Hello,

My first problem is that i run powershell with admin rights and ran chkdsk f: /f /r . I thought it would restart pc after that but no, just started running chkdsk until now, so i could access the disk. Now, after about 3 hours total progress is 0%, but in phase 2, is this normal? should i wait? HD is not SSD and with 3.63TB capacity. I made chkdsk previously with CMD and didnt take so long, maybe is slower cause didnt boot windows?

Another problem is that the hard drive which made the windows boot was hit and cant be recovered. I had a SSD with the old windows partition, but dont know why needed this other hard drive to boot, i couldnt start Windows so i saw in the internet that could use bootrec /fixmbr, then bootrec /fixboot and then bootrec /rebuildcbd but that just made it worse. After making a clean install in other SSD i see the old windows partition in the other SSD shows my partition with all the data as EFI dont know why and cant access it, i tried to assign it a letter but gives me access denied

    I opened Disk Manager in windows and tells me the partition type is "not applicable" instead telling me if it is MBR or GPT and unassigned space seems almost the whole space of the disk

    I am trying Disk Genius which let to check the physical sectors and repair them, but also is really slow, just around 500 sectors of 500000 in one night, all damaged. Yes seems i will have to send it to proffesionals, thanks for you help.

    Now my SSDs start to operate slow, i am trying to just create a new folder and takes several seconds to do the operation and to delete the folder stay stuck at 99% without deleting, i think i must have a virus but dont know how it is infecting everything, i had a few files i copied from the first drive which was faulty which i got to copy in both SSD, probably there is a virus in those files that is affecting my SSD? Windows anti virus can do anything or would need another antivirus and there is anyone good free?

    sorry but such attempts may bring a drive to a totally unrecoverable state. If you need a data, ask a help from data recovery company thou it is expensive.
