As before, scroll down and replace the "3F" character with the same character as you did above. and enter the sector number from DiskExplorer. Over on the left side of the screen, you'll see the Sector column, which shows which disk sector you're looking at.īack over the diskedit. Several lines down, you should see the filename again W.h.e.r.e.H.a.v.e. Click on the Body node under the $30 node in the Structures tree.

It will show you a list of attributes, one of which will be something like $30. You'll get a screen with a tree thing on the left that says "structures". Now, back in DiskExplorer, click on the Mft# for the bad file. There is another spot to hit (not sure if one or both are needed). Choose Write->It to write it back to disk.

It's in unicode, so you'll be looking for something like "W.h.e.r.e.H.a.v.e.A.l.l.t.h.e.C.o.w.b.o.y.s.G.o.n.e.?.o.g.g." Position your cursor over the bad "3F" character and type something safe, like 5F ('_'). Now use your arrow keys to scroll down to the bad filename. Take that starting cluster number and enter it into diskedit under Read->NTFS Clusters.->Starting Cluster (enter it as a hex number). and specify Volume Name C: (if the file is on your C: drive). When you get there, the top of the window will say something like, "MFT# x12345 DIR: 'dirname'. Navigate to the directory containing your bad file by using the MFT# links. Select Goto->Root Directory to get a directory view. to open the drive containing this bad file.

You ought to be able to load the cluster containing the directory entry for this file and just change the offending '?' character to something innocuous and write it back to disk. The Microsoft tool DISKEDIT.EXE is a low-level tool for directly reading and writing raw disk data. Windows has made corrections to the file system.Ģ1422961 allocation units available on disk.
