My Windows Drive Got Corrupted And All Data Got Deleted And Formed Unallocated Space. I Can Usse My Bootable Drive To Get Into Setup, But The Unallocated Space Doesn't Become A Partition. It Has "Cyclic Redundancy Check" Error In CMD. Clean Command Doesn't Work.


I Can't Try Chkdsk Because There Iss NO PARTITION to Begin With. Only Unallocated Space.

What Do I Do?
 
Solution
What Do I Do?
Buy a new drive, this one is done.
You might be able to get some data off the drive with testdisk or other similar software if that is a concern.

You can try software like hddregen to try and fix the broken sectors but chances are pretty bad.

Another option is to scan the surface with hdsentinel or something and create partitions outside the area with the bad sectors.

Solution
And how much are you going to trust it with your data?
Thats a good question, Thing is that I want to know if the problem is the SSD or the motherboard. Since the motherboard stopped giving display after sometime and CMOS battery change fixed it.

Should I go back to using HDD as boot drive? I know there will be speed differences but I can compensate it for the safety of data.

The question is not 'SSD vs HDD', but rather 'that particular device'.

Additionally, you did not tell us this was an SSD.

Lastly, you NEED to always have a good backup, ready to go. No matter the drive type, manufacturer, size, whatever.
Storage devices can die at any time, often quite suddenly.

I HAD A Backup, But I Can't Backup Every Hour, Last I Backuped Up Is 5 Days. Luckily, I Don't Store Anything In The SSD Other Than Windows And Save Files, Which I Backed Up.

Data Is Not An Issue, But SSD Getting Corrupted Is.

BTW, What Is Cyclic Redundancy Check Anyway?

In a PC, it is often a physical fail of an HDD.
Or, possibly a cable fault.
