    In India they will replace the hard disk and data cannot be recovered. You must start saving your data in multiple location.

    Go to command prompt, start, click run and type cmd

    And in command prompt, type chkdsk /f <drive letter of external hd>

    If it asks you to schedule on next reboot, type yes and reboot
