Hi,

Even though it is possible that your USB hard driveis corrupt, but

before you finally conclude, try out these few troubleshooting

steps.

First of all, it is possible that the USB port that you are using is a

USB 1.0 port, which has a lower voltage not enough to

power on your Storage drive.

In this case, there are two things you can do,

1. Change the USB port you are using for the storage drive to a

USB 2.0 one (Just keep Checking all the ports one by one in case

you dont know which one it is).

2. If your Storage drive has external power facility, just plug it in

an external power first, before connecting it to the system.

If there are no USB 2.0 Ports on your system at all,

then just go to any electronic store and tell them you want to buy

a USB 2.0 Expansion card.

and if it is a laptop, A USB 2.0 PCMCIA card.

Install it on your system, and connect your external drive through it.

Meanwhile, before you try out the second option, test the drive on

a friend's system, that you are sure has a very good system, with

USB 2.0 port.

If after trying out all these, the USB Drive still doesn't work, then

I'm afraid, the drive might have been bad/spoilt.

Kindly keep me posted about the problem and let me know how it

goes

Hope this helps you out.

Thank you for using Fixya

Goodluck

You now need to reformat the drive to FAT32 or NTFS system.
Click start/control panel/admin tools/computer management/.

On R?H side select disc management. All drives will be displayed and you can format the drive by right click and select format.

When a hard drive makes a clicking noise and you cannot access data off this drive, then it is faulty. The only solution is to replace this hard drive.
If you need to retrieve data off this drive, then there are companies that can recover data off faulty hard drives, BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services.

your hard drives logic card has bursted
so contact to your's hard drive recovery console

When the HDD was fornatted, was it formatted appropriately? It's quite possible to format a 160GB HDD to present a smaller amount of space.

Try to turn it off and quickly turn it on again in a split second.

And buy a second hard disk just in case.
