A Two year old 2 TB disk is used! you cannot rely on disks such as these as permanent solutions for storage. They are temporary storage. they are not designed to read/write as a normal hard drive.
So I have just found out under Disk management there is a Section called 'Disk 1' which is my hard drive. It is said as Unallocated and not initalized.
When I hit initialize disk it gives me the following options for partition style:
MBR (Master boot Record)
and
GPT (GUID partition table)
Selection either of these gives me an error saying "Data Error (cycilic Redudnacy check) the only option is to his OK and nothing happens.

Did you able run chkdsk for that drive in command prompt?
To do that run command prompt as administrator rights and type chkdsk d: /f d: is for your hard drive that has problem.

Portable HARD DRIVES FAIL! Are you prepared to take it apart and measure voltages, because that is next!
I spoke with all of the hardware techs in my department today (9 of them are PC techs, 4 of them are server techs, and one of them is an APple geek). Everyone of them has never had a seagate last for over 12 months. That is a 100% failure of Seagate within 12 months.
Next time go for a western digital, or buffalo!
I have said it once, I will say it again. IT!

It is painfully obvious it is not a permanent thing, only an idiot would come in here thinking that kind of comment is useful. I am sure you know plenty about all this, but if you're not going to actually be helpful feel free not to comment any further.
