Windows 10: file sector is unreadable

I opened my laptop to discover the dreaded blue screen, tried several things like 'reset the pc' but that led nowhere. On running chkdsk, found many 'file record segment is unreadable' messages that ended with 'insufficient disk space to insert the index entry. failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50.'


Ran chkdsk again now and it says that chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process, it may run if this volume is dismounted first. I have no idea what to do or what exactly the error is and how to go about fixing it. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Repair Loop Error boot sector unreadable or corrup

Hi,

When I turn on my computer it goes directly to windows repair and I have let it sit there for up to 12 hours. I have only been able to successfully boot from usb media where I tried a restore, repair, and trying to reinstall a fresh copy as well as format
the drive. All of which end in it just spinning for hours. I finally did a chkdsk r/ C: and received the following information:

The type of file system is NTFS

The first NTFS boot sector is unreadable or corrupt.

Reading second NTFS boot sector instead.

Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure...

Failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50.

And then it ends any suggestions?

Hi,

Corrupted boot system files is one of the possible reasons why you are having an error message, the first NTFS boot sector is unreadable or corrupt, when you run the Check disk (Chkdsk) tool. Since you already tried using DiskPart and it shows that the partition
is RAW, we suggest that you perform a clean install of Windows 10. You can follow the steps in this

Forum Article that was provided by Andre Da Costa to perform a clean install or reinstall of Windows 10.
