Exclamation Music folder Corrup
So i guess I should explain when the problem started. A couple days ago I realized my computer had a D:/ drive that was completely free. I decided to move all my music files over to that drive. everything was find for a few days. then today my itunes began freezing everytime i opened it. so i decided to move all the music files back to the C:/ half way through my computer went to the blue screen. after that my music folder wont open it says it is corrupted and unreadable.
i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it. I restored the songs from my ipod into the folder. Nothing has changed.
The songs show up in itunes, but when i click on them they say can not be located, when i press yes to locate it opens the SYSTEM32 file.


im completely stressing out. it wont let me delete the folder for some reason. i dont care if i lose those files they are all on my ipod. I just want to get them to work. Or off of my comptuer because it is taking up alot ALOT of space.


PLEASE HELP ME

Is D: your recovery partition?

Have you run chkdsk /f on both drives to repair the file systems?

Chkdsk is the only thing that will "uncorrupt" a corrupted file system. You could try some recovery software first if you want, but chkdsk is the only tool that will repair the file system. It is possible that the files inside are lost since the transfer was interrupted.

Go to Start > Run, and type:

chkdsk /f

Answer the question "Y" and reboot so it will run on reboot.

For D:, just Start > Run and

chkdsk D: /f

If it says the drive is locked, close all your open programs and use:

chkdsk D: /x
