I have a 750gb external hard drive connected to my laptop which is running Windows 7 Professional 64bit.
When I click on computer it shows the hard drive and how much space I have left.
When I click open, a message comes up saying I need to format the hard drive before i can use it, I click no and get this message: " H:\ not accessible, data error ( cyclic redundancy check ) "
Any ideas of the cause of this as it was working perfectly before.

As for the cause - it could well have failed naturally as this is very common but if it has been dropped or bashed about then that would certainly exacerbate things.
I tried that,and so far,it seemed to have done it.
