Sometimes, loss of even a single file or folder can result in serious damages. File loss can happen due to numerous reasons, such as, improper system shutdown, software corruption, virus infection, etc. To recover the lost files, the user needs to use effective File Recovery Software.

As a practical example, when a user attempts to open, delete or rename a folder or file using File Manager, Command Prompt or Windows Explorer, he/she encounters the bellow error message:

“/drive/:/folder/ is not accessible The file or directory is corrupt and non-readable.The file or directory is corrupt and non-readable. The file or directory /folder/ is corrupt and unreadable. Please Run the Chkdsk utility.”

The above error message occurs because the File Allocation Table (FAT) has been damaged. To perform File Recovery and execute the files, the user can use an in-built utility named Check Disk (CHKDSK). This utility enables the user to fix the file system errors. To use this utility, the user needs to follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type chkdsk /f /drive/:, where /drive/ is the letter of the drive on which the damaged file, folder or file system index exists.

3. Click OK.

However, there is a possibility that the CHKDSK utility does not repairs all the required files and folders. In that case, the user needs to use third party application named File Recovery Software.
