Recently whenever I turn my computer on, it always shows Windows is checking and repairing disk, so after a few restarts, I finally went and did an error check of the C drive through cmd, and its come up with "Error Detected in index file $130 for file 137" then went on to saying "An unexpected error occured (766f6c756d652e63 44e)".

I run Windows 8.1 64x.

I have never improperly shut down my computer and I have it connected to a UPS in case of blackouts, would anyone care to help me out, it's really worrying me.

Edit: It should also be noted that Windows error checking isn't fixing the problem.

Chkdsk doesn't work with SSDs. You need to use the drive letter assigned to your HDD then. ( i.e. chkdsk E: /r )
If that doesn't work out, you'd better do a System Restore from your Windows installation disk.
However, you'd better backup your data somewhere else before proceeding, just in case!

Hey there, Murray14!

This definitely doesn't sound good. I'd suggest to try running Startup Repair from the OS installation disk and proceed with a System Repair/Restore.
What command did you use for cmd error checking?
Check your HDD manufacturer's website for a diagnostics utility that will let you test the drive's health and show you the SMART status. In case, you cannot find it, here's link to a thread that might help: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
Here's another thread that can give you several methods to troubleshoot this: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/disc-check-error-766f6c756d652e63-3f1/7022ff97-00bb-4ae8-a75e-e9a92bee76d8

Keep me posted! Hope this helps! :)

Thank you for the reply, I used the command "chkdsk C:".

I also cleaned out my "%temp%" and "prefetch" folders yesterday, if that helps in any way.

Will keep you posted

You are welcome! :)
Try the command: chkdsk C: /r
And let me know how it goes, but you better launch cmd from the OS installation DVD or make sure you run it as administrator from Windows.

Good luck!

Was shown with the reply

"The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)"

Check this tutorial and use the second option: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html
You should type Y and restart your system. What is the model and capacity of the drive?
Keep in mind that it might take a while, so be patient. Usually, the bigger the capacity of the HDD, the longer it takes for the chkdsk process to finish.

I use 2 drives for my computer (it's custom)
My C: Drive is a Kingston 240GB SSD.
My E: Drive is a Seagate 2TB HDD

I've also tried that option, and it didn't work.
