Windows 10 Disk error “File record segment is unreadable”

This might be the worst situation, where one encounters the risk of losing all its important data in a single act.Some users reported that they are getting such type of errors that make them aware about their hard drive’s failure in advance. “File record segment is unreadable”is one of such errors.On the other hand, it might not give an advance warning in some cases.

 

File record segment is unreadable

If your Windows Computer had started showing any such error, then you should do the following things; 

1) Copy the data of your hard drive into an external one

A good cloning or imaging software as well as a good quality external disk is needed here. When troubleshooting is in process, you can copy the data into external hard drive to protect it from data loss. But for all this, a new hard drive having a sufficient amount of space able to hold all the data and also have some space left for the job to be done later is required. 

2) At the time of Booting, perform a chkdsk scan

Click Win+X, then open Command Prompt from there. Write down the below shown command, then click Enter: “chkdsk /r”

A message prompt, asking your desire to check the disk error on next restart. Click Enter after clicking Y.

The chkdsk scan will be performed by the system, whenever you start your PC for the next time.

There are two chkdsk command line parameters available to help you:

• /f :It will fix the detected errors
• /r :It will identify worse sectors and try to recover the information.
• When /scan not specified /r implies /f. 

3)Attempt the Data Recovery freeware

If the problem is not related to the physical damage of the hard drive, there are some known data recovery software products available to help in recovery of data. They are well and good in case they help to recover the data or else they are worse.

If the tools are helpful in recovery of data, attempt to format the drive and test if it is usable now or not.                                                   

 4) Link the hard drive to a different Computer

Possibilities to save all the data are very less in situation of physical damage of the hard drive.  But then also one can try to make efforts to rescue some files or data either by making use of a hard drive enclosure or by internally connecting the drive.

Try to recover as much data as possible, if after connecting to an external computer you found them easily accessible.

It is best; to previously retrieve as many files as you can and then immediately changing your hard disk, remembering the fact that the Hard drive failure may be destructive and results in worse condition of the unreadable sections of data further.

The “Chromebook” Rival may be Announced by Microsoft

The latest version of “Chromebook” is expected to be announced on 2^nd may 2017, in New York by Microsoft. Both Windows 10 Cloud being rumored from long time and latest hardware are also probable to appear. Windows 10 cloud is supposed to be either free of cost or costs very less. Additionally, it supports the users to access multiple accounts such as Chrome OS and also to manage OS with great ease.

This combo of low-cost hardware and potentially free software will be designed to take on Google's Chromebook's, a low-cost solution that has proved popular in the education realm, thanks to its ease of use and minimal administrative burdens. Microsoft may produce its own hardware or like Google rely on OEM partners.

Microsoft had designed a combination of priceless software and cheap hardware to overtake the Google’s Chromebook, a cheap service that has become famous among entire education empire because of its easy usage and minimum administrative oppress. Microsoft either like Google depends on OEM (the manufacturers who resell another company's product under their own name and branding) or can generate its own hardware.

Folks are also expecting that at the seminar, Microsoft also make visible its range of tools like Office and OneNote that are gaining popularity among students.

This event focuses on education and products beneficial for students. Hence, announcements regarding a latest hardware launch for the phones or pro line-up are not expected by the fans of Surface line. Moreover, introduction of new products in the line-up and the price point of the Surface line make it unable for huge number of students.

You can visit this link to catch the event live. It is expected to start at 9:30 am ET, which will be around 7 pm here in India.

There is also an expectation that Windows 10 Cloud will also come out with some essential and improvised battery life by allowing only the limited number of apps or can say the only apps that are downloaded from the Windows store to be supported and used on the OS, similar to Windows 8 RT which proves to be a failed edition of Windows 8 because it is not having its heritage apps support. The fact that Microsoft has left a large number of users confused as it has not conveyed the differences properly. This proves to be sensible for students but at low price point specially.
