Had my external HDD for like 2 years now
Today I plugged it in and it came with with
"theres a problem with this drive scan here to fix it"
Thought that was strange, clicked on the drive and it came up with the loading bar, I was like
It just sits there and my computer freezes while its plugged in, literly cant do anything, when I un-plug it
"The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"
It still shows up in disk management as healthy and full size there, and its spinning fine, no noise, just as its always been.
Any ideas? tried different USB ports changed the cable....
I cant even run any scans as when I plug it in my computer can't do anything....
