My internal HDD has been working fine for quite a while now, and just today when i started up my PC it was listed in the My computer section, but when I opened it is showed no files, but said it still had like 42GB of 931GB, indicating the files were still there...
So I turned off my PC, unplugged the power cable and held down the power button for 15 secs and then I changed the SATA port to where that HDD connects to. I then booted up my PC and the files were all there! But, for some reason when i tried to open anything it said that windows cannot locate the file...
I did chkdsk /r on the drive and it showed as RAW. I searched around and found a program called testdisk but when I try to analyse the disk through that program it sais Partition: Read error.
Just to clarify: I am running windows 10 on a 64bit operation system. I owned the HDD for around 2 years now and have had problems similar to this is the past, but it always just resolved itself. But now its just not working. Can anyone help please!
Thanks in advance.
