'Event ID 55' occurs due to damage in the hard drive partition or its file system

Is your Windows 7 based computer encountering 'Event ID 55' error message? Is the hard drive unreadable and unusable due to corrupt file system structure? This a pure case of data loss, thereby renders your system totally inaccessible. The factors that leads to such a situation can be listed as sluggish operating system, missing/corrupt system data structures, or hard drive logical structure errors. You find such erroneous condition generally in NTFS file system partitions that further results in serious partition loss situations. In such condition, if you have a proper backup, you can recover you data from the backup. But in absence of a proper backup, you need Windows data recovery software to recover the damaged hard drive partition and the lost data.

Such an error in the system is communicated through error messages that read:

“Event Type: Error
Event Source: NTFS
Event ID: 55 
Description:
The file system structure on disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume ”

If you try to solve the problem by running  Chkdsk.exe utility, the process gets interrupted in the half way. This further leads to un-usability of the hard drive resulting in severe data loss.

Causes  of the occurrence of 'Event ID 55' in Microsoft Windows 7:

The above problem may occur if the Windows hard drive partition or its file system is damaged. The following reasons are the prime cause of the corruption:

·         The Windows hard drive has damaged data structures
·         Incomplete Input/Output requests, that are issued by file system to hard disk subsystem

Resolution:

In order to fix this problem, perform the following methods:

·         Type chkntfs at command prompt. If you get another message “drive is dirty”, run chkdsk utility.
·         Try to run the Chkdsk.exe utility manually so as to check integrity and consistency the Windows hard drive
·         If the above processes fails, to make the drive functional you can format it and reinstall the operating system

However, reinstalling the operating system leads to wiping out of the data saved on in it. However, to successfully recover your lost data you can use Windows Recovery software. The application thoroughly scans the entire hard drive and recover lost data from the hard drive.
