Error Code error-seek — Windows 11

Postup řešení

1. 1 Back up your data immediately if the drive is accessible. Copy important files to another drive using File Explorer. This is critical because seek errors often indicate a failing drive.
2. 2 Run Check Disk (chkdsk) to fix file system errors and bad sectors. Open Command Prompt as administrator (Windows key + X, select 'Terminal (Admin)'), type 'chkdsk C: /f /r' (replace C: with the drive letter), and press Enter. If prompted, type 'Y' and restart. This scans and attempts to repair the drive.
3. 3 Check the drive's health using the Windows Error Checking tool. Open File Explorer, right-click the drive, select 'Properties', go to 'Tools', and click 'Check'. Follow the prompts.
4. 4 If the drive is external, try a different USB port and cable. A loose connection can cause seek errors. Also, try connecting directly to the motherboard instead of a hub.
5. 5 Update the drive's driver. Press Windows key + X, select 'Device Manager', expand 'Disk drives', right-click your drive, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'.
6. 6 If the drive is internal, check the SATA cable and power connection. Reseat the cables to ensure a firm connection. If possible, try a different SATA port.
7. 7 If chkdsk cannot fix the errors, the drive may be physically failing. Consider using data recovery software or contacting a professional data recovery service.
