portable hard drive keeps connecting and disconnecting image
Diondre Th
Earlier I was at least able to access it but when I click on a file it would freeze my laptop until i disconnect the hard dive from it. The problem may be that hard dive is corrupt. It got disconnect mid way through transferring a 100 MB file from my laptop to my portable hard drive. Now when my hard drive is connected to my laptop, every minute or two I get 2 messages saying " you need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it"and "you need to format the disk in drive H: before you can use it". by the way it works on my Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360

Try rebooting with it plugged in, sometimes that well restart the file transfer.

You can try unplugging then replugging the hard drive a few times. That includes the data cable (if any) and the power cord. I suspect either the driver or a system file is corrupted.
You can also try to visit that portable hard drives manufacturer web site and look for support links. Maybe they have a solution or some file you can download to your computer that might help.
But don't be surprised if the drive is dead.
I use two large capacity memory sticks to backup all my data (not the applications since I have their CDs and DVDs). In case one breaks, I purchase another memory stick and transfer everything from the good stick to the new stick. This way I always have two backups.
I am also considering purchasing an external hard drive that will be used strictly for backing up files. So the only time I connect it is when I do my weekly backups. Otherwise, it remains disconnected and powered off. That will lenghten it's life since the internal disks won't be spinning the whole time.
