Hi everyone.
First of all, I know there are a lot of threads on this but I checked loads of them and none of them seem to have a solution.
The drive is called: Buffalo DriveStation 1.0TB USB 2.0 External Hard Disk Drive. I got it in November 2012 from Amazon.
This has happened before (a few months ago) and I just formatted the drive because there was nothing extremely important on it, there isn't anything important on it this time either.
Here is a screenshot of My Computer:
Also, a screenshot of Disk Management:
I usually keep the ext HDD plugged into the computer so maybe the problem lies with the HDD powering up and down with the computer?
The reason why the drive letter is J is because it was suggested that changing the drive letter might work, obviously didn't.
Please ask if you need any more info or screenshots. Thanks.
