I'm pissed off real time! It's my important PSD!  I'm using NFTS external hard drive in my office. But when yestered when I bring home my drive and inserted it in my PC which is the same windows 11 and version of photoshop. Everything is fine I edited my file not until today as I received this error of all of my 3 PSD!

The risk of file corruption is very high if saving directly to external storage.

 

Save to local disk, then copy over.

 

Do not touch the drive when data transfer is in progress. Replace cables regularly. Be careful when plugging/unplugging so that you don't damage the connectors.

Can someone help me with this error? Is there a way to recover the files?
I mean it's the same windows 11 but different PC.
