    There's a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it issue.


    Hello, I have a usb device, when I plug it in to my pc, it says there's a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it. I've tried everything. I've tried using cmd to repair, didn't work, I uninstalled the usb drivers an device, didn't work. I tried scanning the usb for errors and it tried to scan, but it said it had an error and didn't scan. Can someone please tell me how to access my device? I can't copy files to it of delete files from it.

    :)

    Error: problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it when connecting an HD drive

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To get a clear picture of the issue, we will need the following details:



    • When exactly are you receiving the error message?
    • Have you tried connecting the drive to any other USB port?
    • Are you able to access the drive on any other computer?
    • What is the make and model of the computer and the HD drive?


    In the meantime, I suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below:



    You can scan the drive for errors by following the steps mentioned below and see if that helps:



    1. Press Windows key + E, to open
      File Explorer      .
    2. Click on This PC on the left pane.
    3. Right click on the HD Drive and select
      Properties.
    4. Click on Tools tab, under
      Error Checking       click on Check. This will scan the drive for error and fix them.
    Note: If any bad sectors are found on the hard drive while Windows try to repair the sectors, data on the sectors might be lost.



    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    DVD Drive issues.

    The games used to run, now apparently the disks don't even read.

    Go to Device Manager and remove the DVD
    Scan for hardware changes and update driver as OS suggests

    Still not working?

    1) Clean the heads.
    2) Run a diagnostic program on the drive.

    Nothing else has changed about your system aside from the OS?

    Revert to XP Home, assuming you don't find the source of the problem in steps above.
