The drive or network connection that the shortcut "---.ink" refers to is unavailable.

The drive or network connection that the shortcut "---.ink" refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again.

I updated windows and now I get this "Problem with shortcut" error whenever I try to open certain shortcuts.

Then I noticed that in File Explorer my H:\ drive has a blue question mark next to it. So I went over to Disk Management and it told me I have to initialize a disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it. My C:\ drive is there but not my H:\ drive. C is
my SSD and has Windows 10 OS on it whereas the majority of my files are on my H:\ hard drive.

Whenever I try to initialize the "Disk 1" with GPT it tells me that the disk is not big enough and if I try MBR it says it cannot find the file specified.

 

Flash Drive - "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Camera.lnk" refers to is unavailable.

OK, it is as I thought, you copied over shortcuts to these items rather than the actual items to the flash drive.

Anything with a small arrow in the corner is a shortcut not the original item, hence the error message you are getting
"The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Camera.lnk' refers to is unavailable", as can be seen from the screen capture, this is a shortcut, not the actual folder . . .

From your screenshot, the items marked below are shortcuts to the original folder or file, not the actual folder or file!
