    Chkdsk /r reports insufficient space to repair master file table


    While windows update was running, net dropped which caused my pc to hang. I had to power off and on, not booting up. I tried using rescue usb to troubleshoot. Following are the problems


    Refresh your pc says "drive where windows is installed is locked . Unlock drive and try again "


    Advanced option -> startup repair says " startup repair could not repair your pc "


    From command prompt I ran chkdsk c: /r

    No bad sectors or other errors


    Reports " insufficient space to repair master file table"


    OS windows 10

    Please help

    chkdsk fails at stage 3 with insufficient space error message

    update: I have now 65GB free space disk, and still the stage 3 of chkdsk complains about insufficient disk space.

    That is more than half of the disk of free space.

    update 2: I found now that

    file 9 is the $Secure metafile in the MFT (master file table).

    Does anybody know of a way to (re)build that $Secure file without chkdsk (since chkdsk can't do it in my case)

    thanks

    Chkdsk /r reports insufficient space to repair master file table

    The master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute is incorrect.

    CHKDSK C: reports the following:

    The master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute is incorrect.

    The Volume Bitmap is incorrect.

    Windows has checked the file system and found problems.

    Please run chkdsk /scan to find the problems and queue them for repair.

    After running CHKDSK C: /scan I ran CHKDSK C: again and got the same result as above.

    It seems CHKDSK cannot resolve the master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute error.

    How do I fix the MFT bitmap error?
