My Window's system file was broken so I had to repair it.... but now a lot of my files are corrupted

...I think all my important files are ok through...I hope...

Run Windows chkdsk to see if it finds anything... Check Maxtor's website for their drive diagnostic program. If neither find a problem then it was just something random that corrupted the file.

Chkdsk should find any bad sectors.

Does the drive ever make weird sounds when searching, like "click-tik-click-tik-click-tik" over and over? If so you may have a damaged area(s) in the drive.
