What’s wrong with my harddrive?

by galletita . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

Hey Guys –
Ok so here’s my problem:

I think my external harddrive is dying.
I have all of my music on it.
I normally listen to it through iTunes, and about half of the songs now “can’t be found”.
When I open the drive’s folder it’s completely empty, but if i manually type the name of a folder within the drive it’ll pop up. The pie graph still shows that it’s as full as it was before but still – about half the songs won’t work. Is it possible that this is happening because I downloaded a corrupt song? When I restart my computer it says something about having to check one of the disks and after about two hours it verifies that about 2,500 files don’t work or whatever. Is there any way to fix this, etc etc?
Sorry for the lameness of this post – I’m obviously not much of a computer wiz. If there’s anything I left out let me know.
