[SOLVED] Corrupted File Record Segments Cannot Be Fixed

[egunn]

Hi, I have corrupted file record segments that don't go away. I often get a message from Windows telling me to restart to fix drive errors. When I restart however, nothing gets fixed and I still get the same messages. I've tried using the command "chkdsk C: /F", but this doesn't do anything on restart either. Here is the output of the command (without /F):

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.

WARNING! /F parameter not specified.
Running CHKDSK in read-only mode.

Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ...

Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.

I've also been having an issue with Windows Update. I keep getting an Error encountered and the text says "We could not complete the install because an update service was shutting down." I have a feeling that these two issues are linked. Aside from this, I haven't had any other noticeable errors come from the disk corruption errors. Any help would be appreciated.

Your HDD is corrupted and reason to beleive it soon going to die completely. Take backup of any important files asap.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Do you have any more details of why this is? Can it be prevented? How sure can we be that it will die completely?

Because the mechanics inside HDD's are so delicate and fragile. The disk may live longer, but chance is it won't. You - the end user - can choose to use it further with the risk it is, or you can reduce risk of data loss by replacing the disk.

Ok, thank you for your insight. One more thing, do you know if I were to create a disk image of my current C: drive (which has corrupted sectors), and then restored it on a new SSD that I bought, would there be issues? I've already successfully created a disk image backup of my current C: drive using Macrium Reflect Free and there were no errors.

Copying corrupt data results in corrupt data on the target drive.

Drives die. All of them eventually. Some soon, others may last for years.
You can't prevent it.

The only way to protect the data is to actually protect the data, and don't worry about the physical drive.

What is your backup situation at home?

What is your backup situation at home? And if you don't do that, why not? Every single day, I read multiple threads here of "How do I get my stuff back?" or "That drive had 5 years of photos of my kids!!" Be it a dead drive, dropped phone, virus, accidental deletion, formatting the wrong...
