e:\$Mft windows -delayed write failed

error:disk read error - read fails, the system cannot find the file specified.
================
these are the error messages that come up when I run my external hdd. What is the possibility that it is caused by a virus called minesweeper. My anti virus can not detect it. Please help.

They are also the same messages that would pop up if your external hdd has gone bad. Try plugging it into a different USB port to see if that helps. If not try testing it in another computer to see if it works there.
