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.
(Be patient and wait for the process to finish)
4. Do the same for partitions if your drive has more than one partitions that are also inaccessible.
