I have had this before early last year. i Fixed it but after lots of playing around for a whole day. And cant exactly remember the way i went about it in the end. Just after some advice on what's the best way to go about fixing it and not loose any personal data on the PC Thanks in advance

Hey, I recently download a backup that contains a lot of folders of photos and videos at once, And when I tried to play or view the files, I got an 0xc00d36e5 error. (Just to give some context on why I assume this happened, I just switched from chrome to brave browser, it could be that..) Nevertheless, When I re-download folder by folder separately, I didn't get any errors. How could I scan or identify the rest of the folders, for a file with 0xc00d36e5 error? Instead of re-downloading the whole folder, I just want to replace certain files with that error. I tried to find tools for this , like sfc.exe, dism.exe or ffmpeg.exe But I am not really sure if those tools could help with just scaning a lot of folders (I don't need to repair the files, just to find them) If someone could help me with finding the right tool for this, that would be appreciated! -
Hello. Excuse me, but I need some help with my expansion drive problem, I need the data inside it since there are so many private and important stuff in it. So, previously I pulled out my expansion drive while it still reading some data because I'm in a hurry to get out of the house. When coming back and checking on the drive, it won't show up on My Computer even though it's connected, there is a usb connected sound. I checked the Disk Management menu, and Picture 1 is how it looks. I tried to look for the solution online, and some local forum suggest to Rebuild the MBR so it won't erased the data while fixing the problem. The forum tell me to use the Minitool partition wizard, which I did, shown in the Picture 2, but the every option for the drive is greyed out. Please help me, I need the data inside the drive but I'm also too broke to afford data recovery service which very pricey in my country. Thank you in advance for the answers.

Hello, Today I've ran into an issue where I was editing this mp4 file and of course it just s**** all over the file. It's definitely corrupted. I download EaseUs Fix Video tool and of course it saved my video and I was in relief until it said I had to pay. I really am stumpted and I really need this video. Another thing that just bugs me is that I know it is an easy fix but I have no idea what to install and do at this point! Any suggestions and help would be greatly apprecited. Cheers

Hi All, Hopefully I'm putting this query in the correct forum! I recorded a 25-30min WAV file using a Zoom H4n, unfortunately it was knocked off the surface i had placed it on, fell to the floor and turned itself off. On the SD card the file shows as "0kb" and wont play, is there a way I can recover this information? My research has told me that it is likely corrupted due to having not been saved properly by the Zoom due to the abrupt power disconnect, I have tried programs like Recuva as well as attempting to rip the RAW data from the SD card, but have not had any success... Is there anyone here who can offer suggestions on how to proceed? Is the data recoverable at all? Thanks, Lloyd

Upon boot my Alienware 17 R4 searches for media. It usually says "no media present" and quickly disappears as it then boots into the drive. I have a feeling it is because the drive has bad sectors. SMART status puts the drive at 92% health, it has over 60,000 TB writes to the drive with an expected life of ~320TBW. I have since replaced the drive however would like to know if any others have run into the issue before so I can better diagnose it for other consumers. I found that using less than 700TB makes the drive far more stable, as to be expected if the 1TB drive has bad sectors.

I was deleting Nvidia Shadowplay recordings using shift+del. About half a day later I noticed that I deleted some important files on accident. I ran Windows file recovery in "extensive" mode following this tutorial, specifying the correct folder and .mp4 file type. I have attached the recovery log, but I doubt it is of much use. The result was 4 files, as expected. The filesizes also match, there are two mutiple hour recordings both about 30 gigs in size and two shorter ones, under a gig. Both large files and one small are completely unplayable in VLC, while the remaining file plays, but has no sound (i am not actully sure if it had any sound before, as it had been deleted considerable time ago) After backing everything up, I have tried using Handbrake with one of the completely broken files and gotten the error log that is attached. Clicking "Properties" shows nothing but the filename. Is there any hope of recovering the lost files (or at least the audio track, as that is the important bit) at all, or they irreversably corrupted?

