Question about FireLite (USBFLB80) Hard Drive

1 Answer

Hard Drive isn't recognized when it is connected to the computer

I just got the Sandisk Firelite a few months ago and it was working fine, until I tried to delete a rather large file. It first said the trash was empty, but there were still a few files left in the trash. Now it is not being recognized by either my Macbook or my boyfriend's Macbook. The light does come on when it is connected and under "About this Mac" it is listed in the USB section, but it never appears on the desktop even after 20 minutes. Help!

    Same problem on the MAC.. Accidently closed the computer and now it will not show up on the desktop. Is there a replacement driver available to replace the lost software? I have tried to "mount" it through the utility, but it says there is a problem and will not repair or verify disk...


    Thanks,

Sounds like there is an issue with the drive itself. How old is it? it may be that you need to replace it.

Power connection, but no Data (Mac)

The first and simple thing to do is to try a different data cable and see if it works. If it doesn't work then may be it has crashed and you can probably recover it using a recover tool like Recoversoft Data data rescue Pc. Th trial version will let you determine whether you can recover or not. If the differnt cable thing wont work then let me know and i will walk you thru the data recovery process using Recoversoft Data data rescue Pc.

Firelite 160gb HD not recognized

Make sure that there is no "HD protection", in which the hard drive can only be connected to one computer. Also, try going to google and searching for some drivers for your computer to download and install. Then try plugging your hard drive in again.
