Detailed explanation-1: -This problem has several possible causes: partition issues on the external drive, using the wrong file system, dead USB ports, or driver issues in Windows.
Detailed explanation-2: -External hard drives are especially prone to failure due to frequent improper use, outdated drivers, bundling with incompatible software on different operating systems, frequent connection and disconnection to different devices, and, in the case of portable or USB hard drives, unsafe ejection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hard disk errors are typically caused by power outages, hardware failures, poor system maintenance, viruses, or human error. To fix disk errors, you can use the Chkdsk tool found in Windows operating systems.
