Posted December 11, 2014 Ok, here's the story so far. I turned off my computer and booted off a Ubuntu Live CD. This goes without a hitch. I proceed to reboot and my issues arise. I get stuck at "Windows is Starting" and no orbs of light pop up like usual. Note that I'm on Windows 7. It proceeds to go to System Repair. I let it do its stuff and it says its fixed. I reboot and it gets stuck again, then goes back into System Repair. It tells me it can't be fixed. It comes up with SystemRepairOffine, AutoFailover, and CorruptFile. I googled this and none of these solutions would work. My install disk tells me the version of Windows isn't compatible and this is the same disk I installed with. So I run bootrec.exe and /scanos. Tells me I have NO installations. Doesn't make sense because I'm trying to fix one right now. I pull the hard drive out. I plug in one of my spares and installed Windows. I plug in the other HDD and it tells me there's something wrong. I let it "Scan and Fix" overnight. I wake up and take a look at the drive. Nearly all my files are gone. I take a look at the usage and I still have 2.4 used out of 2.72, but if I highlight all folders in the root directory it shows up as about 21 GBs. Where did everything else go? Its still obviously taking up space on the drive,but its not visible. And also it was at 208GB free before the "Scan and Fix", but now it shows up as 480. Where did my 200GBs of stuff go? And as well as that I had at least 1TB of stuff on my user profile. This tells me its still there but how can I find it? | CPU- AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 Ghz | Motherboard - Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 | RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB 1333mhx (2X8GB) | GPU - Asus Radeon R9 280 @ 980mhz | Case - Antec GX500 | Storage - Western Digital Purple 3TB 5400RPM | PSU - Corsair CX750M | | Display - Asus VW246H 1080p @60Hz 2ms GTG | Keyboard+Mouse - Logitech S510 | Sound - Realtek Intergrated Audio :( | Case Cooling - 3x Antec Stock 120mm fans (Planning to add more) | Headset - Turtle Beach X12 with virtual surround | OS - Windows 7 64 Bit Pro | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 12, 2014 Scan and Fix as in you right click the Drive and Scan and Fix? That may have formatted your drive... Why didnt you Try SFC /Scannow in CMD Your file table or something may of been corrupted You may want to download a File recovery program and scan for deleted files and see if they were deleted. --- CPU: AMD A10-7850k --- Motherboard: ASUS X88MPlus --- RAM: G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133 Dual --- GPU: Integrated APU --- Case: Aerocool Dead Silence Gaming Cube Case --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
