I went away for a week on vacation an came back to find out my external hard drive won't work properly. It was off for the week. When I tried to plug it back in, the computer detected it but it disappeared from My Computer about 2 seconds later. It would repeat this until I unplugged it again.

It isn't new and I have about 170GB on it so I'd like to be able to recover it

Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

I don't know but have you tried a different USB port?

Is it powered from USB or separate power supply?

To be honest I don't even know what brand it is There's no brand name on it. It's 300GB, connects via USB 2.0 and runs on AC power.

@link: yeah, I've tried all the USB ports on my case.


In the device manager, it says WDC WD32 00AAKS-75VYA0 for the few seconds it is recognized but I can't find anything on google related to it

Fix't. I should've known this but I looked for regular internal HD's and found the model number. Turned out to be a WD Cavier 320GB SATA drive. My guess is the external case was bad.

Thanks menzo.

Mods can close if they like.
