The scan reported bad sectors or files, suggesting missing paths or names in the corrupted areas. You might need to identify exactly which files are affected. For recovery, using Recuva is a good start, but double-check file locations and names to confirm what’s damaged. Additional tips include checking for hidden files, verifying backup copies, and considering advanced tools if basic recovery fails.
