No, I get the same error messages as before, like "To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab." Any more advice would be welcomed.
It says "Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems."
Then it lists a lot of info about bytes.
What's next? Thanks for your help.
When I take out the flash drive, it doesn't even remove it on the "This PC"
Okay, I opened up the black box that says "Administrator: Command Prompt" at the top. I typed in chkdsk Z: /R
I put a space between the "k" and the "Z," but no space between the ":" and the "/R"
Is that correct?
Where do I type that in? " chkdsk /f /r"?
I have an HP with Windows 10. Thanks!
Another problem is that when I put the USB device in, I get the error message: "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
I know this is a familiar problem, but the explanations I've seen for it are very lengthy, and they didn't seem to apply to my exact problem. Please advise.
I get this message: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click continue to permanently get access to this folder...
