Error code 0X80070571 with the external HDD
No longer able to store, to delete, to move data to the HDD (btw,to move data from the HDD is possible!) : Error code 0X80070571 and the message: The disc structure is corrupted and unreadable.
I tried SeaTools for Windows, the HDD passed the long generic test but the problem persists.
Thanks for any help or advice in advance.

The Seatools test has verified that the "physical" hardware is working fine, which is good news.
However, the error-message "disk structure is corrupted" means that there is a "logical" problem. Compare it to a book with a Table of Contents that has been overwritten by a two-year-old with crayons;
the pages are not physically torn nor missing, but you cannot "read" the original Table of Contents information.
Connect the drive, and note which drive-letter that Windows assigns, e.g., 'E:'.
Click Start
Click Run
Type CMD and press ENTER
Type CHKDSK E: /F and press ENTER,
and let Windows try to reconstruct the Table of Contents on the disk.
