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 -Ravi13external hard disk is not detected by the computer after the error 'window-delayed error' problem is shown by the hdd??? pls tell me the solution asap...
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?Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

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.Ravi13window xp, through data cable,it's brand is 'seagate'

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-#
