What file system in that external HDD? – Sep 29 '16 at 08:07

The file system is NTFS – Geoffrey Mogendi Sep 29 '16 at 08:55

Tools available for Linux cannot error correct NTFS but the standard Windows tool should do it easily. – Sep 29 '16 at 08:57

It's probably defective then. We cannot help you with that. – Sep 29 '16 at 09:05
