i'll give it a try
EDIT
everytime i try, it gives me some lip about a VOLUME and then says i have to unmount my VOLUME of the drive... or something like that, it gives me some confusing words
The problem is your syntax.It should be chkdsk #: /R (where you should put the volume number in place of #) To find out the volume go to disk manager (Right click on "My Computer" and choose manage then choose "Disk Manager"). You'll find your drives listed as disk 0, disk 1, etc. The number after disk is the volume number.
Also make sure it's formatted a NTFS and not FAT32, according to one of my pals, a FAT32 format has trouble with transferring big files.(not too sure about this one though, from what I gather, it fixed it for some and made it worse for others, I've never gotten the opportunity to mess around with an external HDD so I'll ask some people who have.)
Your friend is correct.
