Unaccessabile Drives - Ken M - Oct 15, 2016
I have one SSD and HDD installed. Since a couple of days ago I am not able to access my HDD or any external USB drives I plug in. I can see that the external drive is connected via a 3rd party program but I cannot access it. When I run check disk in CMD it says the drive is inaccessible.

Have you tried reproducing this issue with a different OS on the machine? If the issue persists in Linux, there's a good chance it's hardware related. If not, you may be able to fix this.

I'll have to get a live Cd made when I get home, thanks! The external does open on my laptop which has Kali linux installed, now to test HDD.

Also everything seems to be slow, when I click items on the start menu it takes a while to open.

Bad sectors are an end of life of any drive. Reformatting my help for some time but the drive is basically gone.
