CHKDSK interrupted - now can't access Drive D:

Thank-you for your suggestions.

I've run the trouble shooter twice. It says that it fixed problems and needed a restart but Drive D: still can't be accessed.

I changed the drive letter but this didn't help either.

However, File Explorer will load but it takes a very long time. (Probably because it is trying to search for the D: drive. The drive appears in File Explorer but when accessed gives the error message "file directory is corrupt or unreadable".

The Format option is still grayed out in Disk Management but it does seem to be available when right clicking the drive in File Explorer.

Do I have any options other than reformatting?
