you need to type
cmd
in the run box and hit inter
the coming command line box interface has a problim with jaws2018 if
you on windows10, its going to say "text area" nothing else
but it still works , if you have NVDA it works fine with it. if not
still do as above with my instructions,
press insert plus B, to hear the feed back, its going to be really chatty.
If you find it hard to do, try to find someone to help you that know
how to do it via tandem. just give him the command I've posted.

I noticed something else. After opening the run command (Windows R), and I
press enter, there is no place to insert the chkdsk /f H:. Is there
supposed
to be an edit box for this?

Ok, do as below:
copy the next line to notepad:
chkdsk /f X:
replace the "X" in the line, with the external drive letter,
do not delete the colon mark at end of line, make sure no spaces after
the colon mark.
select and copy the line again
open the CMD command again from the run box,
with the CMD terminal interface press alt+spacebar,
and arrow up to "edit submenu"
open it and find the "paste" and hit inter,
hit inter again.
it should work this time, as long as you've put in the right drive letter.

Its the microsoft Check Disk from the Command Line to Find and Fix Errors
more info:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637756.aspx
make sure your drive to be fixed is not in use.
BTW its not rude to ask any tech related question.

Try this fix:
press windows+R, and type cmd, then hit inter
type the following command, replace the letter "X" with your actual
external drive letter:
chkdsk /f X:
hit the inter key, and wait untell the process ends and close the window
hope it works for you.

The wholeproblem comes in as two problems. When I save a document, I
get
the
message of not having rights to save a document directly on the
external.
But when I copy and paste a already created document onto it, it comes
up
as
a read only file. It really is crazy; but if it weren't, then it would
not
be my pc. Thanks.

Ah. If your username is on it, then you are the owner. So ... I am also
at
a
loss. Can you post the exact message you are getting when you try to
save?
Have you tried copying a document from your C drive to the external?
What
message do you get then? Is this only an MS office thing?

JM:
I followed your instructions, and my name is on the owner section. When
you
say user name, what exactly do you mean; as I have never set up any of
this
stuff previously. So, I am at a loss for clarity. Thanks.

HI.
Is this a prompt? As in, do you have the option to continue?
If not, you should try changing the "owner" of the drive.
Go to "this pc" and find your external hit.
Hit alt-enter to bring up the properties of the drive.
Select the "security" tab, by hitting right arrow from "general" until
you
hear "security".
Click the "advanced" button.
Check the owner of the drive.
To change it, hit the "change" link
Enter your username in the appropriate box.
You should be allowed full access. There are a lot of settings you can
adjust here, but I don't think you should need to mess with any of
them.

Morning all.
I have an external hard drive that I have been trying to save a
document
onto. However, when I go through the save as features and identify my
external, I get a message stating that I do not have administrative
rights
to this. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? I am using
Word
13,
Windows 10 and JAWS 2018 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.
