Can’t Read from the Source File or Disk

Can’t Read from the Source File or Disk

Geeks - If you receive an error message stating "Can't read from the source file or disk," it usually means that the file or disk you are trying to access is either corrupted, missing, or currently in use by another program. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check the file or disk for errors by running a scan. This can be done by using the built-in disk checking tool on your computer.

Close any programs that might be using the file or disk, and try accessing it again.

If the file or disk is located on an external drive, try disconnecting and reconnecting the drive to see if that fixes the issue.

If the file or disk is on a network drive, try accessing it from another computer to see if the issue is with the network or the file itself.

If the file or disk is still not accessible, you may need to restore it from a backup or try to repair it using a file recovery tool.

If you need further help with this issue, it is best to seek assistance from a technical support specialist or a knowledgeable friend or family member.
