My freeagent go drive is not recognized by the computer at all

I had a similar problem and I had to "Delete Volume" when in DIsk Management. I then had a choice to "Create Simple Volume" which I did, and then a wizard created the correct partitions and assigned a drive letter to my external drive. Everything was them OK.

It sounds like the drive is failing. So you will need data recovery services.

A remote service is http://FreeDataRecovery.us

Connect it to a different computer. If it still is not detected, then there is a hardware problem. Exercise the warranty to get it repaired/replaced.

i had a few problems myself and i figured out that the plug was busted inside so i got a new 1 and it works :)

I plugged mine's directly through the back of my computer instead of the hub in the front and it's working fine.

As administrator:
Click Start->Right click My Computer and choose 'Manage'
The Computer Management window will open.
Click on Disk Management and you should see the rive listed in the right-hand pane, without a drive letter assigned.
Right click on this drive and assign it a letter, like Q.
You'll now see drive Q (or whatever letter you picked) in the regular drive list.

my iqube extenal hard drive is not working was dropd down, I have tryed plag and play and it shows the light and fun inside working and when you staart uyou can ear like its start but stops after few seconds

You shouldn't need an instruction manual. Insert the USB plug into a USB port. Windows will recognize a new device. Then go to "My Computer". Find the USB drive, right-click on it and choose format. You probably want to format it as FAT32 if you are going to use this drive on multiple computers (for compatibility), otherwise format in NTFS.

Hope this helps - remember to rate :)

I suspect an IRQ conflict in this case. where one day things are workig fine and the next day they are not because the IRQ conflict has made it's self known.

if no IRQ conflict is present , I would suspect a dead drive , time to replace the ole girl. these things happen , touchy equipment , buggy driver sets , you name it , things will however improve.


and remember if it's not hebrew , it's a lie :-> shalom

Hello, Did you try to use this drive on another computer? Did you have the same problem? Did you try using a different cable? I would try these things first in order to determine if the problem is with the drive or with the computer. Good Luck! Dr. Know
