all right the other day I came across
this problem with one of my external
hard drives where I get this error
message when I try to open it that the
drive is unreadable and and or corrupted
so I just wanted to show you how to
solve this problem it's really annoying
when it happens there it is right there
so my drive letter is e is not
accessible the file or directory is
corrupted unreadable really annoying
your data is not lost there is
definitely something you can try I've
had to do it before and it looks like
I'm going to have to do it again so let
me show you what I do to fix this click
on OK the first thing we need to do is
open up command prompt so CMD just type
in command and we're going to type in a
pretty simple phrase here but since my
Drive letter is e I'm going to type in
chk dsk and I'm going to do a /f space
and then my drive letter so you can get
your drive letter by just going to my
computer you probably already know this
screen and here is your drive letter and
so that's all you type and what that'll
do is that'll kick you into the check
disk utility and it'll try to fix the
disk so you can see that it's just going
through all of the files and it's
checking them and it's correcting really
any of the problems that it finds
when it's finished you should just see a
screen like this basically it's
completed and it's corrected the file
system successfully so my computer will
refresh and now your drive will then pop
up there is the autoplay and now you can
access the drive and your files
