I really need help please. I tried what you suggested but when I try to go in to find the corrupt or missing file when I type dir - the directory list stops just before the file with the problem and won't list the rest of the directory and it then freezes and I have to switch the machine off and start again. Can you help please.

[judy4176]

Yes I need help I did all the process you had and it still comes up and says the file is missing or corrupt . when I did the directory it has the old ntfs and then the new one...........so I have no clue what is going on......thanks

[HoodBoyz1337]

thanks dude, that worked, but as a notice, if u have 2 partitions, you have to delete one... because you cant copy the file in the second partition.
