My external hard drive just went full retard on me and now I can't access the disk and it gave me a couple errors when trying to open it in multiple occasion, the first one said I need to format the disk to be able to use it which I dont want to do, the second error it gave me was something like "The Parameter is incorrect" and the third one showed me this error "data error (cyclic redundancy check)".
I have tried shutting both my PC and HDD, using a my laptop to check if my OS was at fault, I did the 'chkdsk G: /r' in the cmd. Which run fine for the first 10 hours then froze at stage 4 at 12 percent complete with 284205 of 284400 processed, it was stuck on this for 3 hours and decided to close it. Should I let it continue? 3 hours in the same number seems like its stuck.
The other one that seemed to work was the program called 'Find and Mount' I was able to access my files in the HDD but the one folder I need to access said something about it being corrupt, I also cant transfer my data from the HDD since its a 1.5TB HDD cause I dont have room for it nor do I have the funds to buy a new one. I also dont know what to do after mounting HDD.
Is there a way to fix this to how it was? I have over 400GB+ of steam games in this HDD and all my films, videos, anime and torrents.
