How to stop chkdsk on an external drive?
Up front: I was wrong to start a chkdsk on an large external drive. Reason was/is, I could not delete an empty folder and some site recommended run chkdsk.
Assuming it would be over and done with, within -say- an hour or so I started it. Much to my regret.
It is says it'll take more than a day now.
Any suggestions as to how to safely stop it.
Some say that probably only a few files might be ruined. It is no problem because I have copies of all files on different other drives, restoring wouldn't be too much problem.
But if the entire drive is completely ruined...
Is there a way to safely stop it, with a minimum on damaged files then?
Thanks.
