I think this is all getting a bit too difficult for me, i think i will just copy my files to another hard drive and try to format this one.

Thanks so much for your help though!

Okay, crystaldiskinfo highlights that the problem is "Reallocated sectors count" and "Current pending sector count". They are both in yellow (Caution health status).

Any idea what that means? :s

Yes i did!! RebuildBS > Write > Restart = Nothing
I ran chkdks many times but it's not the system that's faulty, it's the boot sector! "CANNOT READ BOOT SECTOR".

How do i fix the boot sector then?

How do i make the boot sectors the same?

I ran RebuildBS, then Write. Restarted my computer. Did chkdsk g: and got the same:
"The type of the file system is FAT32.
Cannot read boot sector."




Nothing works!

I ran RebuildBS and got this (see attachment below).

And yes, i can list all files and it does say that boots are ok and are identical, but they clearly must not be? :s

Should i dump it? Or write?

I ran it and all i got was:
"The type of the file system is FAT32.
Cannot read boot sector."

So it is the boot sector that is the problem. I think making them identical did not quite fix the problem. All i did was orgBS (as previously advised by someone here) but maybe there was something else i ...

But that's the problem, i don't have enough space to back it all up!
I would then need to buy another hard drive to move it all to and then i could just format this one, but i want to see if it's possible to fix it before i have to do that.

Hi,

I accidentally plugged out my external hard drive too soon, without safely disconnecting it first and the next time i plugged it in, i was asked to format it.

I had never partitioned it and just moved lots of files onto it so i could delete them from my laptop.

At first, boot sectors were not ...

I can see all the files in list (and they are all in white font, so still on the drive).
I did OrgBS (so now both sectors are identical) and then chose write and confirmed and then restarted both my computer and hard drive, but nothing.
Still asking to format...and if i double-click on the hard ...

Hi,

I accidentally plugged out my external hard drive before it had finished whatever it was doing and then next time i plugged it in it was asking me to format...

At first i thought all my files had been erased, so i recovered them, only to find that the recovered files were actually the ones i ...
