Hi Rohit and thank you for reply,

Is an internal disk, in my computer have two internal disk, one for OS (that works with no problem) and another for storage.

I try the commands and this one chkdsk don't find any problems and anyway I run this one chkdsk /f and this last one show the next message: The type of the file system is NTFS. Windows can not run the disk check on this volume because

is protected against writing.

And I ran the virus scan and found no threats

Thank you for replying,

You can try to enable the hidden admin account on the computer and then boot the computer in Safe mode and check if you are able to remove the write protection from the drive.

Hi Fernanda,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In regards to your concern, please help me with following questions:

Is the Hard drive external or internal?

You can try following steps and check if that fixes the issue:

Run Virus scan on the Hard Drive.
Perform check disk commands on the Hard Disk to fix the Disk errors.

Refer to this article.

Note: Remove all the external devices before performing check disk.

Data Loss Disclaimer:

While performing these steps there might be a risk of data loss. You may take a backup of the data before performing the steps.

Hope it helps.
