Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hi all,
I have a 2TB Seagate USB3 external HDD for about 2 years now.
I'm using Win8.1.
Till yesterday, it worked just fine. Now when I boot into windows, I see in My PC that the drive (N:) is added and then disappears and then after a minute added again and then disappears.
This hangs the system as well, ie., desktop icons are not fully loaded or restarting is not possible until I unplug this drive.
I use this drive for backing up File History (win8.1 feature) and other back stuff.
Please, can anyone help me solving this issue?
I'm getting Event ID 27, volsnap
The shadow copies of volume N: were aborted during detection because a critical control file could not be opened.
Event ID 51, disk
An error was detected on device \...\DR3 during a paging operation.
Event 140, Ntfs
The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: N:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume4.
(A device which does not exist was specified.)
