Hello. I've just moved and brought my HDDs on my handbag with me, to make sure they wouldn't be shuffled around as the luggage being handled by the airport throwers.

One of my HDDs though is not working properly. First it wasn't being detected. Then I got a new sata cable and plugged it in a different SATA port.
It is now detected, showing as Local Disk E: (instead of Data, which is it's name) and can't be accessed. If I look at it using Active@ Disk Editor it's all there. It's name, files and folders. I ran chkdsk on CMD and I got this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk E: /R /F
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Data.

Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ...
35840 file records processed.
File verification completed.
2074 large file records processed.
0 bad file records processed.

Stage 2: Examining file name linkage ...
Correcting error in index $I30 for file 1B0.
CHKDSK discovered free space marked as allocated in the bitmap for index $I30 for file 1B0.
Sorting index $I30 in file 1B0.
A disk read error occurredc0000185

If I click on it on File Explorer tho I get a message:

E:\ is not accessible.

The parameter is incorrect.



What should I do? Thanks!!!


EDIT: In the interest of full disclosure: I was missing a few cables from my modular PSU. So, in fact, I was only using 2 of my SSDs and one HDD. I have 2 more HDDs. I used it for around 2 weeks. Today I got the cables, tried plugging everything in (as it was before moving) and I got this issue.

"...it is described there as RAW, instead of NTFS..."
This might be from out deep in left field, however, MiniTool Partition manager version 9, or, anything similar in power and depth, might be needed to "bring back" the missing partition containing your data folders and files. Have external media nearby so that any file or files can be immediately recovered onto such external media.
