"Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged" Options after Rebuild BS
Posted: 15 Apr 2021, 02:24
Hello, my secondary internal hard drive stopped working suddenly today. I was able to grab all the files I needed from the harddrive without much difficulty but when I tried to reboot Windows to run chkdsk it could no longer recognise the drive. I've been getting the "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged." error on the Drive from Quick Search>List files, although it does at least recognize the one partition of the drive. Based on internet research I figured the next thing to do was run Rebuild BS (both the Boot Sector and Backup boot sector were OK, but it still says "A valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable"). I left it running for a few hours, but it did not seem to make any difference. I've attached the log here;
Is there anything else I can do to try and salvage the drive? PhotoRec grabbed a lot of stuff after the reboot so perhaps it isn't entirely a lost cause. Based on the end of the log it might seem like the right idea is to run Repair MFT but I'm not quite confident enough in that assumption to know for sure.
