Microsoft has released the RTM version of Windows 7 yesterday on the Microsoft technical community. The initial enthusiasm quickly to sensational headlines about a “Show Topper” or “critical” errors, a damper on the Windows 7 emotion and the people and businesses to the new system, as they did with Windows Vista. The owners are the definition of FUD (fear of the spread, uncertainty and doubt).
The “critical” error in connection with a memory leak problem with the CHKDSK utility, with a warning is not a problem … or a genuine mistake. Poco después de la versión RTM Windows 7 R & D plays a disposición de la Comunidad de los técnica reviews empezaron a pop-up que habÃa sido un error descubierto. Obviously running CHKDSK, a hard disk integrity check and repair utility that nearly all versions of Windows, the system stops, or even the production of the famous BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).
The error does not occur only at any time, despite running CHKDSK. According to reports, the only question is when CHKDSK on a disk or tape, not the main boot volume, and only if the / r switch is also used. The “/ r” command line parameters to get the bad sectors and try to repair and restore the data they contain. If these conditions are met, CHKDSK seems to eat all the available physical memory and the system slows to a standstill or is completely blocked.
Steven Sinofsky, the chairman of the department for Microsoft Windows, has pointed out that the reported behavior is by design. If the “/ r” is used CHKDSK utility model assumes that the maximum utilization of available funds for the repair as quickly as possible. CHKDSK is for every 50 megabytes of memory available when the / r switch is used and the users should not expect that to continue to use the computer for other tasks during the repair of CHKDSK.
BSOD not explain the reports, but are actually a lot darker. It seems that some hardware configurations, in a BSOD during the CHKDSK. These are isolated cases, but in conjunction with certain hardware configurations. Microsoft recommends that people with serious problems such as BSOD, they have installed first, before the current state that the sky is.
So, to clarify, many owners may have Windows 7 dead on arrival by the realization of an uncertain and possibly by a system crash in certain isolated situations. I think we can use the “Coroner” and not to cancel the victory parade of Windows 7 yet.
