Ok, do as below: copy the next line to notepad: chkdsk /f X: replace the "X" in the line, with the external drive letter, do not delete the colon mark at end of line, make sure no spaces after the colon mark. select and copy the line again open the CMD command again from the run box, with the CMD terminal interface press alt+spacebar, and arrow up to "edit submenu" open it and find the "paste" and hit inter, hit inter again. it should work this time, as long as you've put in the right drive letter.
