How to repair external hard drive that has errors that need repairing

Hello,
I scanned my 2 TB external hard drive and it was found to have errors. The box said errors were found and to close the box and repair them. It doesn't say how to do this. This hard drive registers as Drive N on my PC.

I am trying to copy the files on this drive to a new 2 TB drive I just purchased, so I really appreciate any help anyone can provide.

I am new to Windows 10, and don't know the next step.

Thanks in advance.

Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
chkdsk /r /v
This may take hours to run so plan to run overnight.
Run on all drives using the syntax: chkdsk /r /v C: or chkdsk /r /v D: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive.

C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /r /v
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type: Y
reboot

Here are the screenshots from the 3 tests you asked me to do from HD Tune. It shows no errors. Did it check my external hard drive? That is the one my PC said had errors...

There is a log collector used in another forum room.
Run V2 and upload results into this thread:

BSOD - Posting Instructions

The drive tested was: ST2000DM008-2FR102

Test all computer drives.

When available please post chkdsk /r /v results.

Attached are the results from the scan of my 2TB External Hard drive.

When available please upload V2 into this thread.

I did the v2 log, not sure if it is the right information you seek for the External Hard Drive.

When running the V2 log collector click extract all:

I finally got it I think...sorry for my lack of knowledge. I thought I knew a bit about PCs until all of this...
