This error is displayed when the disk is corrupted.
Things not to do:
1. Never click 'OK' for this message
2. Never try to partition the disk.

Solution:
1.If you have disk recover software like 'Recover my files', use it and recover the files
or
2.Download PC INSPECTOR recovery software. Here is the link 'PC INSPECTOR'.

Recover your data. Then format the drive.
