External Hard Disk Drive The File Directory is Corrupted and Unreadable [Solved]

By
If you're one of the people who has not lost hope of recovering your files caused by some error when you access your external HDD or Hard Disk Drives that says "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable", don't worry. There's something out here in the internet that can help you if you're just hopeful and persistent enough to type this problem in Google. 

 I recently had experience this problem and was worried to loose my years of files from my collection of personal photos, videos, and files which stretched back when I was high school which I kept for memories. It was a big mess if I lost my data.

 But I didn't loose hope and typed the problem in Google, and tried some of the quick fix I found searching. On a forum, I've tried some fix and amaze that it really helped! I was very thankful that's why I'm sharing this experience to you so I can also help some of you here who is experiencing same problem. Hope I can help.

 Here's the steps on how to fix your external drives that displays error saying the file or directory is corrupted or unreadable in Windows. 1. Go to CMD by clicking on Start > Run > then type CMD and press enter on Windows 7 (Windows Key > type CMD in Windows 8 to open the command prompt.

 2. Look at the error that displays whenever you access your drive to check on what partition or drive it occurs, if it's Drive D, E, F, G, or what. (The fix you'll be typing will depend on the affected partition).

 3. Type the following codes:
"chkdsk /f d:" and press enter if the problem is the drive d, 

 "chkdsk /f e:" if the problem is drive e,

 "chkdsk /f f:" if the problem is drive f,

 "chkdsk /f g:" if the problem is drive g, and so on depending on the drive or partition label. 

 4. Do the same for partitions if your drive has more than one partitions that are also inaccessible.

 I hope that helped. Your hard disk now should work like mine.

Reaction Paper for the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

By
The Second Part of the Reaction Paper on the Count of Monte Cristo Movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great story that helps you to realize how far the reaches of vengeance can really go. When the Count is going around ruining people it seems like he is more of a machine than a person. It seems like he has no emotions and can’t forgive the people who hurt him. Although some people might argue that the people who wronged the Count truly had what was coming to them, some of the Count’s actions could be seen as unnecessary. In the end everyone will be punished or rewarded by God and you shouldn’t be worried about what other people do or say as much as you are worried about yourself. “God will give me justice,” this line which was engraved in the wall on the prison was retained on my mind when I watched the movie” The Count of Monte Cristo.” This movie amazed me very much because of its excellent theme. I really like the story because it has a mixed of drama, suspense and rom

Pluggle Review: 6 Reasons Why I doubt Pluggle and Why I'm Not Joining

By
First thing first, I am not concluding that this Pluggle is a scam because as per my observation and as far as my knowledge is concerned, people including my close friends seems profiting from this scheme and got the money they invested into it in a short period of time, and with profit ( although I'm sure the return of investment they got was paid by the people they invited and not from the company itself ). I think there's no doubt as to their legitimacy because, YES they are legitimate and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines as PLUGGLE INC. Are they scam? " Scam " is defined as a " dishonest scheme or a fraud ", are they being dishonest? I think no because they intend to do what they say. Are they " fraudulent "? Fraud is defined as " wrongful or criminal deception intended  to result in financial or personal gain "? This is also vague but I think I was struck by the last pa
