Almost an year ago, I bought a WD 500gb external HDD to use it for backing up of my personal photos and videos. Howere, last week when I tried to move data from the hdd, it reported I/O error and refused to copy the data on my laptop. So I decided to format the HDD, with almost 300gb of data in it (I had back up of it on diff HDD hence saved...). Now when I go for quick format, the HDD gets formatted, but I cannot copy anything onto it. When I tried the full format, the format didnt happen even after keeping it up for 30 hours. Please advise on how to make the HDD workable?
