I have a Pentium 4, Windows XP Home Edition and this problem is driving me mad. My pc says dskchkr.exe - application error. When I try to run diskchecker it says "it is unable to run in autofix mode because volume c: is in use by another application" and asks if i want to schedule it to run on startup. It will not run on startup. I also have had this message onscreen "The file or directory c:WINDOWSPrefetchMCUIMGR.exe-0E667E1B.pf is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility. !!! I have taken Macafee off my pc (or I HOPE so), and now I have NO diskchecker on AT ALL. I think I have some programs on which I thought I had removed but I cant get rid of them all without paying. Im losing my mind !!!!
Some time ago I booted up my computer,to find that my XP switched to Windows classic style,I didn't take it seriously so I went to properties to change when I get an error message saying there is a problem with run32.dll,not only that,but the visual styles can't load I assume,becuase of run32.dll,so now I'm stuck with the piece of s*** style.
I recently reinstalled Windows XP Home w/SP2 on a system and everything worked well. I also installed a Seagate 500 GB HDD as a slave drive. I had no problems assigning a drive letter (D:) and mapping it as a network drive. Then yesterday, a Windows error message popped up saying there was "Delayed Write Failure" or something similar. It was at that point the the slave drive became inaccessible. I can still see the drive in My Computer but that is all. I went into disk management and click on properties, it says the file system is "RAW". I have no idea what that means.
The drive is still assigning a drive letter (d:) and it says is it is healthy (active). However, when I try exploring the drive it says "D: is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"." I then tried using CHKDSK to check the drive for errors in the DOS prompt. But again, nothing happened. I used Seagate Diagnostic tools to scan the drive for errors. There is nothing physically wrong with the drive as it passed all the tests except for the file structure test.
File or Directory C:$MFT is corrupt or unreadable. Run CHKDSK /f.Got this message on a WinXP Home SP2 box. I can't run chkdsk /f because I'm using the disk (obviously) When I reboot however, the system does it's own chkdsk but doesn't find any errors. The message keeps coming back. I don't get any hits when I search the KB.

I really need some help here. I have a second HD with no OP system on which I just use to store most of my music, pics, documents etc. The problem is when I click on one of the folders (my most important one I get the message "file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"I really need to get to this folder,
the file or directory C:\windows is corrupt and unreadable If I restore factory settings will this fix problem? I've run chkdsk utility a million times with no luck
I dont know when it started, but almost exactly after a week or so of me using this machine, it comes up with a The File or Directory C: is corrupt and unreadable. Please Run the Chkdsk Utility. error.I always try and run checkdisk, but then it comes up with the exact same error trying to load Checkdisk. I end up Reformatting, and reloading everything, and then almost Exactly, The Same thing happens in a week... or just under. (its been 6 days now i think since the last time)
Cannot Delete Projects: The File Or Directory Is Corrupt Or Unreadable Keep getting this message when i try to delete a folder on my computer and whatever i do it wont delete
Running Windows XP home, well-protected from viruses and spyware with all the usual recommended programs. I have a 160G external firewire hard drive, NTFS system. Cannot access data all of a sudden, I am getting an error message, "file system corrupt and unreadable." In disk management, the drive is listed as healthy, 160G, but no NTFS listed. What could have caused this, and is there a way to retrieve the data? Are there any low-cost or freeware programs to do this, or is it inevitable to spend a "fortune?"
I have a usb external enclosure which holds a 120 gig hard drive that I use for storage. I shut it off when I am done to save power, and just the other day I notice a file on it that is quite large isn't allowing me to open it any longer. It keeps saying that the 'file or folder is corrupt and unreadable'...Weird. I was just looking at the folder yesterday. Is there absolutely anything I can do to get that data back?? All the other files on that hard drive are fine. Why did it target out that file?
I hooked up a drive I haven't used in quite some time in my new external case. with some of the directories on there I get this."the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" and it won't let me access it what causes this and is there any way to fix it?
Whenever I try to open my 48Gig partition on my slave hard drive, I get this message:F:is not accessible The File or directory is corrupted and unreadable this is very strange because I just used it earlier today and opened it to look in it with no problem. It was formated NTFS yesterday to only be used by my W2K operating system on the extended partition of my dual boot setup....but it is still visible in my Win98 My Computer list(I didn't think NTFS partitions could be seen by Win98).
PC wont boot up any more , it says there could be a currupt or missing file , it says its config system and says it might be able to repair the file using the install disc. i have a System Recovery CD-ROM
I have a user with a home driectory that has created a folder with mutliple folders within it. I am not sure how far the direcroty goes, but I have counted to at least 26 directories deep. I cannot delete the parent folder in either explorer, or from the prompt. At the prompt I have tried RD foldername and it says, "Folder not empty". Tried del foldername*.* with no error and still cannot delete it.
