First i'd like to say this is my first visit to this forum, so Im not certain if this is the right place to make my thread by i'll go ahead anyways.
I turned my PC off last night and everything was fine.
This morning I logged on and my suspicion that something was afoot was sparked by the fact that icons on my desktop no longer had their proper icons.
I went to program files and the error message I got was:
C:\ Program Files is not accessible.
The file or directory is corrupted or unreadable.
I get a notification in the bottom corner of my screem telling me to run Chkdsk utility.
So I do a bit of research into it and try various methods of running the utility i.e command prompt and the more obvious Properties(of C:\)>tools>check for errors.
I realised while trying this that Admin privileges were not working correctly even though it states that I am infact admin of my PC.
In command prompt when I attempted to type in:
chkdsk /c (I believe this is the right command or something similar)
It came back with the error message:
Access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.
You have to invoke this utility in elevated mode.
I looked into this "elevated mode" and another forum stated you must attempt to run the cmd. in administrator mode by right clicking it and selecting Run as administrator.
I attempted this and I get:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
Please ive looked into everything, im not the best with PC's and this is really starting to look bad.
