Corrupted PDN? Freezes PC for 20min before aborting

When trying to open a specific PDN, the whole PC freezes (impossibility to access the Task Manager, to kill it, or anything else really) before aborting with this Error.

 

I'm using the latest version of Paint.NET.

 

Hopefully this report is useful and something can be done about it.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

EDIT: It seems to me opening any PDN takes slower than usual but they eventually open, unlike that specific one.

Sounds like you need to run chkdsk in Windows to repair your disk.

[JeromeJ]

Windows is on `C:` but I didn't run `chkdsk` on it (cancelled it, took too long).

Paint.NET is on `D:`, `chkdsk` didn't find any problem.

My "corrupted" `.pdn` is on `E:`and `chkdsk` didn't find any problem neither.

 

(Should I run it on `C:` as well?)

[toe_head2001]

Have you tried copying the file onto one of your other drives, and then opening the copy?

 

I would also recommend trying to open the file while in Windows Safe Mode...  Just in case you have some sort of overzealous "security" software doing some low-level disk sandboxing or the like.

Probably won't make a difference if it's a separate disk. Or is it just a separate partition on the same disk?
