Run chkdsk to repair a Windows 11 hard drive To run chkdsk using the Windows 11 GUI, open Windows File Explorer, navigate to the hard drive volume you would like to scan for errors and right click.

When files on a hard drive were originating from a MAC device and then moved to a Windows machine, the notice “Can’t read from source file or disk” appears.

When running command line chkdsk.exe, you receive error CHKDSK Cannot open volume for direct access then this post will help you for sure.
