Answer» I have used the new Samsung 320GB portable Hard disk over a month. Hard disk have four NTFS partitions which is partitioned by me from the single FAT32 partition.
Frequently while accessing a hard disk partition, its corrupted automatically. Hard disk repair tools can't help to recover the partition files. So, I format that partition to get access. All files are gone after the format.
Can I prevent this corruption?
Did you buyn it new? If so, contact the vendor and ask for repair or replacement. You could use chkdsk to check for partition table errors.

You could also use http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Testdisk to perform a scan of your portable HDD to check for corrupted sectors.That's new one.
chkdsk takes huge time to process over the 80 GB partition. It shows me the error like ....
"Segment 210 is Unreadable" for every segment.
I just cancel it after waiting ~ 1 Hour for 15% to complete. The data is not a matter to recover. I have an another backup.
Please assist me to choose the correct file system (Windows or Linux file system) for the portable hard disk. I need the stable file system without any data loss (Mainly for backup).
Well, NTFS supports volumes larger than 32GB-which is the limit for FAT32. I would stick with NTFS.Thanks.
Earlier I prefer NTFS. But the transfer speed is < 500kbps and there is complete data corruption over the partition.
Also I have some NTFS partitions on my internal HDD but its speed is > 15MBps EVEN that partition is 85 % full with out any problem or corruption for past three years.
Is NTFS worth for External HDD?Since 5 years ago there is no valid reason to not use NTFS as your file system...on any HDD.Quote from: CBSk on September 21, 2011, 10:49:51 AM chkdsk takes huge time to process over the 80 GB partition. It shows me the error like ....

This disk is FAULTY. It needs to be replaced. It won't get better, whatever filesystem type you use.

Well unless you are on a Mac with its funky HFS+ file system.
