Had my external HDD for like 2 years now
Today I plugged it in and it came with with 
"theres a problem with this drive scan here to fix it"
Thought that was strange, clicked on the drive and it came up with the loading bar, I was like eek.gif
It just sits there and my computer freezes while its plugged in, literly cant do anything, when I un-plug it 
"The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"
It still shows up in disk management as healthy and full size there, and its spinning fine, no noise, just as its always been.

Any ideas? tried different USB ports changed the cable....

download crystal disk info and give us more info on the reading, bad sectors maybe?
