Long version
Alright, I've been stuck with problem for a month and I really should try to figure it out now. The problem started just suddenly without warning, however I did drop the computer with the hardware from about 5 CM height a few weeks before thatso I thought maybe it was because of that.
One of my secondary hard drives containing data gets the message "Invalid MS-DOS function." when I try to add a folder, or file to the hard drive. I havn't gotten this error when moving files away from the drive.
(at this point i suspected hardware damage)
I tried searching this error but it only got me some vague answers and stuff that doesn't seem to work or not apply to me (mostly hardware damage, which i don't think it is still)
I tried making a copy of the drive (through windows file transfer), this didn't give problems however the back-up drive also has the same problem not (then i suspected files being corrupt)
I then ran the samsung HDD tool thingy that's on hiren's boot CD, which gave no errors.
I think I also tried to some file system scans through hiren's boot but I think one of them gave nothing but was finished after 2 minutes or so, and another one took several days, i let it run but the program crashed after a day with some ram error so yeah xD
Anyways, at this point I'm not really sure what to do. Any help is welcome but I think a good program to scan for file damage could help. Preferably one that doesn't take 5 days to scan 😛
tl;dr version
- Invalid MS-DOS function error when adding new files (not when reading them)
- copy of drive has the exact same issue
- Samsung HDD tool thing finds no errors.
- Need maybe a good software to check all my files for some sort of corruption or any other help
Thanks for the help ^^
