I ran the rescue cd and after six hours stopped it. There were some issues, some of which I had fixed. I asked it to delete several infections, all of which were old and minor. I couldn't exit the cd so I ejected it. During the reboot Windows 10 stated that it was repairing my drive. Those files and many many others that were not infected were still in the directories but at zero bytes.
When I tried to copy two files from my two day old backup I was notified that I had insufficient drive space for the second file. This seems strange to me since so many files had been reduced to zero bytes.
Is it possible to repair the disk or do I have to do a format and restore what files I have backed up? And why did this happen?
Thank you.
