How are we supposed to use Windows media creation tool if we can’t install Windows?!

Thanks a million! Worked great on a wacky misbehaving external hard drive that was driving me crazy!!!

I have a question. Do you HAVE to do the windows command processor in order for it to clear the error or is that just to check it to see if it worked?

Thanks so much for this! I was trying to transfer photos to an external hard drive, and I kept getting this error. The first scan found no errors, but the second scan found the issue, I restarted my computer, and I was able to transfer the photos without a problem. Thanks again!

I've had my pc for like 3years and in all of its life I've never had a problem like this. It all started when randomly on week my computer wouldn't boot into windows 10 it would take me into the troubleshoot/repair screen. So to deal with that I cleared my hard rives and reinstalled windows 10. But as I was reinstalling windows 10 it crashed (it said could not see all files needed pls start again). Now x that by 10 and at that point I tried linux ubuntu and with no surprise it said "installer crashed" its been 3 days and nights and I've done what I think could work now I'm just looking for any answer to help my problem😔

Thank you for this video! I've been worried for hours when I was trying to reinstall a certain game from Steam. All I had to do is to scan my harddrive for errors and I had them, then I restart my computer, while the system scans and fixes all of the errors in the drive. Next boot everything works just fine. Will watch this again when I have this same error once again.

I'm no computer wizard but this was a very easy fix. I stood to lose over 22, 000 mp3 files. Thank you.

You fixed my Error issue with an external drive. Thank you so much.

I had this problem with my 1TB memory card and I nearly wiped the whole memory card but then I watched this and tried this method before formatting my memory card and I managed to fix it. Cheers

HOLY GOODNESS! This was a lifesaver. I couldn't delete some files on my flash-drive due to this specific error number it gave me; it was some TEMP file. I tried renaming and deleteing multiple times to no prevail, until I found this video (thanks Google for ranking this video on top of its search engine) and did exactly that by clicking "Properties" and scanning the flash-drive for error, and that ended up allowing me to delete that respawning like a phoenix TEMP file. Much thanks mate.

First method worked for my external HDD, thanks bro! (working July '22)

When I attempt to scan the drive, I get an error message that says "There was a problem scanning this drive: Windows was unable to scan the drive. Close this dialog box, and then try to scan the drive again. If the problem persists, scan and repair the drive." Any idea how to fix this? Since it says to scan and repair the drive but also says it can't scan the drive, I'm a little confused lol
