I cannot comfort you with an easy solution. Take it to another computer tech place and see if they can help you extract info. If there is internal damage to the physical drive, there is very little chance of recovering anything short of spending lots of money. Has any tried to hook it up to another machine and tested it? If you rate this as not helpful, understand that there is no other way to solve this issue. Backing up info on CD/DVD, flashdrive, or an external hard drive will help in the future. Sorry to hear about the family issues and hope you can resolve that too. Good luck

250gb harddrive computer only reads as 2.5gb\
I presume you set up this hard drive as the second hard drive, or as an external drive. You can do these:
1. Disk Management (check the unallocated space if any):
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management (please run as administrator; right click it), Disk Management. Is this hard drive info exist in this screen? If it is, then the hard drive is not bad.
Click on the hard drive info, right click, and you can do some actions (format, expand the volume, assign a drive letter, etc.)
2. If necessary, test and fix it using Norton Utilities (download and run it):

Hello my name karen and i have a stupid question how do i copy and paste my files from my home computer or lap top files to my portable iomega hard drive
Very simple! These instructions are for PC, if you have a Mac just say so
  • When you have the hard drive plugged in, it will show up in the "My Computer" folder. Open the folder that appears. That is where you will put the files.
  • Next, make a new window and find the files you want to copy.
  • Right click a file, choose "Copy"
  • Go to the Hard Drive window, right click the empty space, and choose "paste"
  • Do that for each file until all of them have been copied
  • If there are a lot of files, choose the fist one on the list, scroll to the bottom, hold the Shift button, and click on the last file. That will choose all of them. repeat the right click method above.
  • Please reply if you have any more questions. Good luck! (Please give a thumbs up, I am doing this for a summer job!)

This issue is related to the hard drive, Have you dropped the hard drive at any time recently? If so then you may have lost your data. Since the hard drive is makeing a beeping noise then the head has died meaning the hard drive is dead hope this helps.

I need general info on using an external hard drive. My computer is full and I'm unsure if I should replace the computer or start moving thing to the external hard drive. Also, I keep getting a message...
The drive will be assigned a letter. Find it in my computer. You can right click on any file and select send to and send it to the external drive. Basically you now have a backup of that file. Now you can delete the origional off the main hard drive and just read the file from the external drive. As far as the icons right click and select find target. That will show you were the file is and you can delete it.

Hard drive dropped, now not working
The beeping/clicking sound usually means your hard drive isnt far from "death."
You should be backing up all your data and yes, you can find people who get info back from hard drives, but this is very expensive.

Acomdata external harddrive is not recognize on vista
I had a similar issue with windows 2008 and windows 7. the drive lost all its info and had to be reinitialized under both of those O.S.'s..
You can try that as long as it doesn't have any data you need.. Once you do that the drive will work and you can start using it. The file system under vista and above is slightly different than xp.
