I read that In the case the CRC error was thrown by the hard drive, the cause is likely data bing incorrectly written to the hard drive. This can be caused by either the operating system being corrupt, or a power loss. Which in my case was a power loss...the turning off and on computer

How can you forgot you did format it? Did you perform a Partition Wizard "surface check"
already?

(try to) boot normally from the disk. Still acting the same as before? Or do you get "bootmgr is missing" or something alike? If you did format... all files are gone .... even the boot manager (bootmgr) and bootmenu.
