Either you need to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and software and Check the cable and your usb ports are all working properly or your HD is done.

If its xp or older OS it will not but in 4 partitions of 80 it will but most be done by outside programs most times.

ensure it hasnt damaged and that you didn't passed a magnetic field through it, so that you damaged the sytem files of the hard drive...

since your talking about the External drives, a lot of reasons makes this happen. if the resolution above link cant help you, then try this:

Make sure that update the driver of your PC hard drive. Usually, this errors appear if your moving from one hard drive brand to another ex: seagate to samsung etc....

updated hard drive driver resolve this.

Make sure the cables are alright. Or at least have the latest service pack. USB drivers causes issues as well. I updated mine and the problem did not crop up anymore. hope this would help.

Hi,
don't panic your hard drive might still be working . you say it dose not sign showing it's on. please have any cable that connect the hard disk to the computer checked. I think your cables might be bad.
thanks

The round lights on the front of the drive are actually power off/on button. Have you tried pressing it? I know it's simple, but you never know. :)
