Windows 10: Invalid filenames during CHKDISK

Hi,


i stumbled upon an unaccessible folder containing invalid filenames while browsing my HDD [files containing colons ':'], and ran a disk check on my Windows 10. It seems to have deleted all the video files.

I'm now trying to recover these files. I tried running Photorec on the free unallocated space of the single main partition, but didn't find the video files.


Does CHKDISK write null bytes over deleted files, just for the sport of it ? Does it run some defragmentation on the hard drive ? Or could my files still be there, somewhere ?


Thanks !

:)

Obviously, there is an unsupported character or something in my calendar that stops the sync.... how would i sort it out? any ideas gratefully received. Thanks, Mark

 

the handle is invalid HELP!

I'm going through the same thing right now. i tried to go in and come in on safe mode but it still would give me the same error. Now it will take my password, start to log in and bring up my main screen but it blip then goes back to the sign in page where i put my password in it would give that 'invalid handle" message.

 

How can I make a list of filenames in File Explorer via command prompt?

These are the steps I take in:

1. open the folder that I want to print the filenames of
2. In the location bar, typed "cmd"
3. At the command prompt, I typed "dir > vjoy.txt

The command prompt read Access is denied.
