• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I've noticed over the last couple of days that some of my files aren't working correctly. I have psd's that I created just a couple of weeks ago that now won't open. I have jpg's that won't display the picture in acdsee or photoshop, although thumbnails will show in windows explorer and photoshop's thumbnail viewer. I have video files that don't play completely, even thought the file download was completed.
I haven't noticed any physical hard drive issues (clunking, whirring, etc...) and I reformatted thinking that something could have gotten screwed up with windows. I've also tried copying the files to other directories hoping that maybe it was just a bad sector or something. If the file was broken before it was also after.
Unfortunately, I don't have any type of raid installed, but I'm wondering if that would even help in an instance like this. If a file gets corrupted, then wouldn't the corrupted file just get replicated, causing 2+ corrupted files? Would there be any way to get this resolved?

It really depends on wat is going on. Run a chkdisk and go to the manufacturers website and get their disk tools. Run those tests and see if you can find the problem.
 
I ran seagate's diagnostics and it showed critical errors.
Bah.
