    chkdsk corrupted 1st boot sector of my external USB 1TB hard drive. Now I get this message "The type of file system is NTFS. The first boot sector is unreadable or corrupted. Reading second boot sector instead. Unable to determine the version and volume state. CHKDSK aborted" Windows says the drive is unreadable and wants to format the drive - I had 600Gb data which I do not want to loose!! Q: How can I repair the 1st NTFS boot sector so I can recover data on the USB drive???

    :)

    windows 10 "the first ntfs boot sector is unreadable or corrupt raw"

    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.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    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?
