Question about LaCie Computers & Internet
The connector to the plug appears damaged, blue light blinks. Also, I might have "overloaded" the drive (there was almost 100 gig left btw) - but I did get a message saying that the drive was full.
Only want to retrieve data at this point. Is there a way to hook up the drive (if I take the case off, as suggested on other forums) to the PC?
Product is no longer in warranty.

if you can get another hard drive and place it in the enclosure plug usb cable in then turn on the enclosure and see if this works if doesnt place it on another unit or pc and see if it accepts if it does then the usb drivers need to be re-installed goto my computer device manager and find usb it looks like a trident hilight this and click uninstall from menu list in properties then on the top of manager there will be a computer with a spyglass click on this and windows will find new devices let it continue then reboot then re-try enclosure if all goes well it will come up found new device. retry other hdd you first placed in enclosure if it dosen't feel hdd is turning the platters then get rid of hdd. hope this goes well

Find the drive on the bottom section, right-click it and assign an unused drive letter of your choice. It should then appear in windows explorer.

its possible that you can still get the data from the external drive..just separate the harddrive from the case and use another external casing to access the harddrive or just add it your desktop...hope this helps...ITTech7574

SOURCE: I dropped my Western digital 1TB hard drive.
The case maybe damage, so could the hard disk.
First try connecting to your computer or to an USB hard drive adapter, if it works then you know the hard drive is OK and you only need to buy a new USB hard drive adapter case.
WinHex is a edit program that allows to you see and modify the data files on the hard disk in ASCII and HEX format. If the hard disk is faulty no programs can access the data on the hard disk.
There are data recovery companies that can recover data from damages/faulty hard disk BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services.

Safe to ignore. It will blink even when the computer appears to be idle.
