Eventually virtually every Windows user is going to come across the Dirty Disk error message that basically locks a hard drive from being able to write to it as a protection. Which usually coincides with an unexpected loss of power be it your computer being switched off without shutting down or more usually an external hard drive being unplugged whilst data is being written to it. Nine times out of ten, your drive will be fine, but there will eventually be that one time when you find that you are no longer able to write data to the drive.

What's basically happened is that Drive has had it's Dirty Bit set, and to get to write again that dirty bit needs to be cleared. Which can prove more difficult to do than many web sites and youtube suggest to run CHECKDISK and the problem will be fixed. Instead in reality you will find that you have less than a 50% chance of Check disk working amongst a whole list of methods often recommended as listed below -

* CHECK DISK
* Surface Scan
* DISKPART
* FSUTIL
* Manufacturer Utilities (WD)
* EASEUS Tool M Beta
* DEFRAG

However there is a good chance that ALL of these methods will FAIL to fix the dirty volume error. Instead this video presents the only sure way to actually fix the error, so watch the video to save you many hours going in a wild goose ride trying various methods without success.
