My 1TB external drive was recognized but would not open. The message I was receiving was “G: is not accessible. Parameter is incorrect.”
After doing some research I decided to run chkdsk. The first time it failed in Stage 2 with an “unexpected error” message. So, I started chkdsk again and went to bed.
That was 56 hours ago. It has been in Stage 5 since Wednesday morning and it is now Friday afternoon.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Is the disk actually doing something? If so, let it do its thing.
Is there a faster way to connect? Chkdsk is slow even when dealing with internal drives. If you can connect to it over a faster interface, you might have better luck.
