Hi,
My External HDD is throwing CRC error and I am unable to fix it.
When I connect the drive to my Laptop the following is happening:
-it just shows the drive as Local Disk (A
but it does not display the bar which shows the number of GB free.
-I am unable to right click on the drive to check its properties.
-Every time I click on the drive it tries to load and finally throws CRC error.
I have also tried connecting it to a different laptop and its the same. However I am ABLE to access most of my data (Photos/Movies) when I connect it to my LG television.
I have tried the below and so far no luck:
-I tried changing the drive letter
-I ran the chkdsk A: and this is the log I got:

The master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute is incorrect.
The Volume Bitmap is incorrect.

Please run chkdsk /scan to find the problems and queue them for repair.

Kindly help me resolve this. I have my son's 1st year pics and videos in it and I can't afford to loose them at any cost. Also I am hesitant to shell hundreds of dollars to recover the data.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
