Exactly. chkdsk by itself doesn't do anything. /f is needed to actually attempt to repair errors.

i was trying to watch a movie and moved the external hard drive and bumped it on something, then it disconnected and wouldn't read anything afterwards. crc comes up, is there any way to fix this, i downloaded paragon partition manager but idk what to do with it. the hdd still sounds like it spins and all, the computer also asks to format the disk before using it again but i want to watch that movie..

CRC is basically a calculation performed over some data which produced some result, the calculation can then be performed over the same data again at a later data and compared with the stored result -- if it's the same, the data is good (i.e. uncorrupted), if not it is bad. It is the data that is bad, not necessarily the medium on which it is stored/transferred.

@meatpuppet76 well to do what 3dgm recommends, type chkdsk. But that doesn't actually do anything, it just checks. To attempt to fix errors type 'chkdsk /f' (without quotes) and say y to schedule it for next boot - then reboot and let it run. But chkdsk only usually checks for file system errors, to check for surface errors, replace '/f' with '/r' but this will take a LONG time on a big HDD, 6 hours or so is normal. But CRC errors often imply a bad/failing drive.

@SomeMoreVideos2468 and then what?

I dont believe it has anything to do with the disk I have 3 different disk all new so it has to be something else.
