All depends on where you initially initialized and formatted the disk. If in Mac, use Mac Disk utility to correct the errors, if in Windows, right-click the disk in Windows Explorer, select properties, then Tools, and click Check now...
But before,
BACK UP ALL THE FILES ON THE DISK!!!!!

Thanks
but the external hard drive is recognizing only in windows can't check properties and neither it is opening nor it showing used and free space. The same hard drive in mac working ok but the file system is NTFS so in mac it is read only thus I don't have any way to back up data. so pls give some thoughts I need the data
thanks
