Welcome to the weekly Simple questions and Help thread, for questions that don't need their own posts!

Before making a comment, we recommend you search your problem on Bing and check if your question is already answered on our Windows Frequently Asked Questions wiki page. To get help with your PC, you can also make a post next Monday using the "Tech Support" flair or use r/TechSupport and r/WindowsHelp.

Some examples of questions to ask:

• 
  Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)
  
  
• 
  How can I install Windows 11?
  
  
• 
  Can you recommend a program to play music?
  
  
• 
  How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?
  

Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.

Hi, again dalchina,

First sorry for posting in the wrong forum.

3. Hard Disk Sentinel screen shot:




4. This is the result of the boot time chdsk (NTFS)




5. Trying SFC /SCANNOW in safe boot returns same error as in the first post.
