I partitioned my drive into 2 partitions: partition C for OS, and partition D for my data. I unstalled Vista on C. I have Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, etc on Drive D. Suddenly I'm getting "ERROR 0x80070571: The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable" on partition D. I cannot save anything to that drive. I ran Chkdsk and then was able to back it up using Backup and Restore. I'm thinking of just reformatting that partition. Will that fix the corruption? Then do I restore the files from the backup? Or does this mean that my Hard drive is bad? (I'm using a Toshiba Satellite laptop)

Search for that error on www.microsoft.com

How did you partition it?

I used Acronis Disk Director. Both partitions are NTFS.
