I think if your Portable Hard drive is infected by virus then also you get this type of problem with your Portable Hard drive. So scan it with the help of updated anti-virus and remove all the virus from your Portable Hard drive. Otherwise format your Portable Hard drive so all the file will deleted permanently from it and you will get blank/ empty Portable Hard drive to use. Check now it detect on your computer properly or not.
