If you need me to run any other test I'll be glad to, the past few days have been a nightmare for me.– user34853Commented Mar 9, 2014 at 12:09

First impression: Your harddisk has bad sectors and has not automatically reallocated them to spare sectors. [Some of ]these bad sectors happen to be on a place on the disk needed by your windows installation. You can confirm or deny this by reading the SMART parameters. (Plenty of posts here on Super User explaining that part).– HennesCommented Mar 9, 2014 at 12:20

I will try it and let you know, however, if I understood what testdisk does correctly, when running it, no bad sectors were found.– user34853Commented Mar 9, 2014 at 12:22

Small side note: sda4 is an extended partition. it contains sda5 and sda6. No need to run ntfsfix on that since an extended partition will (should) never contain a NTFS filesystem. Instead it will have other partitions in it (in your case recognized as sda5 and sda6).– HennesCommented Mar 9, 2014 at 12:23

Re testdisk. I agree, I would not expect that to returns that everything is ok. Yet the symptoms you have match perfectly with disk errors and lots of 'reallocation pending' and reallocated sectors.– HennesCommented Mar 9, 2014 at 12:26

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
