Hi,

I have searched for it but i coulnd find the answer of MY problem.

I have an external HDD and when i try to connect it with my laptop it doesnt show up at all not even "not reconizing" just nothing.

The thing is sometimes it does get detected and sometimes it doenst and its really anoying. I have to take out the usb and put it back in for several times before my laptop detect it but now it just will not detect it at all.

Please help me,

Thanks in advance,

The V

make certain it is the drive itself is at fault & not the drive enclosure.
