Ah. It's starting to sound as though you might have a corrupted disk partition.
When did this start happening? As an experiment, to see if something else is causing it, can you go back to a system restore point from before the error started happening? If you can still read data from the drive, it means you can still can copy it. So I'd back up everything important from that drive. You might need more help than people on this list can provide. The good news would seem to be that the data is still actually there and accessible by the drive, so it's not a total hard disk failure that'd cost you hundreds of dollars to salvage. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: December 8, 2017 9:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Administrative rights on External Hard Drive Thanks.
