Recovering or Accessing an External HD with I/O boot error
Last response: in Storage
I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I have a Toshiba 320GB External HD. It was my second backup. My first backup drive was pilfered from my bag and I planned on using The Toshiba to create a new backup.
When I plugged it in it gave me a I/O boot error message. I bought it a little over a month ago from the Geek Squad people at Best Buy, who did the back up. They told me it would cost $1000 to recover from this drive. I almost dropped.
Is there anyway I can get this thing readable again? The drive fires up, but just doesn't read.
Thank you

Try this:
open up the cmd prompt
I haven't had this happen with Win 7 so I'm not sure about that one
older version of windows select RUN from start menu and type cmd
from there type "chkdsk X: /f" no quotes and replace X with whatever drive it is.
It should perform a scan and once complete should work just like new!
