Welcome to the community, Steve!

This error message may be because of a lot of things.
It might be a software or a hardware issue. It would be much more helpful, if we could narrow down the probable cause of the problem.
I would first suggest to scan the HDD by running scandisk in the Command prompt (cmd).
Or directly type the command chkdsk x: /r (where x - is the drive letter assigned to the HDD you want to fix)
Here's a link that can help you do this: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.htm...

If nothing's wrong there, I'd suggest to proceed with finding what is causing this error.
