cannot read from the source file or disk

Hi guys, I have a 1TB Buffalo USB Hdd that i use for my films, I have been trying to copy across some new folders with films in but im getting the following error in windows 7 Ultimate x64: cannot read from the source file or disk

I have tried to do a repair but it sits at 42 files processes and does not appear to go any further after a couple of hours of waiting around. Does anybody have some suggestions? I believe it to be some issue with bad sectors on the drive possibly? cheers

For starters take the drive out of the usb caddy and connect direct. First basic option is chkdsk /f and let me know from there...

ok done as requested and I think it has worked, now copying across 37gb which it would not allow earlier, fingers crossed, cheers
