| lex von v Senior Member 2511 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Oct 11 2014 : 11:34AM Tools from hard disk manufacturers OTOH test for errors on the file system, but probably won't be of much help for damaged file system structures. Chkdsk will create files in your %temp% directory while it is running, it could well be that somehow it runs out of space when checking such a large device. BTW: you can also run chkdsk with the /r parameter, then it checks for faulty sectors (just as the manufacturer's tools would do). But I guess if chkdsk doesn't even go through the normal test, it won't perform the other test, either. You should try making sure there is enough space in your %temp% before running chkdsk. [Link] |

| lex von v Senior Member 2511 Posts 12/12 | Posted - Oct 11 2014 : 5:50PM in that case, (if you have a normal computer, not a laptop), you might want to try to remove the hard disk from the USB enclosure and put it directly into your computer via S-ATA. This way, the power management should work differently. At work, I have some enclosures who always shut down the hard disks after a certain time, something that never happens when the disk is connected directly to the mainboard. Don't know about E-SATA, though. Power management could be similar to that of USB. [Link] |
