Why won't my simple drive 1 TB 96300-41001-170 not work?

yes you can fixed it replase cover and and cut hdd and buy new rak out side and conected the new rak with hdd that is very esy

Go to hps website and do a scan for devices. There it will tell you if there is compatible software for your equipment.

right click the drive and press format

can you try this.
Right click "my computer " the go to "Manage" and select "Disk Management"
Once there right click on the drive and delete the partition.
Then recreate th partition and let Windows format it for you.
The reason for this is that sometimes during the mass production of the drives the partition does not get created correctly and so when you try to format the drive it falls over
Hope this helps

Probably not the right answer for your problem. Mine is an external 1 TB Simple Drive. Mine wouldn't respond at all. I unplugged the power cable from the back of the hard drive and replugged it in and instantly it worked. I had tried rebooting the computer, plugging/unplugging over and over into the computer and that didn't work.

I do not know if the 1 Tb external hard will work on the USB ports on the LCD TVs.
What do you want to store on the 1 Tb USB hard drive and display on the LCD TVs?
Most LCD TVs can access USB memory sticks and display DVI movies (if supported by the TV), photos etc. that are stored on these USB memory sticks.
Try inserting an USB hard drive (borrow one if necessary, can be any capacity) into the USB port to see if it works before you decide to purchase a 1 Tb USB hard drive.
My suggestion would be to purchase a 1 Tb USB memory stick. This would out perform an external USB hard drive.

The output of your adapter is 12volts 1.5amps the outside terminal is negative polarity and your connector looks like this (see below)
There are two options of adapter (see below) both will work


EBAY Search for your adapter

disconnect it and reconnect
if its still not working then we can try the reg fix
