My son has had two stop working.
I wont see him until the end of the week so will ask him.
Thanks
If the portable HD's have stopped working for some reason & can't be accessed via a computers OS not all is lost. Either myself or I could recommend someone else to extract the info off the failed drive & transfer it to another drive.
Just an option if he gets stuck.
Click on the start menu. right click on computer this will give you a drop down menu. click on properties at the very bottom & this should bring up a basic information page which will have the version of windows your running in it.
unless your using Apple & in that case I can't help you cos I wont touch them myself.
"May be infected by unknown virus Win32/DH.00000000{00008001-00000000-00000000}";"c:\System Volume Information\_restore{233BEA63-C0D4-46EF-8798-50C0E8520D96}\RP662\A0133883.exe";"Object is inaccessible.";"2/12/2011, 8:22:05 AM";"file";"C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe"
This keeps coming up on my laptop.
Ok..... with yours I nned you to go back & do the same as you did before to get to the basic info page, then find the hardware tab at the top of the page click that & in the new page find the device manager button.
Once you click on that it will open a new page with a list of items in it. If you only have one item here it should be the word computer with an "X" marked box. click on the "X" marked box & should brop down a list.
In that list if the is any listing with a question make or an exclamation make post back which item is marked please.
