Your internal drive is different than your external drive. If you put more files onto your SimpleTech drive, then that one is going to fill up faster. The best thing to do would be to go through your SimpleTech drive and delete anything that you don't need. I don't remember my SimpleTech drive coming with any software on the drive, but if it did, it didn't take up much space.

try using the device on another PC.

If formatting is not working, means there is some problem in the data segments of the disk.

thanks,

simpletech is a plug and play device compatible with vista and xp. you dont need a software to use it unless you wanted to access the quick backup button function when you press the simpletech logo. software is available at their support website: www.simpletech.com/support/

It may require a driver from Simpletech to function.

SimpleTech has problems with their controller board. The HDD inside probably still works fine. You might want to get an external chassis and take the hard drive from the SimpleTech and put it into the external chassis. You will need a sata one.

You may not be able to fix the same. You have to find a chip level repair shop

i have a feeling its not the hard drive thats bad i think it sounds like the case .
you can try buying another case and transfering the hard drive to it the case is around $20.00
