PC hp6000 1.9 mhg [mhz] with eGO portable h/d?
what is your o/s [operating system]? win_xp,Win_me,Win_98 ???
Does the h/d have a USB cord, replace it with a known good one.
Change to another usb plug on pc. [from usb #1 to usb#2]
Do you mean "FIRE WALL" for fire wire ?
goto CONTROL PANEL>system>HARDWARE>DEVICE MANAGER try to find the eGO h/d and uninstall it. reboot the computer with the H/D NOT CONNECTED!! after rebooting the computer plug in the h/d with the USB ,the computer should see it.

EGo portable hard drive works with desktop with one internal hard drive installed, however if desktop has two hard drives eGo will not work

right click on my computer and choose manage.
computer management will appear.
go down to disk management
if you see your ego drive listed there
right click on it and choose change drive letter and paths
choose a drive letter that isn't in use like F or G.
you should now be able to browse or view the ego drive in my computer. or by going to run and type the drive letter you choose.

you can cut and paste or just copy the media to the external hard drive. and copy it back if the data is ever lost from your computer, also you can have iTunes use the external hard drive to get media from. So you can free up valuable space on your pc's hard drive by just cut and pasting the iTunes folder to it.
