Was a brand new address transfer some bitcoins in it and the next day I got a message while trying to open it "wallet.dat corrupt, salvage failed" I've tried using pywallet and it just tells me "couldn't open wallet.dat/main. try quitting bitcoin and running this again." Tried restarting.

good practice is to use pywallet and extract all private keys before placing anything in the wallet addresses.....regualr updates for change addresses
