Solution Steps
- 1 Run the Check Disk utility to scan for and fix disk errors. Open Command Prompt as administrator (Windows key + X → Terminal (Admin)). Type 'chkdsk C: /f /r' and press Enter. You'll be prompted to schedule a check on restart. Restart your PC and let it run. This scans your hard drive for bad sectors and file system errors.
- 2 If you can't boot normally, boot from Windows installation media and select 'Repair your computer' → 'Troubleshoot' → 'Advanced options' → 'Command Prompt'. Then run 'chkdsk C: /f /r' from there.
- 3 Run SFC and DISM to repair system files. In the same Command Prompt, type 'sfc /scannow' and then 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth'. This fixes corrupted system files that might be affecting the NTFS driver.
- 4 Update your storage drivers. Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Disk drives' and 'Storage controllers'. Right-click each device and select 'Update driver' → 'Search automatically for drivers'. Outdated drivers can cause file system errors.
- 5 Check the health of your hard drive using manufacturer tools or Windows built-in tools. Press Windows key + R, type 'dfrgui' and press Enter to open Defragment and Optimize Drives. Also, use 'wmic diskdrive get status' in Command Prompt to check if the drive reports 'OK'.
- 6 If the error persists, consider restoring your system to a previous point. Press Windows key + R, type 'rstrui', and press Enter. Follow the wizard to choose a restore point before the issue started.
