"E:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect"results when the access drive E:\. Disk Management displays not filesystem and 100% free space

My drive E:\ was more accessible, even if windows sees it again. I tried to run a chkdsk/r on it and it fixed a bunch of indexing errors, but then got stuck on the 4th check for about 20 hours (it is a 100 GB drive, so I understand that it will take some time, but it's never got around 50% all the time, so I don't think it was anything and I stopped it). I looked at the drive with EnCase by Guidance Software and the directory structure seems to be there, but even when I go through the files there are some files that are not present not that I am sure were there before this event happened. I wonder what might have happened and what I might be able to do on the recovery my files on this disc. I was thinking about the table partitions may have been messed up somehow, but I never really met something like this to know what to do to fix it. In the worst case scenario, I can get another hard drive to transfer files to, but I was hoping there would be a way to just restore it. I can't really afford to lose the data, so if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Hello DileepHL,

Thank you for your message.  You are able to access this disk on another computer?  If this isn't the case, it is possible that your drive has failed.  Unfortunately, in this case, you must either take the drive to a data recovery specialist or other means to recover your data.  Another option is 3rd party recovery software, you can search it on bing.com or your favorite internet search engine.
See you soon

    Hi abgolf3,

    The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

    Mark a partition as active

  • Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

    OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

    My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

    The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

    I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

    After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.

  • To install the new eSATA / SATA to USB 2.0 hard drive in an external enclosure but the computer does not recognize the drive in disk management

    I have an old computer with installed Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and 3.  I bought a new hard drive and also a new external hard drive for her case.  I have correctly installed the hard drive inside the enclosure, and I think that I have installed correctly (in the motherboard SATA port) eSATA port, according to the manufacturer's instructions.  I plugged everything... first eSATA, then power and power switch.  I restarted the computer, and I chose to analyze disks in disk management.  However, the new drive is not recognized.  The SATA port on the motherboard could not work or did I buy the bad, perhaps, hard drive enclosure for my system?  Or something related to the software?  Thank you.

    Hi Donnadream,

    Connect the hard drive to another port and check if that makes a difference

    Step 1: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below, which deals with a similar question

  • Have a computer dell laptop. replaced the hard drive; tried to install my Windows XP and my product key is not accepted. I was wondering why and how do to accomplish this task.

    My dell laptop had the hard drive replaced.  My son, who knows computers, installed the new hard drive.  Then he tried to install my Windows XP Professional software - when it came time to put the product key #, it was not accepted.  It's authentic.  The product key is: * removed *.

    There no mention of this issue in section outages or other information provided in the booklet provided.  Can you help me with this problem?

    The license key and product type must match (XP Home vs XP Pro;)  (and OEM license vs the retail license).  If it's a Dell computer and you get the product key from a sticker on the case, then there is likely a version of Windows XP OEM this product key.  If you install Windows XP from a retail installation disk, then the types of licenses will not match.  You will need to use the license that accompanies the retail installation disc or you will need to contact Dell for an OEM installation disc to go with the license on your sticker case.

  • Not able to create the new partition in disk management.

    I tried to create another partition on my computer running Windows XP, but when I go to disk management, it doesn't let me do anything when I right click on a partition. I can't make a new (tried with cmd and disk management) and I can't change the current criteria. Is there an option somewhere that prevents you from changing or something? Almost many of the options are grayed out and I can't make a new partition. How can I fix? I want to make another partition.

    Hello

    Sometimes, a 'new' disk is not picked up by Windows. EaseUS Partition Master is a program that I found a workaround, download here: http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Master-Free-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html?tag=mncol;1 .

    Once installed, it should recognize your drive and allow you to repartition / reformat to use with Windows 7.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

    I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

    The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

    If this is true, how should I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
    The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

    But back to your question;
    If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
    The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

    If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

    I hope I could help

    Good bye

  • How to free space on the hard drive recovery disk?

    My J: drive (recovery) is near capacity after a reinstall of Windows 7. How to clear space on this drive?

    Hi John R H,
     
    The purpose of the training of recovery is to store all the files needed to do disaster recovery, when the system becomes unstable. The recovery disk is actually a partition on the hard drive of your computer - not a real physical disk. There is much less space than other drives. If you use the recovery disk to store files (such as backup files), the reader is full quickly and can cause serious problems when you need to use the system recovery.
    Note: Do not store files on the recovery drive. The only files on the recovery disk should be linked to a system recovery.