Hi! I desperately need your help A week ago, my computer crashed with a BSOD, the first I ever had. Ever since then, I couldn't boot into windows. I tried reinstalling windows, tried bringing other drives with windows (which worked, to an extent), but I couldn't change anything on the drive, only read from it, until it had enough and said "the path specified does not exist" or something like that, thus making me unable to access folders I have not yet opened (if I did open a folder before, I could still access it). After seeking help here, people said that the drive is probably faulty. So I gave up and bought a new SSD. Reinstalled windows, and it works. I tried accessing the old drive, and still same thing. I can access all folders (except my user folder) until it has enough and "shuts down". After it shuts down though, if I restart to the bios the SSD is not recognized, and will only be recognized if I shut down the PC and turning it back on. i tried software so check for corruption and errors, but it doesn't finish, and I suspect the drive "shuts down" before it could finish. If I didn't try accessing it in the file explorer before the checkup, the whole drive will be deemed "the path does not exist" and I can't see anything about the drive. Please help me figure out what it is. Is it just a dead drive? Could it be the M.2 slot? (the new SSD I bought is SATA). And could I do anything about it? Or should I just throw it away? Any help is appreciated!

So, since the last one has not been posted in a while, lets post a new one! I'll start. I wish my computer had a RTX graphics card in it.

I was just scrolling through my old hard drive and I see it a lot, where many file names will be replaced with X and occasionally capitalised. What's more confusing is these are the only files that are *not* corrupted compared to others. Heres a screenshot of a bunch of these files, the text files without 'X' are corrupted/encrypted for whatever reason. You can see that the X is forcefully replaced whatever text was previous there. Instead of key.png its XEY.PNG. Here is a non corrupted, perfectly fine text file: And here is another file that should look similar to above (notice that this one doesn't have X in the name, not sure how much of a correlation there is) Text form if you want to mess around: v BŸ2š:Û¶\¹ªáZÕ×hr²Uúb êLù๲|¡‚Æ£ãe—ùíJ¶í•Ž–¸$ÌBÐ<ÖLœž<•»½UrPuGJ¥òDDç"5ÔM5Êc/£LB³Œ¥ª_1ÊÜÛa´Ce—:£ A NA¹h‡c¼ÚYjmU;Iÿ„<§J• TóZÓmšÎx³…ÝwwÃ.4lÓŒäüt¹WSéUJx%L‚8Ø?ãrAï—ÜäÑ~Ö†¾£&Üo2òäÓ£°r[ñ£Yé¸ÊÕæ|êh›§ø*:0Zíîã¿2ïÊ@VqµíÉfY¾¼ÛŽýú(PL4m²ìW/+T•¦ …O–ÒVukwDCˆ{£ïJúIT4Ø [?jdˆÈú:låþ3ðó€L?=Å{…û|Õf\Icû¾÷Ëø8IÇ ADˆ/æ€û„RqBBûÓm‹)ÙR¹t5¨ßÞŒûߴߌ4*^ùúOm7L&ñ¢³Í…Š#¿çú‚qÕ{•PO‘£ŸÈ,nßwZƒîï‘ÞÐR3Oº=Ùó «{Z3Dk—󢔨•÷qÈOU1Yµ_ß/ˆ> M PuåB½7ÌroÂÈÄìt_áAi¹+䪪è¬\ð56¦;ë§ AWIÖ :ÓkhÂXiR¤w/ä \ÀœŽÅ7½°ÇY¤ÓïGdz³Wc²Ú8ŽNqŽ"°‘Þ5Œ5eö…hï5BÖÂM¤ÿš ]¸ñ Ç¢·Í[™®+U‹”új3Ñzò«¼ŒRLDêó¹ ÷R§ôv[v@”¾Û§šPÐïÝY40Ýß/‡á–ì–Ÿ÷ÐÔ—'„ÁᣈdkŒ[€b¹cM~ÿr'/ñN?½xØ…±ë_±æïéüF ˆp² Öñ4J“õE‰[ÓŠû°Ê uN)å¬~Wø‚ƒºâ”}/X™êß=ø¡ô“¦'<ÊP"1{0RûÊ€lØõÊ7Exš.¹èðM® &÷‰|z¼@š©ö«þ!YÒ{ßÁFšTÞÖ_ ÜVX_^ùšØ+°™©…qI1ù?Áb.Y`˜t³°_’½Ý‡~˜Q¶¨Ê[žïW£à3“X ö5¹I“7$E à¯.ÐÀecÂ::Œäïm±òáÅb\Î|HIuá¨è¾$I KEî—«ï1Á©Æò‚¡.+Ìåj‹í.í]ù„Q›ÃXòÐÄ~=h± ¬÷%2Ì4ˆ9D'äºãꑛ󊋨Îz—ƒ‘ªÃ2˜¨{jäFxõ‡¸y«eeƱaà•Í1wtèÖŽåÝᛜ‘¶nÀ~<”W7áСKm³<fŠt¥ÞãdGËìÄÈб“XÉÜ´¬¶µ}Ù|ûðWKÀÉ7mïMý…å§%Ìh4Öê¡$’¸Kï»Ács™1Ø篛GÄ•-¢âŸ?Ĩvß÷ ‹¨ž„PËè›6ƒÆó2]'‚c¢r¢†:˜.{m³Sƒ¾„HPJ¢³–"ABONi‰ÆÁWs”T¹$²còÌåbì@€TM;ñr&oiÁo©†·¹£+'Ñb5†^ø µ,×òúç ‚Á²Ñê$O^ÅjÒ_('Z$D²–Pn2wÖáH‡œV\á I've tried a lot of things to decrypt it to no prevail.

