i did replace with directory and it didn't work. I was downloading eclipse (from main eclipse website) when I went and came again after 20 minutes, the screen was blank. I restarted the PC. Everything looked fine till I launched update manager and the problem became evident.
I live in Chennai, India where power cuts are have become common. My computer had cold shutdown many times and once I had to manually recover using fsck because disk check failed. This could have contributed to to the flaw.
