Samsung G3 Station - Samsung G3 Station 2TB USB 2.0 External HX-DU020EC Hard Drive

please check it on some other system..running windows 7

Yeah that does sound like a potential failure in the harddrive itself. I would advise taking it to a local computer repair shop that can diagnose the hard drive. They will tell you if its failing or not. Typically these diagnostics are free depending where you take it.

Also yes encrypting hard drives are good for protecting your data from unwanted access, however when you do encrypt it and then the hard drive starts to fail, it becomes very difficult for data recovery.

Almost 40% of all buyers of that drive have problems with-it. Turn it in for a better unit.

Take it back to where you bought it, and EXERCISE THE WARRANTY to get it replaced/repaired.

I had the same problem. Searched for a G3 Station image on the web and I've created an icon (*.ico file) to replace the missing one. Unfortunately windows didn't replace the missing icon withe the one I made, but at least it changed to the defaut icon for hard drives... same the OS uses forall other drives... so I guess it's ok.
Probably the reason for the missing icon is cause we deleted or moved the native files that samsung ships with the product.
Good Luck!

No, It is cheaper to buy a new one.
