The most likely solution is to replace the drive.

At the very least, you should test the integrity of the drive, and perhaps do a low-level format.

If this kind of format doesn't correct the problem, get a new drive ASAP.

You might be one of the unlukcy people who pick up a drive that dies very quickly. You'd probably be covered under a warranty.

Thanks for your all information. However, Low level format ?? Is it have to send back to manufacture to do so??
If yes, I think it would be wasting of time and money too.
So, got any software or anyelse that can help me to clean up all the bad sector ??
