harddisk dosent work until chkdsk is done
hello everybody,
i have a 2.5" IDE hard disk, i use it as external hard drive with a USB enclosure, the problem is that sometime the disk is not accessible anymore, so i remove the hard disk from the enclosure and put it in a laptop and make a chkdsk to it from dos, that way the drive works again, but i can't do a chkdsk if the drive is in the enclosure because it's not accessible , now the drive did this again, how can i fix it without taking it and putting it in a laptop? because i don't have a laptop with an IDE connection anymore
Thank you in advance.

I think the problem is with the enclosure / the case of the hard disk. Try to change / use another case.

tried, still the same problem
may be Hard Disk is not accessible due to Bad Sector on Hard Disk.
So take all backup from your Hard Disk and Full Format HDD
may be your problem solved.

Its accessible after a chkdsk, right? If so, check your SYSTEM logs in the Event Viewer, and you should see various DISK/NTFS errors. Probably sa ton of them. If you see errors with bad blocks, use windows to simply copy the data off, once it is accessible again.
