Can’t Determine Volume Version and State – How to Fix and Recover Data?

I’m seeing an error that says “Unable to determine volume version and state” and now I can’t access my drive. I’m really worried about my data.

Has anyone run into this before? What’s the best way to fix it and recover files?

Thanks for any advice!

Fix “Unable to determine volume version and state” error:

1. Don’t format the drive.

2. Use recovery software like Stellar to get your files back.

3. After recovery, run this in Command Prompt (as admin):

chkdsk X: /f
Replace X: with your drive letter.

4. Check Disk Management to see if the drive shows as RAW or unallocated.

5. Recover data first before any repairs.
