[Lyte]

Am having trouble backing up, ive tried so many stuff to try to find the error but i just cant find it, it was working 1 month ago, and suddenly this error pops up
every boot up, it asks for chckdsk, and when i let it run, it runs for 10 seconds without showing any progress and boots up normally, but in reality there is an error

Please boot your computer with Windows Setup Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt.

Please type below command into Command Prompt and press Enter key.

Following command will fixes errors on the disk and locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.

Chkdsk C: /r

Please replace partition letter C: with Windows installed partition letter. When the computer boots into Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment, the drive letter assign to Windows partition may not be C: drive letter because Windows 7, 8 , 8.1 and 10 creates a separate system partition when it's installed from scratch. The system partition contains boot files WinRE assigns the system partition the C: drive letter and the Windows installed partition will be assigned any other drive letter, usually D: drive letter is assign to Windows installed partition. The Bcdedit | find "osdevice" command can be used to find out the drive letter of the Windows installed partition, the output of the Bcdedit command is similar to this osdevice partition=D:. The drive letter after partition= is the drive letter of the Windows partition.

It's always a good idea to backup files before attempting chkdsk /r. I've seen files get scrambled although not lost, very hard to find again, particularly if user doesn't remember the name since the path changes.

This happens when files system is corrupted and data is stored on bad sector which Chkdsk tries to recover the data.

Corday understands that, but his point was that you should create a suitable backup before running CHKDSK, since it can make matters worse in some circumstances.

I agree.
