out of the blue, my external hard drive became inaccessible. Usually it wouldnt even show up in my computer. When it would, it would be assigned a letter, L. When I tried to access it I got "Data Error: CRC"
After looking around I found I should run chkdsk /r /f L: in the command prompt. This halfway worked: I could actually go into my drive and copy most things, but anything in video or picture format wont. it says "Cant read from source file or disk". Interesting enough when i send a shortcut to the desktop it will play.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me.....
Thanks
