After win10 update on last Friday, my computer didn't turn off, so I turned it off. After rebooting, the below line on the black screen occurred, it says fixing HDD some %, eventually it was checking over 100%. I turned it off and checked the HDD by several thankful advices from youtube and google users over 3 days.

But the problem is still unsolved. (I wonder why only the Stock program folder files are still remaining)

●My pc situation ●

  1. Most Top folders are remaining.
  2. Most sub folders and files are disappeared except a few useless folders.
  3. Only a Stock exchange program folder is alive. I can see the files
  4. I see $SysReset folder with the malfunction date. ...

Anybody help me please. ...

■Things I'd done over 3 days■

  1. virus check advised by MS

    v3, bitdefender, and a few other vaccine programs

    Result: It's clean

  2. Bad sector check

    All green

  3. chkdsk

    the final response: unidentified errors occurred!

  4. attrib -h -r -s /s /d h:\*.*

    access denied

  5. Windows error check

    Result: Can't recover the drive

  6. HDD SCAN with a program

    All green

  7. hidden file option check

    No good

  8. I tried to recover at least excel files with several recovery programs. But it failed. (Recovered some files but no good)

.....

What else can I do? plz help me.....

1. Make sure your backups are up to date

You have backups, right? You should, because your software and hardware won't give you a courteous warning before failing.

If you don't, copy all your important data to external storage now.

2. Check if the disk is healthy

It seems that your filesystem is corrupted. This should not happen under normal circumstances. One possible explanation would be that your drive is failing.

Check SMART parameters. Focus on pending sectors and reallocated sectors. Both should have the raw value of 0. If they are different than 0, it means the drive has noticed some problems and is trying to fix them (and apparently it's not successful). Such drives can get worse anytime and shouldn't be used to store any important files.

3. Format the drive

Fixing a filesystem corrupted so badly chkdsk doesn't want to touch it is not feasible. You'll have to create a new one, ie. format the drive. This implies wiping all your files (and Windows, if it's the system partition). You can restore them from backups afterwards.

If you've determined that the drive is failing in the previous step, you may be tempted to clone the old drive to the replacement. Don't do that. Corrupted filesystems can't be cloned reliably.
