While working with the contents of my backup harddrive with Windows Explorer, it became unresponsive and crashed. Now, the contents of that drive are exhibiting preculiar behaviour.
The drive contents are still there, but when I try to access them ...
PDF files ... Adobe Acrobat Reader opens, but the not the file selected. "There was an error opening this document. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."
EXE files .... nothing happens
Folders ... "F:\ ... is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Interestingly, I don't get this error withthe folder I was working in when Explorer crashed, although when I drill down to the actual file level, I get the error.
I did a chkdsk (chkdsk F: /f /r /x) and it did it's thing although it didn't indicate having encountered any problems that prevented it from resolving any found issues. It reported that it was all fixed up.
However, I am still having the same errors accessing this drive\s contents. Please, I hope I didn't lose my babckup data!
Do I have any options to consider to try and recover from this?
