2 TB external HDD CRC errors. CHKDSK stuck for a long time.
I have a 2 TB Seagate external hard drive that I've been using since 2014 (requires wall adaptor for power). It has been running fine for all these years until a few days back.
I backed up 753 Gigs of data (5055 files) from it out of which 10 files could not be copied due to Cyclic Redundancy Errors.
I decided to run CHKDSK to fix the errors, which has been running since yesterday and this is the current state (in the pic).
It has been stuck at 8044 files since this morning, do I abort now or let it run? The hard drive is still spinning and the activity light is blinking.
Should I try a running CHKDSK using CMD instead?
