Heya. My external hard-drive has been on the fritz lately. Sadly only a month after I had bought it. After making some odd clicking noises for most of the day I found that my largest directory had become corrupted. the directory E:\x.clutter-combined\ is now inaccessible. However, whenever i jump to specific folders such as E:\x.clutter-combined\Realplayer Downloads\ or E:\x.clutter-combined\New Folder (2)\ I can browse through those directorys and make and edit files in them. It seems to only be the parent directory that is corrupt.
chkdsk /f and chkdsk/r have not worked! All I need is a list of files in that corrupt directory so I know what folders there are under it. I had so many freaking folders that I can't remember that name of most of them or what they might have had in them.
Unfortunately when I opened the command prompt and tried to write the directory to a file, it cannot read that directory.
It looks like this:
dir e:\x.clutter-combined>c:\clutterdir.txt
File Not Found
After that, a little error icon appears in the icon tray talking about the file corruption and to run a disc check -_- full circle huh?
The problem with the disc check on both /f and /r is that when it reaches 10% or sometimes 70% it stops. I've tried to find a solution but people just say "It takes a while dude just wait" whereas the person having the problem usually responds saying "Yeah... its been 16 hours."
The disc check, on both /f and /r look like this:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPEN HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WILL THEN BECOME INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)
Y
Volume dismounted. All open handles to this volume are now invalid.
Volume label is TOSHIBA EXT.
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 5)...
73472 file records processed.
File verification completed.
47 large file records processed.
0 bad file records processed.
0 EA file records processed.
0 reparse records processed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 5)...
10 percent complete. (73915 of 82916 index entries processed)
Correcting error in index $I30 for file 8821.
Correcting error in index $I30 for file 8821.
After that it just sits there like a lump.
So heres my issue:
I don't care about the files in the corrupted directory. They're probably lost and can burn for all I care. I care about the ones in the sub-directories that I can still access. I want to move them off of the hard-drive. However, to do this I need a list of those directories. I need the names of the folders is all. How can I obtain those?
I am running Windows 7.
