So I have a Maxtor External HDD. Straight away, I will say that this piece of rubbish is incredibly buggy and I've had over a million problems with this in the past.
However. The other day, I thought it would be good practise to run chkdsk on the HDD, just to ensure it's integrity, but in the back of my mind I've always been a little wary because I've ended up falling into MORE problems due to chkdsk.
SO THE PROBLEM IS.
I can't access the drive by clicking on it.
The logo doesn't appear.
The label doesn't appear.
However, I can access folders + files if I open a path directly (F:\folderone\) or if I cd.
mkdir ran succesfully, so did rmdir.
Long story short, how can I get this fixed -.-
Thank you!
E: Seems like I can access SOME folders through typing in the path in the run console.
