The first in a series of videos I'm making for future student workers here in the CCCB I.T. department. Subscribe for more! Note: You can do this much faster by simply plugging the drive into an external adapter and running chkdsk /F; you can also run it from the computer the drive is already in, but that may not yield as successful of results.
