Last time I used my computer, it ran out of battery and turned off while I was working.
Now when I restart it and try to start my web browser, it reports that files were corrupted.
I cannot reinstall the browser or delete any of the corrupted folders.

I have also tried the Windows CHKDISK utility, but it fails to run or fix the errors.

Is there any possible way to repair corrupted files and directories?

Which web browser are you using? – Randolf Richardson Nov 6 '11 at 1:09
It's chkdsk :) What did it say when it failed to run? – techie007 Nov 6 '11 at 4:42
Firefox and opera both refused to start with error: ApplicationData/Opera/ corrupted. I couldn't delete the directories either. – cpx Nov 6 '11 at 6:15
@techie007: I ran chkdsk on C:\ from right click > properties > tools > check now it fails at phase 1 with error: couldn't complete operation. – cpx Nov 6 '11 at 6:26
What was the exact error it gave you? What does chkdsk do when you run it in Safe Mode, or from the Recovery Console? – techie007 Nov 6 '11 at 6:30
