(I have reviewed the other postings here plus dozens of others in other sites.)
The recommeded action is to use Chkdsk with /f possibly with other parameters. I have gone through this numerous times, without success.
I have looked at the mft files with Testdisk and used Repair MFT option. The response is "MFT and MFT mirror matches perfectly"
I also used GetDataback which shows on both files a last access date of over two years ago! I don't understand this. Neither am I clear how to use Getdataback to repair MFT if indeed it does need repair.
Concurrent issues. The last main thing I did before this occurred was to remove indexing on my C drive. From what i understand this should not impact at all of MFT. I have also been having intermittent isssues with Windows Explorer which regularly reports that it has to shut down. BTW, I have also uninstalled IE7.
Any ideas out there as what to do next??
Options I have considered are:
Do a full defrag?
Use my Acronis backup to restore from a day before this issue first occurred.
(Windows Restore is not an option, it lets me go so far then nothing happens, even though I can select a restore point etc. )
Reformat C and rebuild! (I have a D drive which mostly has my documents, downloads etc.
Thanks,
I have just completed a deep check with the Hitachi utility (Driver Fitness Test) for my drive. It all seems to check out perfectly and gives an 0x00 Dispostion Code whatever that is.
