Format the HDD, and you'll be good to go I guess :)
If you're not willing to format, you can always try the 'Repair'-option you have on w7. Don't know how it's called exactly, but each time you plug the HDD in, and the system sees there is something wrong, it will ask if you want to check/repair the disk.
You'll be able to do so trough the Propreties as well (rigth click on the HDD).

Kind regards,

That's strange, in that case it's probably a hardware-related problem I think.. If you still have warranty, maybe return it to the store?

To check and mark bad sectors use the command <chkdsk /f X:>

where 'X" is the logical letter of HD.
