harddrive problem

Post by Davy »

back for 5 minutes and already I need support...

aiiight, I just returned from my flight and now my main external harddrive is being a bitch:

Maxton - One Touch - 500 gb

I got a steady flashing of the upper part of the LED touch button, my computer doesn't see or recognize it but it seems to start up properly. It's about 3 on&offs a second - so quite fast.

Thanks for anyone who can give me help on this.

Maybe unnormal noises? Like 'scratching' or something?

only in the beginning, but it did that every time. Once it's run a few seconds its quiet.

alright, I talked to my dad and it could've been like 6 years... possibly.

I read I could try to build out the actual harddrive and try to run it as an internal harddrive in a pc to get all the data off, do you think there is such a way?

If the drive is damaged it doesn't matter how you connect it to your computer ... the data will be gone. You really didn't backup your files on a newer drive after so long time??

That's called NAS (Network Attached Storage).
