Issue

Windows 7 system logs started recording event ID 55 (NTFS) - The system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume2.

NTFS error 55

\Device\HarddiskVolume2 would normally point to a second partition of the first disk, but how to be sure?

Solution

  • Download WinObj utility from here or from Windows Sysinternals.
  • Launch Winobj.exe and go to GLOBAL section.
  • Sort entries by SimLink, find a device corresponding to the one in your syslog error and check name column for drive letters.
    WinObj from Sysinternals
