TomP Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Connected a Samsung USB phone by USB which auto-loaded a driver that has corrupted a non-OD HD. Try to run chkdsk to fix it, but I get a message saying it cannot run because of loading the Samsung driver and to go back to an earlier restore point, which I did but get the same message.I have Paragon HDM which says the drive MFT is corrupted and could be fixed with chkdsk,so before I do anything drastic, has anybody any advice on.... 1. Is there any way to force chkdsk to run? 2. Are there any other programs that could fix this? 3. Can I restore the disk (or maybe just some corrupted folders) from my WHS 2011 backup and how do I do that? and do I have to remove / delete the folders before hand? Thanks in worried hope...TomP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomP Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Update: It looks like only the main folder containing Music is affected as I can access the drive in my homegroup remotely, so can I just delete just this folder and restore it with WHS2011? When I check with TestDisk, does this mean anything - it says ... 1 x DiskSecure MB size 1917848077 Bad relative sector 2 x Sys=43 size 1818575915 Bar relative sector 3 x Sys=72 size 10 Space conflict between 1 x DiskSecure MB and 3 x Sys 72 I can't see any 'fix' options in this program so advice on any others would help greatly Edited February 7, 2016 by TomP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Have you tried moving the drive to another system and running Chkdsk from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomP Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 I hadn't thought of that so I'll try it. Thanks Schoondoggy !! PS: Quote doesn't seem to work for me so please excuse the separate reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomP Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks itGeeks, but sadly access to corporate networks often bans the use of other than IE, so I guess I'll have to put up with the limitations. I am running Chkdsk now successfully and getting a lot of 'File Segment xxxxx is unreadable' messages. It looks like they are about 15% of the disk so some 85% may be recoverable. Am I better to restore individual folders / files from the backup or restore the complete backup onto a new HD? and what is the procedure for that complete restore?
