Western Digital Passort

Explorer not recognizing the drive. It is getting power, and you can hear the rpms start up - and then nothing. I have been using this drive for about 6 months.

    Already tried this. No good. crummy

  • technohello Feb 21, 2008



    When I plug in the device I can hear it click and see the device under "my computer" but I do not have the U3 Launcher and the device is totally blank. This is the 2GB. I have the 1 GB with no problems. The guy on the Office Depot help line said these are now made by a different company.

CAN YOU ADD A PASSWORD TO PROTECT YOUR DATA STORED ON THE WD PASSORT?
A little program called TrueCrypt can make a flash drive/portable hard drive set up for password protection.
Makers site->http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/517/cpsid_51791.html
Keep in mind that this is not the only one out there, but this is the easiest to set up.
Good luck and do not forget to rate me :)

Western Digital external drive not responding
Unplug it and plug it in to a different USB port, shut down the computer
and while the computer is off, turn on the drive.

Then restart windows with the drive on, now after windows starts, wait about 5-10 minutes, if the drive does not start to blink, (the light),
then go to there website and get there hard drive Diagnostic disk,
you can download it.

This is the download page, read the instructions on how to run the tester on the drive.

I bought a Western Digital 640GB external hard drive about 6 weeks ago and installed it just fine. Have been using it (only used about 50GB) for 6 weeks with no problems. Today a notice appeared from Memeo...
This trial software expiration shouldn't prevent the external drive from working. The drive should be visible in "My Computer", Windows Explorer etc. A quick way to determine if the drive does have a problem, is plug it into another system- if it works there, then you have some sort of problem on the first machine- likely a software bug- or maybe some virus has fouled things up.

Western digital 500 gig hd eide disc error????
Take it back to the store - this is a common problem with WD drives and WD are doing nothing to address this issue with their larger drives. Buy another make and you should be trouble free.
