what is file system error (-2018374635) ?

Windows 10, Acer aspire F15.

I was just viewing and moving pictures from an old hard drive. I got one of those things to run another hard drive just through USB.

I can't open any pics. It says file system error (-2018374635)

I tried one of the fixes on Google. Like right clicking on empty desktop , then personalize then default., ect. But I couldn't even get to the next step. It was another file system error.

I can't even click the start tab at the bottom. Right or left click

The modem isn't connecting at all either

This thing is royally fucked it seems. This whole idea of running the old hard drive has been bugy as fuck. It asked to repair files every time I ran it. But I never did because I thought it would do more harm than good. But this time , I did click repair. And I think that's what kicked this fuckup off
