My main Lightroom catalog is corrupt. I have tried repairing it, but it fails every time. I have tried restoring from a backup, but that hasn't helped. Could someone from Adobe take a look at my catalog and attempt to repair?

The images for that wedding are on your hard drive someplace. As a last resort, if the catalog can't be repaired, is to start a new catalog or open a recent backup of your original catalog, import those images and re-edit them.
One note though. LR catalogs do NOT become corrupted for no reason. It is a hardware problem that causes it.

re-editing a thousand images is not going to be fun, hence I hope the catalogue can be repaired

Hello, I am also facing the same issue.
After I started my computer new and wanted to go for a normal edit session the catalog didn't open and the message:
"Lightroom encountered problems reading or writing from disk when attempting to repair"
I tried repairing multiple times. I made sure there is disk-space left too.
another catalog could be opened. The backups are some hundred photos ago.
here is my catalog https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihv5nwwoezxye2c/Lightroom%20Catalog-2.lrcat?dl=0
I hope you can repair it somehow too. I would love it.
Thank you so much in advance

Hi Akash
Same problem with my LIghtroom classic catalog.
When I boot it, I get the message:
Lightroom catalog is corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired.
When I click repair, it says that it has problems reading or writing from disk.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but that didn't help.
My computer shows 8.78GB memory.
I saw you sent private messages to others with this problem. Please help me deal with it.
Stay safe,
Jack

Hi Akash,
I am having the same problem. I have a catalog I created last night. It worked great. Today it says it is corrupt and needs to repair, but the repair fails. Since it is a new catalog there is no backup. I worked on it for many hours and client is waiting. Please help!

Hi Akash -
I just had a massive LR catalog crash and now it cannot be repaired. I have 5 years of edits in there. The last time I backed it up was last summer. Is there anyway you can help me recover it?

I too am having this problem. Catalog was on dropbox and worked a few days ago and now nothing after system crash. Too many images and collections to even think about starting over. And being a genius - no backups. Can you please help?
