I've been having a problem with my external hdd i bought about 4-5 months ago. Now every time I plug in the external HDD it only shows up as local disk, when I try to right click it to access the shortcut menu so i can get to the properties but nothing happens except the windows explorer for my computer freezes up. Before this happened I was still able to access the hard drive but whenever I tried to copy and paste data off of the hard drive to any computer it would have the error "The request cannot be performed because of an I/O error" on about 50-60% of the files. I was still able to stream music from my external on itunes perfectly.
Will the data be recoverable? Symptoms of a crapped out hard drive?
