After my PC shutdown due to power failure, I noticed several errors in EventViewer.

The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.

The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.

So I forced a chkdsk check at startup, and it finds a stream of error, here is the output, it is smaller than the actual log, because, Event Viewer only seems to have this much, the same line was repeated thousands of times.Here is that line.

Some clusters occupied by attribute of type 0x80 and instance tag 0x4
in file 0x198f2 is already in use.
Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "")
from file record segment 104690.
Attribute record of type 0x80 and instance tag 0x0 is cross linked

Also, even after running CHKDSK, the same errors were being reported again so I ran CHKDSK another time and it still loops the same line above, without fixing the error.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Best Answer

I managed to fix this problem by running CHKDSK 4 times, I allowed CHKDSK to run for four times, and then amazingly no errors !
