PC, and I found that programs like WinDirStat get hung up on files that they do not have permission to access because of NTFS permission issues - which meant that I couldn't view my old User directory. I went to the directory in explorer and a dialog box appeared asking me to permanently give myself access to that directory. I hit Continue, and my drive thrashed for a few minutes while a green bar at the top of the explorer window slowly filled, and I stupidly closed the explorer window when it was maybe...95% done. I can access the directory now, but now I'm paranoid that maybe I closed the explorer window before it had a chance to fix permissions on all the files and folders contained therein (or finish whatever the heck it was doing), and that programs like WinDirStat might be missing out on some files because of it. Not to mention that there might be other places on the drive that might have permission issues that I've overlooked. Is there some way - like a utility or a batch script - that I can basically make the entire drive accessible? Unboxing Day fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Nov 14, 2015 |
