FINDSTR: Cannot open Davis\Desktop\sfc.txt

I get this error when using the latter command

Go ahead and download SeaTools for Windows.

Install it and run it. You’ll be greeted with a drive list. Go ahead and select the drive and go to Basic Tests > Short Drive Self Test. If it passes, move on to Short Generic. If that passes, run Long Generic. Note that Long Generic will take an hour or so, so run it overnight.

when I run the program, I get a ‘bad data’ error. It allows the program to start if I click continue on the error message, though no drives are listed after it starts. I clicked rescan, and the program stops responding a couple of minutes after it begins scanning for drives.

When I went back to redownload and try again, I noticed that the list of compatible OSs only lists up to windows 8, not 10. Might that be causing a problem?

[jmarket]

No it’s compatible with 10. I use it day to day at work.

If it’s doing that bad data error, it means the drive is dying or the OS is severely corrupt.

[VidgamerX]

Well, that’s certainly not good. Though, if the OS is corrupted, could that be fixed by reinstalling windows 10? That would certainly be easier than moving my data to a new drive which I would have to buy, if the one I’ve got is circling the drain.

[jmarket]

You can definitely do a re-install for sure. I think that might solve your issues

[jmarket]

Do you have any updates for me @VidgamerX?

[VidgamerX]

Just finished reinstalling windows 10. first the bad news.
My power went out while it was installing, which corrupted the installation progress. The only way I was able to fix the problem was by formatting my hard drive, so I literally lost everything…I’m still really ****** about that.

The good news? The installation after the format went smoothly.

Now, over the next month or two, I’ll be searching for all the programs/files I lost to redownload them.

It seems to be working fine now, but I did just now finish with the install, so if my problem is still there, it may happen today or a few days from now. But seeing as how I ended up wiping my drive clean, I really hope the issue is gone. So at this point, I’m assuming the problem is gone. And if the problem continues after wiping the slate clean, I’ll assume that the hard drive itself is causing it.

[jmarket]

Correct

I hope the re-install solves your issue. If not, it will unfortunately be the drive itself.

Any updates for us @VidgamerX? It’s been a week

[VidgamerX]

My computer just had another random BSOD.

[jmarket]

Are you able to upload the dump file so I can take a look at it by any chance?

[VidgamerX]

here ya go!
