External HDD, Windows Hardware sound reoccuring

Hi to everyone who reads this.

I have an external Western Digital Hard drive of 500GB, where I store Images of my C, D and E partitions.

Now my problem; on a irregular basis I hear the "Hardware remove Hardware sound" from Windows, and it has to do with my external HD.
When I hear that sound I go to Windows+E and then I notice that my volumes on that disk aren't shown.
A few seconds or minutes later I hear that sound again and everything is back to normal, but a while later it begins again and again, repeatedly. Sometimes more than fifthy times a day and its very annoying. And because I have stored my Images there, I just don't want them to be obsolete when an emergency occurs.

It's like Windows is losing connection with that driver, or is there another culpritt to it? I don't know whats wrong.
Does someone have an adequate solution for that or had the same problem?

Thanks for your time and answer(s).

Best Regards Carlo
