Windows 10: Error: F: is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect."

I'm trying to fix two external hard drives from a Docking station, but I cannot get them to work at all. I have been troubleshooting for hours now, it's so frustrating.

So when I plug the hard drive in I get the error, "Error: F: is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect."

When I run chkdsk F:/r in cmd I get "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives".

I have tried everything I know, I've tried formatting it through cmd, I've downloaded third party formatting software (but it still won't read the drives).

Any help is greatly appreciated. Should I keep trying? Or is this a lost cause, and should I just throw out the drives?.

Thank you in advance ☺️

Hardrive not accessible. Parameter is incorrect

Hi Mohanmehra,

Sorry to hear about your issue.

Try the following method:

1. Plugin your device(it can be your External Hard Drive, USB etc) to your PC.
2. Open the Command Prompt. You can press Windows Key + X command and select Command Prompt.
3. Now, type chkdsk E: /f /r. Here, ‘E’ can be replace with the Drive Letter of your external device connected.
   
4. The above steps will run CHKDSK to check and repair File System Corruption, errors, corruptions or bad sectors on your device which might be causing such error – ‘Drive Is Not Accessible. The Parameter Is Incorrect'.

Hope the above information will help you.

Good Luck!

Hi,

The error "This Parameter is incorrect" usually happens because of a system or disk errors. To isolate this issue, we suggest running CHKDSK using the command prompt. Running CHKDSK
can check the integrity of a hard disk and can repair various file system errors. To run CHKDSK follow these steps:

• Plug in external hard drive, USB drive or memory card to the computer.
• Press Windows Key + X and then select Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt window, type chkdsk E: /f /r. You should replace E with the drive letter of your external hard drive or external device.
• Restart your PC once the process is done.
