Generally this is a tell-tale sign that the device is failing. You might check with the manufacturer's web site and download the diagnostic software they have. Run a test on the drive and see what the results are. Also try running a full file system check on the drive. Right Click on the drive in My Computer, select properties, select tools, and &quot;Check Now&quot;.

The Parameter Is Incorrect or Device Not Ready

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
