"Error Performing Inpage Operation" on Hard drive - [How to Solve]

2011-10-28T17:32:00.001+05:30

Recently i came across this problem that whenever i tried to open my External Hardrive
comes error message “H:\ is not accessible, Error Performing Inpage Operation”.

I am sure most of them might have came across this problem and this might solve the issue,
When i got this problem, i did a quick search in google and most people advised to go for new replacement
rather try with error prone hard drive.

Even just a minute, i even though of old data have lost and rather i am looking for some data recovery tools and other solutions to recover my data from hard drive.

Also When i was navigating to Disk Management (Storage) utility under Computer Management was noticing for Error hard drive the file type was empty rather (FAT/NTFS) and free size as full disk size, which worried me as i thought the hard drive is corrupted or data is erased completely.

Cause of error:

Physical problems on the diskette media, and is probably unrelated to paging operations involving the Windows paging file

The error message can also mean that your drive is in bad state with some bad sectors which is the reason.

Solution:

But this simple tip might be easy to trouble shoot and take bit too long (depends on disk size and amount of errors)

Start > Run > type in cmd then click OK to get a command prompt.

Type chkdsk e: /r (replace e: with the drive letter of your external hard drive with the error).

Also you could use a /f instead of /r. /r attemps to recover bad sectors. /f tries to fix bad sectors. /f does not try to repair. so you would have more data loss, but if its that bad its another option. /? will show all options

Might not work if drive is to full, needs room to recover files. it will tell you if that happens.

Do share it below if any of you encounter issue similar to above or any HD Relaed issues.
