      @@slickityragnarthegreat Actually the backup should only contain data e.g game data(save game), key code, reg. code, personal data, etc. Others (programs. games etc) can usually be redownloaded. I have dl thousands of movies and series over the years but i don't even watch 1/10 of them and the same also for the game i've download, I play only a few. In the end it just taking up spaces. Recently I delete tons of movie! Why? Because I found the movie I kept was only 480p or 720p while even youtube quality is better the mine. same as game quality where last time we play seem fine but now we find it patchy and crude.

    - this is the disk is giving an error, but the disk is not even showing, so how can i type for example "d:/r/d" if D doesnt even exists?
    It says 'invalid parameter - /d

      如果你的是外置固态硬盘可以试试我的
      拔下了电脑主机原有的固态硬盘,开机BIOS能正确找到它,手能感受到它风扇正常转动,就关机,更换正常的固态硬盘测试过它的外置硬盘盒,无反应,就更换新的外置固态硬盘盒。
      我的更换后就好了,初步推测是原插口供电不足或已经损坏,因为我尝试过另外两个1T和2T的硬盘,1T的正常,2T需要更换插口。

    *chkdsk* is designed to check and repair issues on already formatted and initialized disks. For an uninitialized disk, you need to initialize and format it first using tools like Disk Management in Windows or diskpart command before running chkdsk.

      Hi! The drive is a part of the disk, for example, Disk 0 can be separated by C Drive and D Drive, even more you can also create a E drive for the rest of space in Disk 0, if there is an unallocated space. (My C drive is in Disk 1 though) I suppose Drive F is the removable disk, so you may recognize Drive F by checking whether the Drive F space is same as Disk 1 or 2 or 3 blablabla. And furthermore, inside the each Disk bar, there should be some letters.😃

      2. Remove Write Protection on the Hard Disk
      Open up your start menu and click "Run"
      Type regedit in the box.
      Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
      Click the "WriteProtect" key and change the value to 0.
