I just bought an external hard disk yesterday (My External Hard Disk is Plug and Play type). But,now I have a problem in my PC.
The problem is:
1.Sometimes it is not detected or Took a very long time to be detected.
2.If it is detected, sometimes it is
a.Disconnected when copying a file and connected again.
or
b.Constantly changing between disconnected and connected. Even viewing what inside the external hard disk automatically disconnected.
When I’m running a CHKDSK on it, it shows a file that is completely unreadable, but in my laptop it doesn’t show that file or any file that completely unreadable.
I’m using Windows XP SP2.I’m using the same USB port that could recognize it yesterday and this afternoon. I had a problem that my external hard disk automatically disconnect yesterday and this afternoon too.
Btw,it is night in my country right now.
This problem happening this night and now it’s getting worse. I just bought it yesterday.
I just tested it in my laptop about 1 hours ago and it worked fine (my laptop OS is same as my PC). After testing in my laptop, I try plug it into my PC but it won’t detected at all.
What should I do? Please help.
