It's very difficult to guess the right solution to the problem from the information you've provided. How about writing some more information like -

1. What operating system you are using?
2. How are you connecting your external HDD to your computer?
3. Which brand/make is the HDD?
4. Could you write the exact error message and maybe the steps to reproduce the error?

Cool. Run the checkdisk utility on the hard drive. Its better if you do it in safe mode.Use /r parameter and do checkdisk in command prompt. It might take about 2 hours.

I'd suspect a hardware problem. Does the hard drive work well with other computers? Did you try connecting it to any other system?

Update: I searched online and found that this could be a virus problem. Check this out: #-Link-Snipped-#
