I have a Maxtor 200GB Personal Storage 3200 Hard Drive and I recently went to plug it in and it wouldn't find it. After some work it FINALLY found it but when I click to open it it says "The disk structure is corrupt and unreadable." I tried to search for some answers but none made sense to me. Can someone explain to me WHY it has done this and HOW to fix it. (where I can understand it)

maybe it got shut off unexpectedly and became corrupted ... if u have data on it already i would try a recovery app ...

Your drive may be faulty. Its electronics, so failure can occure almost anytime.
