  1. The File or directory is corrupted and unreadable


    Hi

    I turned on my Dell G5 today and every program that I wanted to open, show this error


    << the file and directory is corrupted and unreadable >>


    Both my c and d drive have this problem.


    And interesting thing is that all of programs will run when I right click and choose run as administrator.


    So problem is not physical or from my hdd or ssd.


    This is an odd problem


    Someone help me!

    :)

  3. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

    I have 4 of these errors, NTFS failed to mount the volume.

    Error: {Corrupt File}

    The file or directory %hs is corrupt and unreadable.

    Please run the Chkdsk utility.

    Volume GUID: {xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}

    Volume Name:

    Guidance:

    The volume is recognized by NTFS but it is corrupted that NTFS could not mount it. Run

    CHKDSK /F to fix any errors on this volume, and then try accessing it.

    Not sure whats causing it, doesn't tell me the volume, but I only have the one drive

    with the recovery partition.

    Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.