Long story short I'm trying to use Macrium Reflect to clone the SSD my Windows install is on to a new M.2 drive. The first 3 partitions clone fine, but the Windows partition fails due to "MFT corrupt - Error code = 6" chkdsk appears unable to resolve the issue. I've tried putting the system into recovery mode and running bootrec /fixmbr from CMD but this comes back with the error "the system cannot find the file specified" what can I try now?

This machine has been an absolute PITA. I have gotten Windows 7 to run.... twice. After the machine shuts down after a "successful" install, it will only boot in safe mode, as it won't even get past the "Starting Windows" animation without flashing the BSOD faster than I can take a picture. I have tried to install Windows 10, immediately failed in the exact same manner. I have tried to create the exact same Windows 7 installation as the one that it came with, but DELL's PoS (imagine that, DELL, Shit? whaaaat?) Recovery Tool won't even start a process in task manager on my other (also DELL) machine. I have tried different drives, different slots, different components (all individually tested to be working), but when I looked up the error code, 0x000000d, all I got was "Your PC is Messy". I have no idea what to do, everything I have tried has failed, even though all of the parts work. Specs: i7 980X (got lucky) 12GB of 1366Mhz DDR3 GTX 480 1.5GB (nVidia board, I forget what that is called) 1100w DELL servers part modular PSU (still works fine) DVD/BlueRay drives Weird wiring harness-like thing that allows for up to 6 3.5" drives BIOS version A11

*sorry for the long (and disorganized) post, but it was necessary; therefore, no TLDR* Hello, I've been spending the last two days on this, and, let me tell you, they were some of the most infuriating and least productive days in my life. It all started when updating ASUS Aura or Armoury Crate (I don't remember). I was running 20H2--terribly unstable, do not recommend. This update required a restart, so I did that. First thing I saw during boot was "Fixing (C:) Stage ___: __% (_______ of _______) Total: __%; ETA: _:__:__," then it got stuck on "Scanning and repairing Drive (C:): 100% complete" for way to long, so regretfully, I forced power down. Then, on next boot, I got "Diagnosing your PC," then BSnotOD: "Automatic Repair / Windows couldn't load correctly." Here, I got quite annoyed, and went and bought a new drive. A few hours later, I loaded up the original drive, and it worked fine, but now, "We can't sign into your account." For this, none of the steps here worked, and for the last one, I don't have enough drive space. Back to the new drive, everything was working fine with a clean install (of 20H2 because that's all I could get from Microsoft's website) and I went about installing all my programs and restoring my documents, pictures, music, videos, desktop, and downloads folders (this time, I installed all the before mentioned on another, separate drive. Then I restarted. This lead to the worst BSOD I have ever encountered: "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED." Computer launched itself into diagnosing and drive recovery, then promptly spit out: "Automatic Repair / Automatic Repair couldn't repair your PC." I couldn't even boot into safe mode. Then: "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" again. I also went into the command prompt and ran chkdsk "C: /f /r /x," but to no avail; drive still no work. So, I'm at a standstill, what the heck do I do?

