  1. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable


    I recently installed linux feren OS and had some fun with it being new to linux and i wanted to go back to my windows since some necessary apps weren’t available for linux.

    When i tried booting into windows it suddenly blue screened,when my pc restarted i booted into windows again it said that it couldn’t detect the problem after looking around for solutions i tried making a bootable copy of windows on a usb flash drive and clicked repair my computer after i went to command prompt and typed BOOTREC /rebuildbcd after that it said the folowing:

    Successfully scanned windows installations.

    Total identified windows installations: 0

    The operation completed successfully.

    After that i tried bcdedit /export c:bcdbackup after typing that I got the following:

    The store export operation has failed.

    The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

    What do i do?i cant reinstall windows i have many important files of my work and many pictures of family etc.

    :)

    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.
