Hi,

It sounds frustrating to deal with this issue.

The error seems to indicate that the hardware is corrupted.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

Ensure all cables are properly connected if you're using an external drive.

Try connecting the drive to a different USB port or another computer to see if it shows up.

• Update Disk Drivers:

Open Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).

Expand Disk drives, right-click on your disk, and select Update driver.

Follow the prompts to update the driver.

• Assign a Drive Letter:

Open Disk Management (Win + X > Disk Management).

If you see your drive without a letter, right-click on it and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.

Assign a new drive letter.
