Windows was unable to save all the data for the file: D:\$Mft The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

I turned on the computer and got that error. I restarted no problems. Turned off came back later turned on and tried to back up a DVD and got the error. I then deleted the folder and got the error again only this time the file was a system restore point. A little background. This Shuttle has issues. I had a SATA drive in it, the Shuttle wouldn't see it so I plugged it into another SATA port and it was fine. a few months later same thing, same resolution. Eventually the HDD died. This is a new drive and I had to change SATA ports once already cause the computer didn't see it. Now I am getting the above error. Nothing new has been installed recently. No hardware or software.

In Computer Management (under Administrator Tools) the drive status is Online (Errors)

It also says Healthy (At Risk)


Glee!!
 
Sounds like writing to the drive failed (hardware problem). Have you tried running a chkdsk ?
 
Run CHKDSK /r and see if it finds any errors.

But first i'd make sure all the data cable connections are secure and possibly move it onto another power connector.
 
My hard drive did that right before it shot itself in the face... Your milage may vary, but I would recommend making sure your backups are up to date.

EDIT: I just read your post again. The $ sign means that wherever it was trying to write is hidden by the operating system, and the "MFT" makes me think "master file table"... I would emphasize again--back up your stuff.
 
I got that error all the time when I put in 2 new WDs...turned out to be the cable that causing bad shit to happen. I'd delete a file, and 5 mins later, it'd tell me that it couldn't delete the file or whatnot. Replace the ATA cable with one that you know works, and it should go away.
