Urgent Help Needed: Troubles with USB and PowerPoint Presentations
Hello readers,
I find myself in a challenging situation and am reaching out for your guidance. Recently, I attempted to use a USB drive to download my PowerPoint presentation, but I encountered an error message that read: “The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 800700002.” Until this point, everything was functioning smoothly. However, following this incident, both my existing presentations and any new ones I’ve created have become corrupted.
This is incredibly frustrating, as I am now unable to open or send these files, even in alternative applications. I’m keen to find a solution to restore access to my old presentations and ensure that my future work remains safe and usable. Additionally, I would like to know how to check for any potential viruses or damage that may have originated from the USB drive.
I have managed to save one presentation by running PowerPoint as an administrator and re-saving it, but this is not a viable long-term fix. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has advice on how to proceed, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 🙏

Hi,
I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing with your USB drive and PowerPoint files. The error message “The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 800700002” suggests there might be filesystem corruption or a problem with the USB drive itself. Here are some steps you can try to recover your presentations and ensure your system’s safety:
chkdsk /f /r X:(replaceX:with your USB drive letter) and press Enter.
