Iomega error : unable to change descriptive name

i have the same problem too, it only happened the other day, very annoying

1. You conect the devide
2. you go to my pc
3. you copy the data to that folder usually it has the name of the devide

good luck :)

From your description it appears that your drive is failing, likely due to bad sectors. To be sure you can check the drive using the free trial version of http://www.hdtune.com/

But I expect you will need data recovery help this a good choice for low cost and fast data recovery. All data recovery work is performed remotely over the Internet from a boot cd that you download and the best part is they just ask for donations: http://FreeDataRecovery.us

Or another reasonably priced choice but you need to ship out the drive is: http://300dollardatarecovery.com

Bet the drive is toast. Get the correct software and do diagnostics on drive to confirm

Fatal Error 5 is normally indicative of a Disk Failure. Because the OS can't read the portions of the drive.

First of all I would check what the file system is on your iOmega drive. If it is FAT32, then it will be unable to handle any files over 4GB in size.

If necessary, reformat it to a Mac friendly file system and retry.

If this doesn't help, please repost your problem including the exact text of any erro messages that you receive.

Hope this helps!

right click my computer.
click manage
selest disk management
right click to drive-H
select change path 7 name of drive
change it to any letter except lettur used for your other drives
thats it it is done.

This is really not a solution, but you should all try to connect your iomega to a imac, and use the Disk Utility (in Utilities folder), if you have any luck the hard drive will be recognized and you will be able to format it

I had the same problem, but what I did was so helpful. I changed my mail to "Mail Classic" and I have no problem. I hope it works for you, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have version 2.0 or earlier of the Iomega Tools software installed on the Windows 98-based computer, you may receive the following error message after you start your computer: Error loading dll, scsint.dll
Cause:
This issue occurs because the Windows 98 version of the Iomega Tools software is not compatible with Windows 2000 and Up Operating System.

To resolve this issue, upgrade the Iomega Tools software, known as IomegaWare, to the most recent Windows compatible version of the software from the following Iomega Web site:
