Windows 10: Windows 10 Fixing E: Stage 1 over 300 hours, Reboot to skip, Fixed Error, Access Denied,...

So I encountered this yesterday after a power outage. My computer rebooted into chkdsk repair and it was fluctuating between 349-420 hours. Being impatient, I read the following article: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...for-days/ce991bfb-aa4b-40b0-b374-206dfecd9536


I decided to reboot my computer and hit any key within the 8 second allotted time to skip repair check. After doing this I ran the chkdsk E: /f /r /x command from CMD with admin, thinking it would fix my problem. I ended up with 2 unspecified errors and losing access to E: even though Disk management still saw it.


I looked for fixes on here but they all had the "Right-click" on drive and go to Security and change permissions fix. When I tried that, access was denied under Advanced settings and I couldn't access permissions from the following "change" option.


So, the fix for me was to open Command as admin and do as follows:


C:\ WINDOWS\system32>cd /d E:

E:\>icacls * /T /Q /C /RESET which showed me what had access denied

E:\>takeown /R /F *


I now have access again. I hope this helps someone.

Fixing (C Stage 1

I updated my computer on Sunday. It restarted after the update but the log in screen would not boot up. It would not turn off so I removed the battery. After removing the battery I got the fixing (C) Stage 1. I let it run for 24 hours the first time but
it was running the cycle fixing c stage 1 and repairing errors. After that I removed the hard drive and attached it a school computer. The school computer wanted to format it but I said no because I didn't want to lose the files. Once I said no it made the
drive inaccessible. I put the drive back in the computer and it went straight to automatic diagnostic pc. I tried skipping the scan but then a get a blue screen that say it wasn't able to boot then it takes me to the repairing disk errors and fixing c stage
1 cycle. I tried turned on and off to get to the Windows Recovery to boot in safe mode but it won't allow me to do that. Is the drive gone? Is there a way for me to get my files? I really just want to get my files off of the drive.

Update: It just moved to stage 2. It is the first time it moved to stage 2. I am going to let it work and then update later to tell you all what happened.
