Try connecting it to another computer and if it also slows down, something is probably wrong with your external hard drive and you should get a new one.

It should be ready to use. You can name it. Perhaps you need to "format" the drive. Right-click the drive icon, and select "format"

Buy a new one on Amazon. They are not expensive and are essentially throw away items.

You must input password protection, if you don't want it then don't set up any password.

Your question can't be answered due to it being too vauge and bad spelling.....

Delete its partition / partitions using windows disk manager and recreate partition.

No hard drive in the last 30 years needed drivers installed except for a short time when SATA hard drives first hit the market with Windows2000 and XP. I believe that is an external drive usually used for backups. You did not post your operating system, and if this is a new drive or one you have had for some time. So I will use Windows7 and assume this is a new purchase:>Try a different cable and a different USB port in case the cable or port went bad. It happens.>Plug the drive into a different computer. Is it recognized?>Go into Device Manager; is it listed?>Enter Control Panel/System & Security/Administrative Tools/Create & Format Hard Disk Partitions. Is your drive shown there? If it is, Right click on it, then click Mark Partition as Active. Does your computer see it now?If the answer is no to all the above, the drive probably failed.

make sure that all leads that attach to your cd: drive are secure and are not faulty

Hi,

see if the player tries to read the disc. Load a disc and listen.
Does the player make squealing noises or is it totally quiet? Squealing noises may indicate that the player is trying to synchronize with the disc but can't due to an obstruction on the lens or in the laser path inside the pickup or a defect in the pickup. This can also be caused by an intermittent signal problem due to a faulty ribbon cable.

Totally silent means that the photo sensor is not getting any usable input from the laser at all, meaning that the pickup is "blind" for lack of a better word.
This can be caused by an obstruction of the beam by foreign matter on the lens or inside the pickup all the way to a marginal or failed laser diode and/or photosensor array. This can also be caused by a bad ribbon cable with one or more severed traces.

You could try to clean the optics. This is the most common malfunction as far as i know in all disc players. It would involve taking the cover off and finding a way to expose the lense, and then cleaning it with a very gentle brush. some players have a cover for the lense that swings to the side during playing, this greatly reduces the chance of dust accumulating, but its still worth the try.

If you actually see dust on the lense, then its just that simple. clean, close, play.


It may also be worth your while to check on the small shafting that guides the carriage of the laser pickup. Dirt, grome, dust and solidified lubricant can cause stoppage of the carriage and the laser eye then fails to read the next track. Please refer to the image i have attached.
