External HDD Problem

by terrance.mckinnon . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

Hello

I am having a problem with Ext HDD.

First of all, it was working two days ago while I was doing my lab assignments for MS servers, Web Server, and Red Hats via MVmare.

Yesterday, it went dead… I spent 4 hours to figure out what it caused…

Situation:
1. “Green Light” is full solid as HDE, but the red light is not on.

2. HDD is spinning while the power is on. Also, I feel that “needle” is moving like running some data every 5 seconds…

3. USB cord is not connected with my Laptop.. XP version does not pick up the HDD. I have switched with other USB cords and Desktop PC… same problem.

Is it possible USB firewire problem or corrupted data?

Sorry, HDD does not have the name of manufacture/company. I brought from second hand retail store like Computer Factory.

Thanks and heading to next class…
