Hi,
My Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive with many audio/video files just had a crash and it's all messed up now. What happened was I got this message:
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility
then i restarted the computer and it automatically ran chdsk on the external drive and it gave me messages like this while running:
First: One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. and then:
in file 0x5 is incorrect.
00 00 01 ba 44 da 8d 32 96 03 01 89 c3 f8 00 00 ....D..2........
01 e0 07 ec 81 00 00 53 20 03 cb 16 53 87 14 12 .......S ...S...
Correcting error in index $I30 for file 5.
The index bitmap $I30 in file 0x5 is incorrect.
Correcting error in index $I30 for file 5.
The down pointer of current index entry with length 0x18 is invalid...
Once it was all done it seemed like everything was fine, all my files and folders showed up. The problem is all my files are MIXED UP. so when i open up a video/audio file a totally different files starts playing. So the filenames are no longer associated with the correct data, and the files are all jumbled together even though the file names are all intact. Other files just won't open at all. I've run a few hard disk checks (Chkdsk and the western digital lifeguard diagnostics extended test) and everything is fine, no bad sectors or anything. but now my files seems to be totally messed up and mixed together, is there any way to fix this? It seems like when chkdsk fixed the file system structure it screwed up everything......
Any ideas? Thanks!
