Hello, I've been using my trekstor last night putting on 1G worth of information on it. Today I turned it on finding that it is showing on My Computer as a Local Disk but won't identify it as itself properly. I go to click on it making sure my information is still on it but it says it is not accessible, "Error performing inpage operation."
Please and thank you for helping.
This is probably a bad sector on your hard disk. Connect it up and try this:
1. Start > Run > type in cmd then click OK to get a command prompt.
2. Type in chkdsk e: /r (replace e: with the drive letter of your external hard drive).
Hi Mango time. Phase 5 is the checking of the free or empty space on the hard drive. If it is failing to test then that tells me that one or more sectors are corrupt. The infinite time delay is chkdsk trying to map this/ese sectors out of the file table - without success it would seem. It may be possible to extract any data if you put in a pc as a non booting one (2nd drive or external). Another option worth a try is to Ghost the drive but only backing up data, not free space.
Other data recovery programs may also be able to extract data to another drive. You might have to try a number of them.
Good luck.

Hey thanks for trying to help me by suggesting that idea, ozserviceman. But when I tried it everything went fine until the process reached phase 5. It would just say 0 percent complete and not bother going any where. I tried clicking the 'x' button after waiting 2 hours and it said an error had occured so i just pressed "Don't Send". I tried the exact same thing a second time and the results were identicle.
If you could or anyone think up an idea to this it would be appreciated.
