Corrupted file system after CHKDSK
Hi, I need some help!
I have an Acer Aspire 5734Z with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed and ever since I got my computer I've been having trouble starting Windows normally. Like many time before, a week ago my computer started again freezing at the Windows logo every time I put it on. Here's what I tried to do to get things back to normal:
1. I ran CHKDSK /r, and got my computer working.
2. Two days later, I had the same problem. So, I ran CHKDSK /r (found 48 unreadable file segments, deleted 60 index entries, corrected and deleted file names..), but it froze at stage 3 of 5, "verifying indexes", and after 19 hours I shut it down.
2. Still having the same freezing problem, I ran CHKDSK /r once again (found 13 bad clusters..) and I noticed the line "Windows has made corrections to the file system". After the check was complete Windows wouldn't still start.
3. I tried all the different Safe Modes, but got stuck at loading "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\AVGIDSEH.sys" or the file after that.
After several days of CHKDSKs I've somehow been able to log in, but now a pop-up appeared saying: "The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable". I can barely use any programs at all, and those that I can use get errors like "chrome.exe - Corrupt Disk. The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable."
What on earth just happened to my Windows 7?! It feels like Windows/CHKDSK deleted the wrong files or something. Do you have any suggestions how to fix this? I will most likely end up formatting everything and start over fresh (for the 3rd time), but if there is another way, I'd love to hear it!
Thank you in advance!
