Dear All,

I have an external HDD in which I have made a partion T. When I was transferring my data (name for example xyz) from desktop computer to the external HDD in T folder, the transfer, in the midway, failed because of failed connectivity of my external HDD to desktop computer, so I tried another time to transfer the same folder but I got following message:

"T:\ is not accessible

The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

What is more pathetic is that I could not even delete folder "xyz" from my external HDD, it gives me above message.

Previously also it happened and I just re-formatted the whole T and then again transferred all data of 6 GB, but it is cumbersome just for the "xyz" folder I have to sacrific all otherdata approx 5.5 GB erase and transfer again after re-formatting.

I would be thankful to you if you kindly give me a solution for this problem, I think the problem is also with connectivity also, as it just remains for 10-15 minute, after which my external HDD starts beeping but surprisingly I do not have any problem using my 512MB pendrive in the same USB connection.

Is your pc recognizing the external hard drive?

This is in reference to the answer offered by SHAVED

Yes, my PC recognizes the external HDD and the data in other partition of the same HDD is also fine. Even the other data on the same folder (e.g. except 'xyz' folder) are also accessible. I tried another way in which I made xyz (an empty folder) in my PC's HDD and tried to replace it with xyz in T on external HDD but it gives same message.

I want to know how can I delete the directory which receives such a message (given in my question).

Try connecting the external hard drive to a different USB port, assuming its connected via USB.

There may be files in xyz that is causing the problem. Instead of copying all at once, copy in batches.
