Hey all,
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience dealing with storage problems and need help with my external NTFS-formatted HDD.
After i copied ~400gb using rsync on ubuntu, I am now unable to access the disk. The linux error message is "Operation already pending". On windows 10 it says "Parameter incorrect".
To try and repair it I started chkdsk /F /I /C from windows 10. It found a lot of unreadable segments and progresses very very slowly. It took three days so far and is only at 22% stage 1, 7% overall. It is still working and making progress, but ETA is >900h.
I have two questions:
-How do i most safely abort chkdsk?
Googling told me that this is inhererently dangerous and can damage files further, but continuing seems no option.
-What should my next steps be?
There is some data that I need still on the drive, so I will first try accessing them using the program from the sticky. Afterwards are there tools that you propose to find the error? Is the harddrive completely damaged beyond repair?
Best regards and thank you,
Michael
