Windows 10: USB corrupted file

My word file that I am trying to open has been corrupted and says that it contains 93KB but I cannot get this to work. Anyone have solutions?

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.

 

USB Drive Continually Corrupting Files

Hi guys. Thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply, I just finished work.

I've just re-examined it an noticed it's only happening with video files, but it is any video file from 1mb all the way up to 1gb, my other files haven't been affected like i first thought.

I'm sure it's an original drive and I've scanned it with Kaspersky. I'm going to try and see if it does it in another computer later, but it's really strange.

When I initially copy the file to the USB, it will be fine and play fine, but it will corrupt over time and become more and more corrupt as time goes on. I've had multiple USBs that have failed or stopped working in someway, but I've never encountered this issue before.

 

USB Drive Continually Corrupting Files

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help with something? I'm using a 32gb mushkin nano usb drive in my laptop as additional storage for my paltry SSD, but I've noticed that it's been corrupting my files.

I've tested the drive with a utility called chkflsh and it reports the usb is fine and I have scanned for viruses and come up with nothing.

This is extremely annoying as I'm using BTSync to backup my drive with my other home/work computers and so this is causing the files across all computers to become corrupt.

I've also run memtest to check my ram, as I thought that might be causing the issues and it's come up with nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas what happening?

Thanks for any help.
