any help would be appreciated on this.

I got a new hp computer and it came with a portable hard drive, I transfered some files from my old laptop to the portable drive. the problem is now, no computer can detect the usb hard drive, the hard drive is still under warranty. but I don't want to send the hard drive back to hp with my info on it, but if I break it open it won't be under warranty anymore.

when i plug the hard drive in to my laptop and hp, it says usb device not recognize, or has malfunctioned. I can never get access to it, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer
My Computer>right-click Manage>Device Manager.

Uninstall all USB controllers. Reboot. It should recognize it then.

can you put a portable hard drive on your netbook to have more space?

im getting an hp mini 1035 and i was thinking because it has such little space that, if i can get a portable hard drive and store music on there from my old computer and play it on he netbook?
also will the portable hard drive make the netbook slower?

Answer
Yeah, of course you can get a external hard drive for your netbook! It's a wise choice, the hard drive will be connected through the USB port on your netbook, it will not decrease the speed of your computer, even if so, only a little.
