I have seen this kind of problem with my friends HDD also,

HDD will be fine only problem will be with the circuit which is connected to HDD i.e. which is used to convert IDE to USB.


just change IDE to USB circuit it will work fine...

Problem will be with ur USB device on system, which is not giving enough bandwidth or voltage or power to external HDD.

Try to connect to ur friends pc..and find out..if still problem exists take it to service center...

If your willing to erase your hdd, just plug it directly on your motherboard then format it.

Or you can try recovery softwares. Check PC Application Section.

Format it using NTFS file system
