    Hi,

    This is also happening to my. I have a new external HD and nothing I try is changing the error code. There must be an inherent problem with Windows.

     Does this mean my external hard drive is not working?

    My problem was with a secondary hard drive controller with a Marvell chip.  I swapped out the controller and my problems disappeared.  I'm not sure what you can do with a USB drive, but the issue is probably tied to the controller and not the drive itself.

    I had the same problem with a USB drive. ejected the drive and plugged it into a port at the back of the tower and now it works fine.
