Corruption Messages When You Access NTFS Partition

When you attempt to access an NTFS file system based Windows partition, you might encounter any of the below mentioned error messages in Microsoft Windows Explorer or at command prompt:

Internet Explorer

F:\is not accessible.
The disk structure is corrupt and unreadable.

F:\is not accessible.
There is not enough space on the disk.

Command prompt

C:\>F:
The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.

C:\>F:
There is not enough space on the disk.

During boot process, you may also encounter the following error message, if the damaged volume is boot or system volume:

“Stop 0x0000007B (0x00000000, 0xC0000032, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Inaccessible_boot_device”

If you run Chkdsk against corrupted volume, the process completes without any error and no modifications are made. This behavior makes your partition inaccessible and puts you in need of Partition Recovery.

Cause

This issue takes place because NTFS partition has a damaged or invalid record in either $LogFile file or in the $UsnJrnl file. Both these files are the internal files of NTFS that are used by NTFS only. Chkdsk doesn’t check the integrity of these files. Chkdsk make sure that only MFT (Master File Table) has entries of these files and the entries are valid.

In such critical situations, the only option to recover your lost Windows partition is to perform Partition Recovery. An organized, absolute and safe Partition Recovery needs a powerful and highly developed Partition Recovery Software.
