Ok then, I will try sfc scannow first. Then I will try chkdsk to check if the hard drive is okay. Then I will try the third party software. But I will not use it if my antivirus blocks it. But I'll remember to copy the files on my computer hdd before doing this in case the hard drive is really faulty. Last, if all else fails, I will get a new hard drive.
I have tried running WD Disk Utilities on it and the SMART test and the self test passed. Maybe I should try chkdsk on the external hard drive.

I give up!

Wait does that mean you will never help me??? :O

I think she doesn't want you to lose your photos or do any tests until you have them backed up,

To avoid confusing the OP, why don't we hold off on the suggestions until he can get another HDD and get his data backed up first. He shouldn't be doing anything with the problem drive until then.
