Hey, Naveen_12.

Sorry to hear about the issues you're having with your drive.
First, you should backup any important data which you might have on the HDD, just to be on the safe side. After that I'd recommend that you try the drive with a different USB cables and the laptop you've been experiencing problems with, to see if anything changes. After that you could download DLG (Data Lifeguard) and run both tests (Quick and Extended), to see if anything out of the ordinary pops-up.

You should also try a different external drive with that laptop, to see if the same thing happens.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
