I think a bad cut/paste has somehow resulted in 1MB of unallocated space at the beginning of a storage drive preventing it from being accessed correctly.
"The request could not be performed because of an "I/O" device error."
Last night I went to cut/paste a movie file and ended up cancelling the operation because it took abnormally long and couldn't hear the drive spinning up.....
In computer management there's a new 1MB of unallocated space. The rest of the drive is all there, reading healthy and with the correct partitions.
I can open the drive in My Computer and see the file structure, but opening a folder results in the error.
In elevated CMD I can't run CHKDSK /F /R. It results in "The type of the file system is RAW."
/sfc scannow tells me that there is corrupted data, but it can't be recovered. If it's directly related to the 1MB of space is unknown as of right now.
Have tried assigning a new simple volume, but the action doesn't follow through - the process can't be started and the option can't be clicked (although it is highlighted).
HOW in the world do I remove/combine the 1MB of space so I can access the rest of the drive? Preferably without moving all 931GB of files and cleaning the drive completely.
