Unable to access files in USB hard disk drive

LGA, on Thursday July 10, 2008 12:51:53 PM

Hello,
I am unable to access files in my USB HDD after a few minutes of operating it. If I try playing a movie, it will run smoothly for around 5 min max and then gets stuck. If I close that and try to access files anywhere in the drive, nothing will be there. Sometimes I can view the folders but not files within it. An error message "Delayed Write Failed" appears near the system tray (where the date is displayed).
I have used this device on several computers. I think it got infected by some virus or so.
Can anyone suggest a remedy for this.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0
