Well there may be a virus, a corruptuption or I don't know but repartitioning it and deleting the partition and repartitioning it or formating it might help but you will still lose files

A "virus" on the disk that would prevent it being detected on one host but not others? I don't think that makes sense, you seem to give computer viruses magical properties.

Blindly repartitioning without good reason is very bad advice, particularly on a disk that's malfunctioning!

A virus on the disk or a faulty USB could be a problem
