Wd 1600bev external hard disk is not supported in winxp service pack2 and i dont get a driver for wd1600bev

SOURCE: WD 250 GB external hard drive is not being detected by system

Hi !

First check if your WD is running (spinning), no matter if the blue light is on. Can you hear it close with your ear, or feel vibrations on your hand when it starts.

If it runs, then check/replace the USB cable you are using with another.
Check the Power supply if it gives necessary power.


If you are familliar with disassembling/assembling, then open and remove the HDD from the box and try to connect the disc directly to your PC (using another HDD Data/Power cables).

If it runs, and you can acces it, then something is wrong with the Box.

If it doesn't, then the HDD is broken or damaged.

Please note that if your device is under warranty, DO NOT open the box ! Contact your seller for service/replacement instructions.

Regards.

Hi guys,

I don't know if this will help you but just had same infuriating problem with my Western Digital Essential Book 250GB.
I wiped my PC and reinstalled windows and hey presto! It couldn't see my drive and I tried for a while pulling out the USB and trying different ports...
I connected it to my laptop and got the same problem, had a fit and pulled the mains plug and then plugged it back in... And it kicked in! I put it back on the PC (USB in but power off, then plugged it in the mains) and it kicked in there too.
Therefore I suggest trying the drive with another system to boot it. Once the laptop recognised it, so then did the PC. Also try unplugging it completely, putting the USB in THEN the power supply...

Might have just been a fluke but hope it helps someone here...!

load the driver for mac use, the external hard drive comes with cd, the mac driver should be inside, load it to your mac computer. if you donot have the cd go online to western digital and download it. just load the driver and u will be fine, make sure u connect the cable in right places.

I think your machine could be affected with a virus. Most of the viruses do that to block you to access the hard disk or any external media. Try this good antivirus that i have come across the net its a demo version that works for 30 days but it will do you good.
