• Nearly everything corrupted by shutting down on chkdsk
    6 replies, posted
So my PC ran chkdsk in the like an hour ago and I chose thorough scan. Shouldn't have, seemed like it would have taken the whole day. I had no choice but to restart/shut down cause I wasn't gonna wait the whole day. Next thing I see, "personalizing your desktop"? Okay, it goes onto a desktop which isn't mine, error pops up "failed to log into your account, using temporary account". Tried to log onto my account again, same thing. Ran a bunch of applications, most of them shot an error at me saying "file.exe is corrupted". Anyways, is there a way to restore my stuff again? Should I try to run chkdsk again without interrupting it this time, or go for a system restore? Oh and as far as I saw, fortunately nothing is missing. [editline]14th December 2013[/editline] So I did run chkdsk and system restore no longer has restore points for some reason. Well I could run Firefox this time, but when I right click on a file on explorer it crashes, and I can't log into my account still, instead it logs into default account. Any suggestions anyone?
Well everything's not corrupted now except that right clicking a file still crashes explorer and my account data is corrupted/can't be accessed or something so I'm on default profile.
Try to open command prompt and type sfc /scannow It will fix any broken windows files
Right after it finishes at 100% it closes. Guess that's fucked up as well..

Then pray your impatience didn't fuck the file system bad enough where you have to reformat and reinstall Windows.
[QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;43186704]Yeah, you can't just cancel a chkdsk because you don't want to wait because stuff like this happens.[/QUOTE] Didn't really think about chkdsk corrupting files when I did that. No big loss, it's on my old PC and I hope to build a new one soon :v: [QUOTE=GiGaBiTe;43186704]you're going to have to schedule a boot time scan[/QUOTE] can you tell me how could I do that? I researched but still didn't find it.
