    I noticed my 4TB HDD started to act kinda funky. I decided run some error checking on it and I am stuck at this point for the last few hours. Actually it's been running close to 19 hours. I don't want to stop it because I don't have to but at some point I will have to give up on this drive.



    How long should I wait? The drive is about 90 percent full. My gut tells me to just leave it for a while longer.

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