My HP - Pavilion 15-cx0511na laptop was working fine but I wanted to increase performance so I installed a SSD upgrade and additional ram. When I tried to boot it was unable to post seeing many error messages and when in the bios it wont let me select the boot device and gives off a high pitch beep when I try to. From this I formatted all drives and attempted to reinstall windows 10 but have been unsuccessful. I have tried using a ms win10 usb aswell as an iso and uefi iso, none have worked so far. I feel that this may be a bios corruption but have tried to flush the bios but have been unable to do so. I have included screenshots of all the info and errors displayed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have an half dead USB stick, and am wondering if i can revive it somehow, I have already gotten all data from the folder i was trying to open, its very odd, sometimes it might open a folder, sometimes the explorer will not respond and I have to unplug the USB. If there is no way to revive it, it's ok, because there isn't a lot of important data on it. Jauns_video.mp4

My Computer bricked one night and everytime I hit the power button immediatly flashed and then turned off. I took the only drive in the system out and put it in my friends rig to recover the data on it because It contains important school work and nothing I have done so far can let me boot with this drive. I put my friends drive back in and now hes getting the same error (in the title) as I was. Any suggestions? Thanks -
Hi everyone, SOLVED: Turns out it was a dodgy SATAT cable. Strange that it only seemed to be one drive and not both, and only in one specific directory but nevertheless I am happy the problem has been found. I am having a very weird issue that I just can't seem to find a fix for. So I bought a couple of 6 TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives (brand new), and one of them seems to be possibly dying, but no software seems to show any indicator of it dying. I do have all the data backed up so data recovery isn't an issue. I went to clip a video on my PC and it was saved to my main SSD boot drive, and the file can be opened and viewed just fine. I then moved it to the drive in question in a specific folder. From then on whenever I even tried to open the folder, it would take FOREVER to load all the files in, and all the thumbnails and the file I just created would not open. It didn't error out or anything, it would just open in VLC media player and be a black screen. I thought that the file was broken, but I then moved the exact file to an external hard drive and that file works perfectly and the directory doesn't take long at all to load. It did however freeze the Windows explorer everytime I tried to open any file within that directory, so I deleted the folder and copy pasted it from my backup to the drive that does work back onto that drive and same thing. It would freeze Windows Explorer and then my screen would go black for a second and then come back and Windows Explorer would crash. I tried unplugging and replugging in the drive, and doing a quick format but I can't even format it as it just won't complete the format at all, and I checked the Task Manager for activity (see attached picture) and it constantly like this whether it is idle or being 'formatted'. So now I have a drive that has no partition on it as the format has failed. I also used Crystal Disk Info to see if it can detect anything bad (see screenshot) and as far as I can tell it seems ok? I don't really know how to interpret all the numbers and such but it says it is 'Good'. Please let me know if there is something within CDI I am missing. I have not dropped or caused any physical damage to the drive in any way and as you can tell from the CDI screenshot it is quite new. I am not too concerned about data loss as I have back ups but I would love to find out if there is something I can do to fix it. I did have a question about the drives making a clicking sound which they still do every now and then which has happened since I got them which I made a forum post about. See below for more details. Sorry for the very long post but I wanted to include as much detail as possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated )

This is a bit of a long post because of all the steps I took to try to fix the problem before posting to ask for help. A few days ago I accidentally hit the power switch on my power strip (the strip is right next to my pc and is easy to hit with one of the wheels on my chair I have accidentally done this before, but it didn’t cause any issues at all) that the pc was plugged into, which corrupted the ssd This started an automatic repair loop. One I got into recovery settings, I tried using cmd to repair it to no avail, I also tried resetting the ssd to factory, but it kept giving me an error saying it couldn’t be done. Later I tried I tried backing up the files on the corrupted ssd, reinstalling windows and restoring them to the new install, which would send me to the original repair loop, once I tried booting to it. (I cant run a backup from my actual backup HDD as it died a month beforehand.) The last thing I did was try using hiren’s win pe environment to run a restore from the same backup, but the current problem happened where it won’t show up in disk or device management. restarting the pc shows a black screen for about 10 min before running a repair loop. I have looked everywhere online to try to fix the problem but haven’t been able to to find any info on my issue. . This is also a prebuilt from cyberpower that I upgraded if that matters. Pc specs: Kingston 120 gb Sata ssd Adata xpg 512gb nvme m.2 ssd (corrupted, wont show up in winpe) \ tb hdd (where backup is stored) I5 8400 Msi rx 580 4g Msi b360m bazooka 8gb ram here are some photos. this will also be posted to other tech fourms such as Tomshardware and r/pcmasterrace

CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black EditionGPU: RX 460 (also tried:AMD Radeon HD7770)Mobo: ASRock N68-GS4 FXOS: Windows 10Hi guys, hoping someone can point me in the right direction here as I'm out of ideas. I upgraded my computer just before christmas 3 months ago in order to play some games smoother. Every now and then my computer will BSOD, once or twice a day, sometimes considerably more, once in a while it wouldn't crash all day. Not even necessarily when playing games.Sometimes it would blue screen before I even logged in, the error code will keep changing (I've listed most of these below.)DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFERKMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLEDPAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREAIRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALFAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGESometimes the blue screen wouldn't even fully load, with words being cut off half way through and not actually gathering any data forcing me to hard restart. And sometimes I won't get a blue screen at all, it might just hard freeze or restart without any warning.More often than not when it freezes my headset makes an ear wrenching noise which sounds like white noise on steroids. Don't know if that helps troubleshooting.I've also tried removing the new ram stick I bought for the upgrade which had also changed nothing.A resolution error causing my game to crash made me think that it was a graphics card error that was causing these problems. I removed the card to get a refund (I'm upgrading either way) And for the time being replaced it with my old AMD R7770 which didn't improve anything, then used onboard graphics which made things even worse. At this point the screen would start going black on every start up prompting a video_tdr_error (which would apparently be a driver problem, I used AMDs cleaner to remove all drivers from my computer.) and a restart loop until eventually automatic repair would kick in.The computer runs in safe mode although im pretty sure I got one or two BSOD with the error codes I listed above.Managed to get a fix to boot it into standard windows, but problems would prompt again. I had multiple attempts at installing AMD display drivers with my old graphics card, but near the end of the download it would make the screen lose connection, go black and reboot entire system without asking me or notifying me. And device manager said i still had standard windows display drivers?device manager also didn't recognise my old graphics card (7770) apart from one of the times I hardware refreshed. However the issue continued without the graphics card.Hope this is enough information? Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

I have w10 and a Seagate 1TB Expansion Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model STEA1000400 and I was using it just fine the other day. Than I didn't touch for a few days. Plugged it back in and get a message that says K:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I really don't think it's corrupt because I had this problem with the drive before and it was kind of on/off again until reformatting solved it, but I don't want to lose my data this time. Does anyone know how I could copy the data off the drive or fix this problem altogether? Before I received this message, the drive was showing up in windows explorer and showed the used/free space, but when I double clicked it the drive was empty. After trying it on my laptop I started getting that error message instead and now it won't even display the used/free space. Am I totally screwed or is there a way to fix this?

Im having some issues with firefox at the moment. When saving images from some sites for some reason the file will be corrupt.

Thanks.

So my computer was recently playing up, it has been constantly blue screening after a couple hours of use consistently for the better part of 2 months, I had sent it in for repairs but each time they would send it back and say its fixed when it clearly wasn't as the crashes would continue. anyway, i noticed that the hard drive had been putting out several error messages around the time of the crash and then did nothing more with that information, until today. I figured that a reason that the computer might be BSODing so much because I still had my GTX-960 drivers installed, and those might be conflicting with my newer GTX-1060 drivers, causing problems, however after uninstalling the 960 drivers i went to play a steam game to test if the problem had been resolved, and found that every single one of my games was missing, as they were all installed on the hard drive and not my SSD. the hard drive had been changed to the File System type as "RAW" and I was unable to format the drive or access it. I resorted to deleting the Partition for the drive and recreating it which seems to have fixed the problem, however now the drive is showing up twice, with one constantly having the status as "Formatting" I'm wondering not only is it safe to delete the duplicate hard drive with the formatting status, but also how to go about using the hard drive from here on out. should I replace the drive ASAP, or will it be fine to use for some time now that its back to NTFS. this is how the Computer Management looks like currently, after recreating the HDD Partition, I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks, Gianni. Update / Edit: the "formatting" drive has now disappeared, and the drive seems to be working again, but I would still appreciate any advice or knowledge on if any of the BSOD problems could be caused by any of the changes I talked about in the original post, as well as any information moving forward on if the drive is safe to use now.
