since you have now run chkdsk c: /R
then please run this script and attach the file placed on your desktop to your next post (along with the three missing .txt files).

Script:

# Places CHKDSKLOGS.txt on your DESKTOP
# Results of running chkdsk (check disk) are in ChkDskLogs.txt
# ************************************************************

where {($_.providername -ne 'Microsoft-Windows-LoadPerf') -and ($_.providername -ne 'Windows Error Reporting')} |
sort-object -property timecreated -desc 
If ($events -eq $Null) {$events = "No check disk logs exist." } ELSE {
