Trouble with my WD

Options

hi guys, I have a problem about my external drive, its a WD My Passport with an USB 3.0 attachment.

 

My problem is that it seems to load very slow, and I cannot mount it on my Windows 7 laptop and only opens in Linux Mint 12.. But this past few weeks, it works just fine., I don't know what's wrong.

 

On my Windows 7 laptop, its just a "Local Disk F" and can't be opened and tells me to format it before I can use it..

 

Looking forward for your help.. Thanks

Might be some corrupted files, you can try to backup the files and then reformat it.
