Windows 7: 0x80070570 error says cant copy

Hi Experts,

I have Dell 15r, which runs on win 7 home basic, i recently started using toshiba hard disk,
i have some files in the external hard disk when i try to move them or delete them i will get this kind of error message.

Error : 0x80070570 The file or Directory is corrupted and unreadable.



Kindly let me know how to delete or move these files.

Thanks in advance.

You could start by running the Disk Check utility on the drive:

Start > Computer > select (highlight) the drive > right click & Properties > Tools Tab > Error Checking > Check Now > Check "Automattically Fix File System Errors" > Start.

You could also check "Scan and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors", but this will take much longer, especially on an external drive.

Most times I run the standard scan and then if it finds errors I run it with all options checked. But in your case you might just "cut to the chase" as they say.
