This is a little Python application that make the attempt to rescue/fix your pendrive, SD-card, some other flash drives... And the HDD or SDD? Nope. :)
You need at first place Python installed in your computer.
Clone or download the code from the repo...
Execute (as Admin for windows) the program with the following command:
python Fixflashunit.py
- (In case of windows) Select the Drive right letter and press enter... (remember, as admin).
- (In case of linux) Select the File system's name Example: sdb, sdc, sde, etc.
- In case if the app works, good, your drive is safe now. If not, you should contact to technical support of your drive, or looking for more alternatives (I'm honest on that, because not every program will work properly)
One of my two siblings is a photographer, and he's constantly suffering partition corruption, he's constantly calling me to fix the problem, in my case I use Windows 10 as main OS, and I was used to make the typical "chkdsk /F <drive>" and he just said:
"Please make something to make this process a bit easier"
It made me get ready to code it fast as possible and fixing more bugs or adding more features...
+ (Windows) It shows a list of removable drives and their respective size.
+ (Windows) The explorer starts with the selected drive...
+ (Windows) Testing the "chkdsk" to this version.
- (Windows) Removed some bugged/useless functions.
