It's hard for me to classify the problem as I don't know whether its software or hardware problem, so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
I have had my windows 10 installed on an external drive, and it worked ok. The problem occurred when one day my phone fell down directly onto the usb port (probably disconnecting it) of the external drive during usage. Then the system crashed, and I wasn't able to use that system since. At first it loaded for a very long time to then show me stop code 'critical process died', then I tried to repair the disk using disk cleanup and chkdsk on my other system (win 7), but it didn't help. Is there a way to fix the problem without formatting the disk/losing all the data?
