Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.
Posted: 27 May 2017, 13:57
I have an old 320 GB Transcend external hard drive that gives me the "You need to format the disk in drive..." error message when I plug it in. It seems to list the files correctly but when I try to copy them to another location I get the "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged." error even though it lists the partition correctly the first time. What can I do? Thanks!
