    "The driver detected a controller error on the \Device\Harddisk4\DR4"

    Try updating the hard drive drivers. See snip.
    Attachment 48867

    If any software came with the drive, install it.

    Sorry not up to speed on computer jargon, they are all stand alone external drives which i connect via a USB which are causing the problems. Does that help???
    I know its not a SATA drive.
