Can you give the exact error massage? It'll be easier to pin point the problem.

Edit.

It might be the media brand compatibility, try going into device manager and see if it's in DMA mode. If that doesn't work try to update the firmware of drive. If none of that work, it's the drive is crap, time to buy a new one with better media compatibly.

Don't buy external drive as it's slow ass hell (usb connection). try and get an internal one.
