A bitmap is a single file within the NTFS file system that is generally responsible for tracking all unused applications and clusters on the NTFS volume. The error that the volume bitmap is incorrect can occur when you execute the chkdsk command. This chkdsk error may prevent you from continuing.
What Causes CHKDSK Error ‘Volume Bitmap is Incorrect’
There may be several reasons why the Check Disk utility encounters the ‘Volume bitmap is incorrect’ error under Windows 7, 8, Vista, XP. Some of the reasons are a disk failure, bad sectors, a corrupted bitmap attribute, a corrupted space in the $Bitmap file, a sudden power failure, and a virus infection.
One of the main reasons for this error is that when called Volume shadow copy (VSS), the bitmap values of the volumes may not accurately reflect the clusters used. As a result, data can be stored in a corrupted state.
