Unable to restart or shutdown PC

[nakedtons]

I installed Windows 10 on a new SSD but the current HDD drive is no longer accessible as secondary storage drive or even getting chkdsk to fix it due to multiple corrupt system files because of improper shutdowns as I was left with no option but to turn it off with the power on/off button.

I am asking if I connect the dead HDD with a docking station, will the files still be readable? I cannot afford to lose all my important data.

Yes, you can read off your data provided there is no physical or mechanical failure on the drive.

can the drive still be seen in the Disk Manager?


It may appear as RAW. Use testdisk to dig up the data.

Yes it can be seen but access is denied. Access is only denied after an interrupted automatic canceled disk check upon startup. Guess the process had corrupted the entire drive. I can no longer run chkdsk on it as all access to the drive is denied.

You can take ownership of the drive and then edit the permissions if necessary (google it) to restore access. This is a bit technical.

Alternatively, you can run a data recovery software like easeus to backup the files to another HDD.

Unable to do so. Windows Explorer hangs when editing permissions.

im curious to know what you meant by access denied? in terms of permission? if it takes too long to get that permission settings or even load the contents of the drive in explorer, likely chance is that your drive is dying.

pardon me if im wrong. what i understand from you is when you connect the drive, intend to open the explorer and it loads forever till you click cancel, and for you to access the drive it says denied. is that right?

Location is not available. Access is denied. Even in CMD, access is also denied.

hmm. you may give this a try.

 

[nakedtons]

hmm. you may give this a try.

Thanks, I shall try.

 

[nakedtons]

that is essentially what you did


have you tried accessing the drive with linux? CAUTION: This may screw your disk further but it's already screwed so much anyway...


DO NOT!!! use any linux ntfs repair tools on NTFS drives.

I used to have full access to the drive before the damn Windows automatic repair of my storage drive and then canceled without warning upon startup one day screwed up my drive. I think that it isn't about the security permission. It is that my drive is screwed.

I should not had plugged it into my motherboard. Should had used it as an external drive with a docking station or enclosure and only switch it on after Windows is fully loaded. The best thing I can do is data recovery unto another new storage drive.

The worse thing is that even my SSD is experiencing the same shutdown problem from a fresh install and I am forced to turn off my computer using the power on/off button. Not sure if it is a bug from Windows 10. If this carries on, even my SSD will be screwed up too and I can forget about using my desktop PC.

Finally, obtained a crash analysis on what has been preventing my computer from shutting down and restarting. Any solution is appreciated.

If a format doesn't fix it then is hardware issue.
