Hi helzf,

You can try to run a Checkdisk on drive E to fix disk errors that can cause this problem. You can make a backup of the data on this drive and try to run checkdisk.

Check out the link:

Check your hard drive for errors

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

Hope this information is useful.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    I would like to ask you:

    • You are running Windows 7 or Windows 10 on your PC?
    • When was the last time it was working fine? Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Given that you are unable to complete the scan of SFC and Task Manager is empty, usually reinstall or do a repair install is the best choice of action. However, we can try to fix these files and check if that helps. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    1. Open the start menu and type "cmd".
    2. Right-click on the command prompt and click "run as administrator".
    3. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each.

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    After you run these commands, restart the system and check.

  • Error 0 x 80070571: the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable

    I recently had an error message saying "error 0 x 80070571: the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable," in reference to C:. I tried chkdsk oh so many times. No change.

    Recently, I was able to access the C: files sporadically. Occasionally, sometimes not. However, I can access my files in safe mode.

    When I start in normal mode, the system is acting funny. I will try to describe. It starts very well, go anyway for the office and everything. Sometimes, I am able to use the laptop for a few minutes until everything freezes but the cursor; nothing else responds, even not ctrl + alt + delete. Other times, I'm still not that chance. You know how pointing the cursor on an icon temporarily highlights the icon? Highlight the thing is sometimes just to block the system. Once locked, all I can do is hold down the power button.

    I tried the system restore, but it never once helped me with the cause of the system error.

    I also deleted some programs out of the startup list. Not sure if this would have an effect.
    I am running Vista Home on a HP Pavilion dv5.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I tried all three methods.

    Methods 1 and 2 have helped for a while, but not long. Method 3 found nothing.

    The only solution I can think of is to backup my personal files, then do a system format. Before you do a format, is there anything else that you could recommend?

  • The file system on the disk structure is corrupted and unusable. ...

    Dell Optiplex 3010
    WD5000AAKX

    Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit

    This is the drive that contains the operating system and was just replaced on 23 July. I restored the disk backups using Acronis True Image 2014.

    From July 25, I started to see

    The file system on the disk structure is corrupted and unusable. Please run chkdsk on the volume of OS utility.

    in the system (Source Ntfs, event ID 55) event log.

    I ran a CHKDSK /R on the disk and it reported no problem with the drive.

    Except for the scary messages in the system event log, I see no problem, but I also don't see these errors on the other disk in the machine.

    [I forgot to mention that the drive passes diagnostics pre-boot]

    What happens here?

    I see nothing in the article in PC Magazine directly addressed the problem. You were talking about the complexity and the possibilities of seriously screw things with True global Image?

    In addition, the link to the Microsoft solution irritates me to 'we're sorry, the requested page is not found.

    However, I think I found the solution, and it is quite related software.

    After scouring the logs of system events and application, I realized that the error I've been see is still bracketed by the subsystem VSS starts and stops and was almost always related to a backup operation or a virus scan.

    Some research (Google search, in fact) have allowed me to suspect that successful shadows of the disc were somewhat corrupt, so I simply deleted them (vssadmin delete shadows / for = c: / all). Since then, there has been no error reported, new instant shade have been created, and everything else works OK.

  • While the research on how to correct an error in the observer of events, W32 tried merging a .reg file and got an error message saying could not access the registry, why?

    http://www.techexams.NET/blogs/jdmurray/synchronizing-the-time-on-Windows-XP-and-Vista-with-the-Internet/

    Hello, I'm under win xp pro svc pk 3, ie 8, x32bit.

    I received an error in the Event Viewer system for time synchronization W32. Help box said not to worry if it's a computer for the home user, but I'm tired of doing all the time, every day, so I tried to find a way to get rid of it. On bing, I found the above Web site and tried to merge the nist servers in my registry but I kept getting msg. :

    Impossible to import c:\doc and set\adm\dsktop\timeservers.reg: the specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files in the registry editor.

    the first msg not acceding, and I guess it was because I had the registry open at the same time. Anyway after that I couldn't import, just add the items in the registry manually.

    My question is, really, was performed correctly by the copy of the list of servers of time in the text, paste it into a file and you try to merge?

    Appreciate any assistance with this issue.

    Just for info:

    If you see a message similar to the following:

    Impossible to import c:\Documents and Settings\Jose\Desktop\enableit.reg: the specified file is not a registry script.
    You can only import binary registry files in the registry editor.

    That means either that your registry import file is missing the top line (or it's the wrong syntax):

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    or the file you are trying to import is not a valid registry import file.
