[SOLVED] exFAT - invalid VBR checksum - partitionless volume

Well, thank you for your good advice. Version 1.3.0 of fsck.exfat (part of exfat-utils) fixed the exfat partition as you had expected. The immediate previous version (1.2.8) which was installed by default, was unable to make any repairs, which is why I came to Sysnative for help. There is a...

[SOLVED] exFAT - invalid VBR checksum - partitionless volume

Hello, Frankly, I was thinking of a third scenario: repairing the exfat file system and then keep using the volume as is. But if you recommend otherwise, I'll stand by your opinion. Well, that's not good news. I can't figure out what could have caused the filesystem corruption. If exfat is...

[SOLVED] exFAT - invalid VBR checksum - partitionless volume

Hello, the volume which the damaged exfat file system is located on is identified as disk 1 by the disk manager, on the previous screenshot. Again, the volume has no partition table. One can refer to it as a "partition", out of language habit, but for the sake of correctness, I point out once...

[SOLVED] exFAT - invalid VBR checksum - partitionless volume

Hi, Here is the screenshot. "mountvol" does not return a GUID for the volume, too: Possible values for VolumeName along with current mount points are: \\?\Volume{d73e19c5-6b6d-11ea-859e-806e6f6e6963}\ C:\ \\?\Volume{d73e19c6-6b6d-11ea-859e-806e6f6e6963}\ D:\...

[SOLVED] exFAT - invalid VBR checksum - partitionless volume

Hi! How-to repair an exFAT volume, which was formatted as a single block device, i.e. without a partition table? The whole volume is used by exFAT, there is no MBR nor GPT on it. The volume reports an "invalid VBR checksum", and cannot be mounted (it is not attached to any drive letter)...

Memtest86+ 5.01 - reading the results

Thank you for your answer. One day later, memtest86+ showed up 6 more errors for a total of 10, after 44 passes, but not a single more failing address. It goes in the same direction as your conclusion. I then tested the failing stick alone. Again it returned an error from the very same...

[WIN 7 Ultimate] - Adding a network location

Well my description was not clear enough. The machine has one network card. It is normally running at home, on a LAN without DHCP. It is then configured manually, with a fixed IP address (for the machine, the gateway, the DNSes). I took the machine with me at the office for a few days, where...

[WIN 7 Ultimate] - Adding a network location

Hi Plodr ! The command actually launches the wizard in a new window. The problem is that the wizard does not give me a choice to setup any new regular Ethernet connection. I have only a choice to create a new PPoE or an ISDN connection. The choice to define a new local wired network is...

[Win 7] - low RAM warning message at 70% ?

Hi guys, thanks for comments and suggestions. Disk cleanup is being done a few times a year. NTFS partition is 64GB large (or GiB, I forgot) within a 750GB HDD. The machine is mainly used as a DVB-S PVR, hence most of its storage capacity is dedicated to direct-to-disk recording. Old good...

[Win 7] - low RAM warning message at 70% ?

Hello, The forum is dedicated to BSOD and my own issue here is lighter by a few orders of magnitude. I hope this is the right place to post however. The machine is fully fed with 2 x1GB and runs games from the past decade at 720p. Games which have low CPU/GPU/RAM requirements, and typically...
