Hi all,
I've been pulling my hair out (or what I have left of it) trying to transfer video files from a external hard disk to my PC.
When I try to transfer I get "can’t read from the source file or disk" for all video files.
The weird thing is, the files play fine from the external hard disk and when I perform a disk check, it returns no errors. I have tried to perform a chkdsk but this gets stuck. I'm running a chkdsk overnight to see if it completes.
I've tried to backup the drive to the PC using backup software, this fails. I've also tried to compress individual files on the hard disk, this also fails. I paid for a video repair tool, which also failed. Lots of fails
I'm running Windows 10.
Any advice and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
