I am having problem with my Toshiba hard disk. When ever I am copying a big file to it, it runs fast until it reached approx 95% and then it takes a long long time before it completes. If I copy two big files at a time, it will do the same at the end of each files. I have tried running error check a few times and attached is the report. If I tick the "scan for and recovery of bad sectors", it will again take a long time. Is the hard disk permanently damaged or just requiring a re-formatting?

It is indicated that you have a "Volume Bitmap is Incorrect" message, therefore have a read of this from Microsoft.

Thanks but doesnt help much as I am not sure on how to "hotfix". Will a reformat on my external hard disk work? or is there any freeware that will help fix this?

Can you show me a screen shot of what the external disk looks like in Disk Management please.

after much frustration and a reformat, all problem seems to have gone. Thanks anyway.
