BSOD on disk E

[sampcole]

I have been trying to fix this BSOD, which only occurs when doing something on disc E: disk C and disk D are completly fine (checked through chkdsk). I get the error Kernal_Data_Inpage_error which is quite a famous BSOD error. I have checked the RAM through Windows memory diagnostics tool.(I am running windows 7). When I run chkdsk on disk E it completes 10% then BSOD appeares with the same error. The BSOD first appeared when I was running a setup.exe of an application, I knew which file was causing BSOD so I tried to delete it many ways but it showed the BSOD instead. In the end I Formated disk E, and the files which I knew were causing BSOD were gone(so did my other important files) Now that the file is gone I can't seem to find the reason for BSOD to appear(aside for disk E being infected from god knows what). How get rid of this BSOD as I can't run chkdsk or anything as mentioned above.

After I formated disk E the RATE of BSOD is less lol. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP I NEED THAT 195GB ON MY DISK E lol

What happens when you change the drive letter to Z?

Could be that you had an infection on E. could be that E is going bad.

And FYI changing the drive letter as suggested above will do nothing to solve the problem.

YOU FORMATED THE DRIVE, THAT MEANS YOU TOLD YOUR DRIVE TO NOT KEEP THE FILES.

You can download recuva to your PC and have it run a deep scan to see what it can still recover from yoru drive E but dont hope for too much.

2 lessons to learn from this:
1) dont do things like "format" if you dont fully understand what it means
2) if any data is important to you, then you need to back it up, this means having at least 2 copies of that data. That copy at bare minimum needs to be on a different hard drive (not just different folder or partition), and at best a different comptuer all together.

Well I formated the disk becuase THE folder which was causing BSOD had no way to be deleted as i mentioned above, and it had infected disk E so much that even clicking on disk E and looking at the files caused BSOD. So I had no other option. Now that the file is gone BSOD only appears when launching a game or launching multiple .exe.
thank you for answering. So basically my disk E is gone and I should buy a new hard drive?
