Will "Scan and Fix" on my External Hard Drive delete data?
-
I'm having issues with my external hard drive (segate goflex) everytime I plug it in via USB it prompts a "Scan and Fix" but I'm scared it'll delete all my important work data. When I continue without Scan and Fix, then go to access my files - it disconnects and then reconnects and does the same thing.

Answer:
It sounds like you have some damaged sectors on your external drive. It is possible to fix these sectors by doing "scan and fix". Best to do this now rather than risk hard drive failure. Hopefully, you are disconnecting your external drive correctly by left clicking on the green arrow icon on lower right screen and choosing eject.
