Keeps shutting down even when i troubleshoot n remove harddisk

This is an external HDD, right ? In such case it's good to realise, such devices are a combination of an external USB enclosure and an internal SATA Harddisk. Maybe the harddisk is still OK, but the PCB (print with all tiny electronic components soldered at it) is defective. In such case you can overcome your problem by simply buying a new USB enclosure (even non-name will do) and put your harddisk in it.
To check if the harddisk is damaged, you should remove this by opening the Iomega casing and connect this disc inside a PC to it's motherboard. If the harddisc is working again, you're lucky. If not, than even the harddisk is damaged. If this is, and the data at your disc is important, you can try to source a identical harddisk (brand, type and productiondate) and transplant it's PCB. But, I can asure you, this last option is a tricky step.

Hi Sir/Madam
Remove the harddisk from sata enclosure,
connect it as internal harddisk and check still not working give it to warranty or service

it is because some process may e working with the files on the harddisk.or some windows may be open.

Dear what you tried is best only apart from there no solutions from front end, check your system is rebooting or not. Please take backup of all data from your harddisk then put recovery C.D for restore your laptop O/S .

it's gone...fel down....i am sure it's inside is disturbed

is the car deiseling out .. what i mean is sputtering when you turn the key off and just not shutting down or is it running like you never even removed the key??? If it is chugging when you turn it off and not shutting down it sounds like the timing belt... hope this helps

Hi, May be the harddisk is not recognizing. Restart your laptop and go for BIOS and check whether the harddisk is recognized.

your harddisk bootup file missing or your harddisk may be not connected properly or bad harddisk

remove your harddisk and insert again
if problem still continue

so you need windows98 bootable or NTFS partition reader cd and backup your data

try going onto computer and see if it has removable disk right click and open or try putting usb in another port or if a disk came with it put that in .

Mcafee is not always solution provider. Use Node32 or Kesperskey antivirus. But as u say a blue error screen is coming u better need to format your pc. Format it and reinstall new OS. It is good solution because if you wait for something then virus might have affected many of your files. Then it can harm your harddisk. So better you format it and then u will have gud access to internet. Next time you download some good antivirus and run it live during accessing internet.
