A portable hard disc may be a great tool to store and transfer data but you cannot guarantee 100% data security. These devices can falter and become inaccessible at times. There are reasons that may cause the scenario.
Reasons that lead to portable hard drive corruption
· Virus attack
· Accidental fall
· Improper ways of operating
· Unplugging the device without going through the ejecting process
· Error in the file system
· Existence of bad sectors
To avoid any kind of unexpected hard disk corruption error, you must update the hard drive partitions timely, while ensuring that they are free from virus attack and the devices are being accessed properly. But if you are witnessing the error already, what can be done to fix it?
Using the CMD Command
Well, this is the easiest and most preferred option to carry out portable hard drive repair. You simply need to attach the external drive to your computer and open the CMD command prompt. Now, simply type chkdsk g:/f (if the external hard drive is Driver g:), and then click Enter.
This process is effective in repairing the external hard drive while fixing the internal errors of the device. It also makes the data being stored inside the device easily accessible. However, if the problem still persists, you must call for professional help.
