Unaccessabile Drives

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.
i think you lose your drive try youse hiren boot and check with partion magic in linux and see if that work and capactiy is on
Bad sectors are an end of life of any drive. Reformatting my help for some time but the drive is basically gone.
