Windows 10 not seeing internal HDD
Hi I have a problem after a windows update where evrytime I booted into windows it wanted to check the disk and I had to press any key to cancel, so after searching the internet got this site up https://www.raymond.cc/blog/disable-...ndows-startup/ and used example :
Start -> Run (or Win key+R) -> type cmd and press enter
If you have drive C: as the drive you want exclude, then the command to disable chkdsk from scanning the C: drive would be: chkntfs /x c:
I then read further on and found this:
If you have a second drive to exclude, C: and D: for example, you can disable Check disk with the command below. Simply add all the drives you want to exclude in this way, separating them with a space.
chkntfs /x d: which I duly entered into the CMD and got a message in the CMD this type of file system is NTFS and after that the drive showed up but no information as to size or space used and if I clicked on it I get error message saying cannot access or drive might be faulty.
The reason behind me running the second command ind CMD is because I was not sure how many drives Windows 10 wanted to check thankfully I realised my fault and did not enter any more drives so my remaining drives are accessable.
Is there any way I can reverse this command so as to get my drive accessable again...this drive shows up in the bios at statup and in the device manager even in the drivemanager but no matter what I tried I can not get this drive to be seen and unfortunately it has some important files on them which I need to save...if the above cannot be reversed is there any other means of retrieving my files and saving to a working drive...thanks in advance form a stupid idiot
