I had been using my Segate Barracuda 2tb for a year almost. Yesterday, the drive started acting funny, it would freeze while copying stuff and blah blah. So I ran chkdsk and it gave me the following errors.

144571 index entries processed.
Index entry ACC in index $I30 of file 9070 is incorrect.
Index entry AdobeGCClient in index $I30 of file 136390 is incorrect.

I dont know what it means and how am I to tackle this problem.
Perhaps my primary hdd too, has some errors as my pc would freeze sometimes and I would have to restart my pc to fix it. It would be much appreciated if someone could help.


Thank you for reading.

I hope you have been making routine full image backups of your OS and Data partitions on external media -- before this problem began. If the computer will USB or DVD boot any backup/restore utility or any puppy linux -- copy your necessary and needed data folders and files onto reliable external media -- while such is probably still doable.

you perhaps have a bad cluster on your drive, you need to check your drive for consistancy

do this with the dos command chkdsk

works best if you do this before the computer boots windows (eg force a safemode restart)

you can use the run command and type chkdsk
if the drive is in use, windows 'should' prompt you for a restart scan

@SoggyTissue oh thank you very much for replying. Yeah I did chkdsk and it found some error. I let it run for a few hours and it finished the thing. Then my computer started freezing and stuff. I tried to restart but it didn't respond and went black. Then I had to hard restart it and now the God damn hdd is probably corrupt because it says insert a boot drive and whatever. I am tired of this crap, the shit crap hdd had failed just 4 months ago and now, Jesus. And I don't believe the hdd is faulty as it is fairly new.
