Not really sure what else to say about it. I have the latest firmware installed for my drive. I've had it for less than a year. It will work for a few hours just fine and then tell me the bin is corrupt and I can't access anything on the drive without a reboot. Fresh install of Windows 8

On a side note, I don't remember having this issue with Windows 7. That's probably not relevant.

Hey there, IcyRhythms!

I'm really sorry to hear about your problem, though I don't think this error is because of the WD Passport.
You can check by connecting the external drive to another computer to see if it still pops up.
Here a fix for the "recycling bin is corrupted":

You may have to do this for each HDD partition on your computer.

Hope this helps you.
Keep me posted! :)

Sorry about that, must be pretty annoying.
I'd suggest then to backup the data from your WD My Passport and re-format the drive.

This should be able to resolve the issue and prevent the error from appearing.

I hope this will work for you.
