Get a new HDD ASAP and do what you can to transfer the files while you can.

It's limited to only the Steam folder I think. I'm starting to take note of all the data. I'm not so much worried about everything on it but only a few things.

Mechanical hard drives still use physical components to read data. Because of this, they will eventually fail, and one of the most comment signs of a failing or dead hard drive is the clicking sound of the disk reader struggling to work.

I've got a HDD that I bought my freshman year of college in 2007. It's been through 17 moves back and forth to home and then all my apartments since. Still kicking though I have all that data on another hard drive on my desktop just in case.

Windows disk repair in progress
Perhaps staying sober to appease the RNG of hardware is good to do now

Huh just looks like writing to the steam section on it is fucked, I can copy from there just fine. And can paste to it,

Ah well I'll see if work has any they can give me

I don't think I've had an external HDD last more than a year, even if it was sitting quietly on a shelf 99% of the time
