Was it during Disk Checking(chkdsk)? By the way, good thing you asked.
@@simpletechnicalsoloutions yes
If you're encountering issues with your file hierarchy being disrupted during a CHKDSK (Check Disk) operation, it's likely due to CHKDSK attempting to repair or correct errors it finds on your disk.
CHKDSK is a Windows utility that scans the file system for errors and attempts to fix any issues it encounters. Sometimes, if it finds corruption or inconsistencies in the file system, it may need to move files around, change file attributes, or even delete files in order to repair the issues.
Here's what you can do if you're experiencing disruption to your file hierarchy during CHKDSK:
*Let CHKDSK Complete:* If CHKDSK is in progress, it's generally best to let it complete its operation. Interrupting CHKDSK prematurely can potentially lead to more severe problems.
*Backup Your Data:* Before running CHKDSK or attempting any repairs, it's always a good idea to back up your important data. This ensures that even if something goes wrong during the repair process, you won't lose any critical files.
*Review CHKDSK Output:* After CHKDSK completes, review its output carefully to see what actions it took. CHKDSK typically logs its actions to the Windows Event Viewer or creates a log file on your disk. You can use this information to understand what changes were made to your file system.
*Restore from Backup:* If CHKDSK has caused significant disruption to your file hierarchy, you may need to restore your data from backup. This will ensure that your files are returned to their original state before the CHKDSK operation.
*Consider Disk Health:* If CHKDSK is repeatedly finding errors or causing disruption to your file hierarchy, it may indicate underlying issues with your disk's health. In such cases, it's a good idea to run diagnostics on your hard drive or SSD to check for hardware problems.
Remember that CHKDSK is a powerful tool, but it should be used with caution. If you're not comfortable running CHKDSK or interpreting its output, it may be a good idea to seek assistance from a knowledgeable friend or a professional technician.

@@simpletechnicalsoloutions thanks very much for response and for information 👍🌹
Hi ! What does it mean when it says: "File record segment A is unreadable"?
The error message "File Record Segment A is Unreadable" typically indicates that there's a problem with a specific part of the file system on your storage device. This error must have appeared during your disk check (CHKDSK) process or when trying to access certain files or folders on your computer.
This error can occur due to various drive or file system corruption, physical hard drive issues, software issues, any malware or any virus.
However, thanks a lot for asking this. If you need anymore help, please tell me.
@@simpletechnicalsoloutions thank you for your response! I sent you an email from the one that you have posted on your CZcams channel.
Please don't forget to check out other videos.
@@bigtaskat-hand4742 Sorry, l don't get it. I mean, l couldn't understand what you are saying about the email.
@@simpletechnicalsoloutions Ok, here's my current problem. In running disk management on my computer, part of the external hard drive is Unallocated. How can I reverse the Unallocation?
What does deleting index entry means
Deleting an index entry typically refers to the process of removing a specific reference or pointer to a data item within an index data structure. Index entries are commonly used in various computer systems and databases to optimize data retrieval and search operations.
Please give more details, so l can answer better.
Its say the file is raw
When a file system is reported as "RAW," it typically means the system doesn't recognize the file format. This might indicate corruption or damage to the file system structure. Running a disk check or using data recovery software might help retrieve the data or repair the file system. Also if you are unsuccessful to revive the data, there's nothing to do. As l always tell, data recovery is a very complex difficult concept.
I try tomarrow i hope its work on my usb

Don't forget to open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode

By the way, I didn't repair your PC, Windows itself did it but I just shown you how to give the command to do that.
