I have 4 of these errors, NTFS failed to mount the volume.

Error: {Corrupt File}

The file or directory %hs is corrupt and unreadable.

Please run the Chkdsk utility.

Volume GUID: {xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx}

Volume Name:

Guidance:

The volume is recognized by NTFS but it is corrupted that NTFS could not mount it. Run

CHKDSK /F to fix any errors on this volume, and then try accessing it.

Not sure whats causing it, doesn't tell me the volume, but I only have the one drive

with the recovery partition.

    Hi.

    I would recommend you to check your SSD or Hard Disk HDD with chkdsk.

    1.- First, close all the programs and files that you have open.

    2.- Click with the right mouse button in the Windows Start menu and select Control Panel. Then choose the category System and security. On the next screen, look down Administrative Tools on the right and click on that option.

    3.- One of those tools is the Windows Memory Diagnostic. Double click on it to open it.

    4.- The diagnosis gives two options to choose from. See what each one does and click on the one you prefer:

     Restart now and check if there are problems. It is best to select in most cases. Make sure to close all programs as I have asked before. The PC will reboot on its own when choosing this option. Right after, the check also starts automatically.

    Then check the Hard Disk.

    1. Open an elevated Command Prompt (Press the Windows + X button at the same time, then choose Command Prompt (Admin))
    2. Type the following command, and replace the X with the drive letter you wish to scan: “CHKDSK X:
    3. Hit the enter key, Command Prompt will now start CHKDSK.

    Let us know if these steps help you to resolve the issue.
