I can't access my external hard drive Western Digital element 320GB so i did chkdsk h:(drive letter) it did chek disk.now when i access it says data error(cyclic redundancy check) i have more than 300GB data in it please help to access it
I noticed you ran the chkdsk utility on this drive did you try to repair bad sectors or just files click start control panel administrative tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now start you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive I found that you get best results by ticking one box then returning after it has finished then tick the other box if still no joy hope this helps

4. Check to see if your 1TB USB drive is compatible with your pc.
