I bought a 250GB external hard drive. It is a SATA drive connected via USB2 to the PC.
Now I am having many problems with it. I copied many files to it without errors and I never had a hang up. However, after a few days, I'm getting a lot of "corrupted folder" errors on Windows XP. Doing a chkdsk /R finds many errors. In fact, every time a do it, more and more errors are displayed. Does this mean the hard drive was defective and replacing it would fix it? I'm puzzled because there were no I/O errors/ hang ups / power outages etc which would cause such errors. The format was OK and there are no defective blocks or sectors reported.
