Thank you for this video 🙏🏽 my mom passed away yesterday and I had to recover my usb with photos on it. I’m crying I’m so happy that it worked. Bless you!!
I cannot thank you enough for this method, you have saved me. After weeks for not being to get back data back and access my hardrive, you helped though this. I hope doors open up in your life.
Took about 18 hours but it worked thank you!!! For anyone panicking if it gets stuck, mine stayed on the same percentage for about 6 hours but eventually progressed, depending on how big your files are it can just take longer :)
Hi Britec09, your post saved my 8TB drive! Than you. I had about 800gb of music files and some other data and used your tutorial. The chkdsk repair took about 18hours, I assume do to the size of the external drive (8tb), glad I didnt end it as the actual master boot record fixes seemed to be executed at the very last minute. Again thanks! BTW, I looked at 2 other videos before finding yours, and your tutorial is the clearest and most complete.
Just bought a new flash drive and just put in about 25gb of files. How long do you reckon it'll take? Been about 10 mins and still at 0% and I need to submit the files..Ugh
Nice! but unfortunetly didnt work in my case, it appears "the type of the file systen is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives" Any thoughts? Thank you!
My one partisan of Hard-drive became 'not accessible'. I had used CMD command as described in this video and all processes and stages were completed but still same problem existed. On next day when I power on my computer, it goes through all the processes by itself during booting. After my computer started up, I opened 'MY COMPUTER' and found my concerned drive fully accessible. My problem was solved. Thanks for your valuable information.
Thank you Bri, this worked like a dream on my WD Passport external drive. PC was showing the drive as RAW, but I followed your instructions and left it overnight to run. All fixed by the morning, brilliant 👍
@@thevixxstudios so just wait for 3-4 hours or more. In my case it is 83696 because it is the partition only having 530 gb and it is completed in 1.76 hours

Using CHKDSK /f works for disks that only show up as "Local Drive" So for example, if the disk with the problem is only showing up as "Local Disk (E:)", then open a command window (You need to be logged in as an administrator). Then type "CHKDSK E: /f" (the fix is for 'fix'. It won't format anything). Once CHKDSK is finished, your drive should show up normally.
why my cmd is, Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode. what can i do? please help
Had a 4tb hard drive with many photo folders that had the exact issue as in your video. Followed your instructions, it took about 2.5 hrs to go through all the stages. Afterwards the drive did open, however many of the folders were deleted & the folders remaining were emptied out, I lost everything. I'm sure it does work most of the time, however depending on your drive issues you might not always get a positive outcome.
Hi i tried until command prompt and keyed in the command chkdsk /r e: and it shown "the type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives. Whst can i do next? Thks
@@kelly1st I followed what the video said but also applied the method to another folder I will have to back track to find out exactly what I did.

I'll definitely get back to you about where I applied the fix.
I am watching so many videos and still having problems with my hard disk But When I watched your video I solved the problems. Honestly man thank you so much. Watching Somalia 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴 2022.

Thanks Brian, another excellent video. !! 👍 However it did not resolve my issue. When I ran the syntax from the CMD line for my external 2.5” internal drive slaved out USB I received the error: “Cannot open volume for direct access.” Not only that but following your previous step before the CMD line, I am also “Not,” able to read/recognize the drive in its raw form. I’ve been battling this issue for quite some time now. I go from either, “disc is not initialized,” to “cannot initialize due to fatal hardware device error.” I’m about out of options here. The disk that I’m trying to access and recover data from was the former “primary drive,” from one of my other laptops. It has data that I need to recover, but cannot mount the volume for some reason.

Thanks so much for this video. I have many external drives and first time I ever experienced this! It was a new drive that I'd transferred some files over to, then I had this same problem accessing the drive afterwards. Had no clue as to what was going on till I googled and found your video here. I had formatted it beforehand so not sure what caused it? The only issue (ha) was that it's a 2TB drive so it took like 8-hours or so to complete step #5 (verifying the free space). I started to stop that step, but then decided to just let it run. When complete, it worked perfect as you described. THANKS AGAIN for your help!!
Hey Britec, when i try to access my drive like clicking on it tells me it needs to be formatted, i checked disk managment, it shows its in raw.. when i tried to do the chkdsk /r (drive letter) it says :The type of the file system is NTFS.

In your Disk Management window, it says "Disk 2: Healthy (Active, Primary Partition)". Mine labels it "Disk 1" but doesn't give the status. It doesn't say healthy or raw or anything.
Thank you so much... It helped me... I am totally got stressed wen I saw that access denied... Now I am totally happy and stress free... Thanks again 👍
Hello Britec09, just asking if there is a way to specifically choose which type of file to recover or folder only? I got a 1TB External Drive corrupted becoming not accessible like in 1:19. Since i have a lot of useless files and movies. my computer does not have enough space to take all files to recover. So i needed a new option.

1. The drive showed in windows. The drive letter showed, but absolutely no information.
2. Running chkdsk /f and /r in win11 could do nothing. The message was that there was not enough free space to replace bad clusters.
3. I ran chkdsk in windows XP. That began to work. I ran chkdsk /f many times, until it showed it had done no more fixes.
4. Still in XP. I ran chkdsk /r and went to bed. Next morning it had finished. It had replaced many bad clusters. The drive was still inaccessible though. But the drive properties tab showed information of used and free space.
5. And still in XP. I ran chkdsk /f. It fixed some more stuff. Again I ran chkdsk /f until no more fixes showed. Still windows could not access the drive.
6. I booted into Ubuntu Linux. Hooray. The contents showed.
7. In Ubuntu I was able to copy and paste to another drive. Ubuntu had difficulties copying long paths, though. I had to manually create the folder and subfolder stucture to the new drive first. Then I could copy files from folder to folder. It took me a day to manually do this. Many files are OK. Some are broken but the file consistency is fixed. The folder and file names are most important. Knowing the names I can hunt them from backups and the internet.

Hello Britec09, just asking if there is a way to specifically choose which type of file to recover or folder only?
I got a 1TB External Drive corrupted becoming not accessible like in 1:19. Since i have a lot of useless files and movies. my computer does not have enough space to take all files to recover. So i needed a new option.
Thank you so much! I am currently working in a ship and no where else to ask for assistance to recover and access my ssd now. But from your vid. It was a big help to me. Thank you so much, God bless to your channel and to u. Thank you!
It says cannot open volume for direct access
Thank you !!!
A solution that doesn't require formatting the drive
Its saying Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.
sameeee
5 mins...and its still cleaning its self
thanks
Sir , i do the same thing in command prompt ,,but answer is ( this type of the file system is raw. CHKDSK is not available for raw drives. )
