problem with steam

[GanjajoggiBig]

so my brother encountered a problem with steam where when he wants to go to the folder with all his games he cant acces it, it says its corrupted or not readable, we tried fixing the library to no avail its just that one folder none else

the steamlibrary folder on his second drive, the whole folder wont work

 

edit: he managed to fix it, he checked the whole drive for errors via windows properties
