• Removal of damaged and unreadable files

  After recovering from a failure of the HD, restoration has added a few corrupted files. I can't remove them and have used all of the methods suggested, I could find (for example, chkdsk, disk cleaner, unlocker, safemode, Hiren BootCD)? Apparently the failed drive content/caused some files to become corrupt were then copied to the backup file and more later restored corrupted.

  I replaced the defective drive and then restored from a backup, Acronis. The Documents and Settings folder found \temp so I could copy the files needed for new Documents and Settings. Everything seemed to have worked fine until I tried to remove the Documents and Settings is no longer necessary to \temp. Now, I have a number of different files in \temp which cannot be deleted. Error when I try to remove one of the offending files is "cannot delete [filename]: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

  Can someone suggest another method to clean up this mess short of reformatting the new drive and reinstall again? TIA.

  ·         Do you have an error message when you run the disk check?

  I suggest to run the check disk in safe mode and check if it helps.

  WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and tries to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

  Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the index system using check diskfile. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) click Startand then click run.

  (b) in the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.

  (c) click Yes to schedule disk check when the computer is restarted.

  (d) restart the computer and let the disk check run and check.

  NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

  This problem prevents me to reinstall iTunes to be able to use my iPod touch.

  Hey Bcoons21,

  This issue would be better addressed by Apple, as the program file is related to their software. You can contact through this site:

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

• When I opened my computer it always tells me that the file is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility... I searched my computer for "chkdsk utility" and can't find that. Help, please!

  Can someone help me please, I don't know how to use a computer I was googlen 4 days! When I opened my computer it always tells me that the file is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility... I searched my computer for "chkdsk utility" and can't find that. Help, please!

  From what you say, you are probably unable to start Windows.

  In this case, when you start the computer, keep tapping the key "F8" on the keyboard until the Advanced menu comes up. Then choose "Safe Mode".

  You will see something like your ordinary, here to enter office "chkdsk volume: /f" (replace with your hard drive volume, in most cases, it's 'c') at the command prompt.

• Program files is damaged, or unreadable

  I get the following message is displayed:

  The file or the directory c:\program files is damaged and unreadable run chkdsk utility.

  I tried to run chkdsk many times but cannot enforce. I planned that it runs when you restart the laptop that she keeps asking but nothing happens, and the same message keeps reappearing. Does that mean I need a new hard drive?

  FYI, you can always buy new computers Win7.  It should close the sales departments that sell to businesses.  These guys are well aware that a businessman isn't about to buy Win10.

• All Users Temp damaged and unreadable

  Recently, every time I play a game on my computer or open a program that writes to a specific folder, I get a message that the file is "damaged and unreadable.  The folder is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Temp.  I can't open the folder as he calls the same message "corrupted and unreadable" However right click and checking the properties of the folder say it is empty.

  Things tried so far:
  chdksk that indicates the volume was dirty, cleaned the inconsistencies, no bad sectors.
  has ran diagnostics hard drive which is no problem;
  ran scans with antivirus/antispyware programs updated (all results were clean);
  Defragment the hard drive and ran the system cleanup.

  My computer is fully patched with all Microsoft Security updates and hardware drivers are up to date.  I am running Windows XP Home edition, with 2 GB of RAM, processor 2.79 GHz, 110 GB hard drive with 83 GB free.  Does anyone have an idea re: this may be the cause and how can I solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  I just wanted you to know, I have used Hirens to begin the GUI miniXP and was able to delete the TEMP folder to use.  Then, I ran chkdsk /r again and rebooted.  The folder was gone and I hired no additional error of all programs opening who was writing in this folder.  And each several reboots, the record has yet to appear again.

  I have no explanation how this folder appeared and executable program wrote it, but I suspect that the hard drive could be on the way, despite the chkdsk and hddiagnostics say otherwise.

  Everything is saved and I'm ready to install a new drive if the worst should happen.

  Thank you for all your help with this strange problem.  I certainly appreciate.

• Cannot delete the corrupted/unreadable file in mode without failure or BACK

  Instructions Web software to solve my problem was to remove the user files, uninstall and reinstall the program. I was able to delete the 5 files 4. The 5th is damaged and unreadable.

• "The file is maybe damaged. The file header checksum does not match the checksum calculated. »

  Hello

  I work with a HP Pavilion a6030n PC with Vista OS base. I had problems with the computer recently when starting. He continues to work at some point during the process and crash, forcing a hard stop. I'm not too computer savvy, but can generally work through questions. I tried several (and probably useless) methods to try to get the computer to work, with a modicum of success. Today, I received this message: "the file is maybe damaged. The file header checksum does not match the checksum calculated. "Hmmm... I looked through the forums and found a lot of computer-speak, who basically told me that I'm over my head. I thought that I would try at least ask the question before resorting to what is the hard drive a person to fix if all goes well.
  I can get it working again, or is my HP to his last breath?
  Thank you!
