Directory problems

[Oldmoparguy1]

Need some help. Last fall I installed an SSD in my laptop. So far, it has been problem free. Until now. The drive is partitioned into C: & D: I use the D: partition to save things. I have my banking data, my stock data, The installation files from apps, all sorts stuff I find interesting. I don't install or run any software from this partition.

Lately, I don't know just when it started, I'm seeing files out of place, it the wrong folder, Today, I found severals copies of a folder scattered around in other folders.

It looks as though the directory structure of my D: partition is damaged. Is there any way, any tool that I can use to repair it? It's been several months since I backed up the laptop. This does not look good. I sure could use some experienced help.

Best bet would be to try to backup everything now from both partitions and then wipe and reformat the SSD and reload it all back with new partitions if possible that is. Otherwise I would google and find software than can repair drives.

I'm backing it up, but I was hoping there was a way to repair the directory.

I wonder if my SSD is failing???

It's possible. They have been getting cheaper, so hey, maybe it's time to get a bigger one anyway? Was it an expensive name brand or a cheaper 2nd tier product?
