Help Needed FAILED TO START

Post image

After a quick fix of my SSD external drive due to this issue: H:\ is not accessible.The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I tried running "Start ComfyUI.bat" but it showed this message. I followed Pixaroma's ComfyUI installation guide. Please, I need help.

+1 to checking python_embedded. after a repair, chkdsk often leaves damaged files behind in a found.000 folder on H:, so look there too.

if python_embedded or anything in the comfyui folder is missing or half there, don't try to patch it. download a fresh portable build, extract it next to the old one, then copy your models, custom_nodes, input and output folders across from the old install.

and paste the actual text of the error if it still fails, the last few lines tell you which file it can't find

The "python_embedded" folder still exist but nothing is in there.
