"Disk structure corrupted and unreadable"

[wolfie138]

Hi all,

booted up tonight on my Win10 machine, got a message saying "press any key to skip disk check", long story short one of my drive partitions [G] is giving me the "disk structure is corrupt and unreadable". i have two drive in my machine, SSDs, one for the C drive and this one split into E, F and G drives. E and F are fine, it seems.
a bit googling suggested i run chkdsk in various forms, but i get the exact error code above. another site suggested downloading Minitool Partition wizard, i followed the instructions at Quickly Fix - The Disk Structure Is Corrupted and Unreadable and all the thing seems to do is run chkdsk :-/ i ran first in scan only mode and it did a percent or so then said it couldn't continue in read only mode, so i selected the fix option and it just immediately came up w/ that error code and nothing else, no message or suggestions how to continue.

any help would be appreciated, if this partition totally dead now?
Disk Management show the drive correctly lettered but says it's RAW and 100% free, healthy primary partition. chkdsk shows it as NTFS

TIA

Use CHKDSK /r switch, the /f switch is implied, meaning that chkdsk will scan for both logical errors and bad sectors and will automatically fix them. This will take some time as it checks every block on the disk, but if it finds any bad sectors on the disk it will mark them unusable. If this fails then try using Partition Magic to see if its a partition corruption but I this the CHKDSK /r should sort it.