I usually backup my weeks work on Friday afternoons. What I do is run a "search" for all files created or modified within the last 7 days and then "copy" all relevant files to a folder on an external hard drive, and then burn a CD.
Everynow and then, I get the following message. "Cannot Copy File: Cannot Read From the Source File or Disk"
My Compaq Presario 7470 was on its last legs (error messages, blue Fatal Expressions, cutting out and starting over) when I retrieved as many files as I could on compressed cds (Ce Quadrat Packet) before Windows Explorer stopped letting me access. I now have an eMachines T6410 with Windows XP and I can't open these files to read them nor copy them to my present system. eMachines suggests connecting the old pc to this via cable and accessing in that manner, but, I did a Restore on the old one before the monitor went completely blank so there's nothing to access. Surely there must be somebody out there who has had a similar situation, transferring backups that were created in Windows 98SE and compressed and now need to be accessed and copied on Windows XP! PLEASE HELP! (My 5-year collection of music is on these cds!)
I have had this problem for quite a time now. Everytime I try to download a file it is corrupt.For instance, I tried downloading a movie clip off rapidshare and although its only 3 files and 300MB, it always came as CRC error check failed. I tried downloading it from multiple servers of rapidshare but had no success. I also tried downloading other files yet I am having no success downloading anything.
trying to copy pictures or word document to a 4 gig san disc. The message I get is cannot copy ....: files on this cd-rom drive are read-only. You cannot copy or move files over to this cd-rom drive.
The drive in question is a dynamic data disk, not my system drive. I had reason to re-install windows onto my system drive. Before I did that I checked to make sure that the data drive, which is formatted as an NTFS drive, and is a dynamic disk, was intact and functioning ok. With XP installed on the system drive I went to look for the data drive in explorer (have done this procedure on many occasions without problems) and could not see the drive. Go to administrative tools and I see a message that says the drive is unreadable.
I have two hard drives in my computer. The first disk contains XP and the software, the second contains personal stuff. The second disk is installed using NTFS dynamic disk. Last weekedend I formated the XP disk, and installed XP again. After installing, the second disk comes up as "unreadable" dynamic disk. Is there a way to make it readable? I haven't done anything to it, so all the data should be there.

after waking my computer up from screen saver and trying to minimize an internet explorer, everything froze. I restarted it by reset switch, and an "NTLDR missing" message came. I started windows by recovery console and I was able to log on to my windows installation (I did nothing, because i have forgotten how to replace NTLDR!). I checked the connection IDE cable to my primary ATA hard drive (disk 0) and the message didn't appear again. Windows started and just before displaying welcome screen "the blue crash screen" came up and computer restarted automatically. I was not able to read the error message because I saw the blue screen just as a splash! I tried recovery console again and it did not recognize my windows installation. then i tried to install windows again. there were 4 drive available.....
I recently got a new computer with Win XP. I had backed up all my files on floppy disk, and then transferred those to a CD. When I try to access the files on my new computer, they are all in computer language. Can anyone tell me what I should do to be able to access files in English?
My 500GB External HDD is not accessible anymore. It was working yesterday when i used it with windows 7. It automatically ran the disk check on that system and it worked. When i plugged into the USB of my XP laptop and double clicked the drive in My Computer the following error message appeared: D: is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. The drive letter shows on My Computer and Disk Management.
I have been able to able my last problem where my computer was always rebooting, but now that this is fixed. I have ran in yet another problem... a BIG problem. My 300 GB Maxxtor Hard Drive now lists as Dynamic Unreadable... I am now trying to find a way to recover my files... I am running a PC Inspector File Recovery Scan and then will be a recovermyfiles Scan. Was wondering if anyone has other ideas to fix this/get the files.
I noticed that certain features of my PC would suffer from very small fonts to the point of being unreadable.I don't know what caused this. An example of the issue is when I go to Administrative Tools/Services, when I highlight a service in the list,the corresponding Service description shows with very small fonts Other areas of Windows also suffer from this
Windows updated and my computer restarted itself this morning and since then everytime i try to use a programmes such as internet explorer, a game or google earth I get a message of: "The application or DLL C:WINDOWSsystem32urlmon.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check your installation diskette" in a box with a red cross in it in the centre of the screen.And from a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it from the toolbar at the bottom a bubble saying "the file or directory WINDOWSSystem32URLMON.DLL is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utilty"
