Mattye Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 So my 1 Terabite External Hard Drive isn't working. Plug it into the computer, windows tries to load ist drivers, but fails. So you can't open the Hard Drive.Maybe this is Karma cause it was full of Illegally obtained Movies Does anyone know how I can fix it??? Or atleast get everything off it??

Gandy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 any screenshots of the errors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Lol what brand was it ? It may be the FAT file allocation table. There's some kind of command to fix it. Usually happens when the drive is reading or writing and it suddenly turns off. Happens to computers all the time when you don't shut down properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattye Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Cheers Cupe. Will give it a try when I can be assed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Raptor Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Def do what Cupe says.... if it gets stuck on the driver stage you might be lucky and the drive might be fine.Rip it out, hook it to PC and see what happens.If you need to do data recovery, I like to use a program called GetDataBack for FAT or NTFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I said that before cupe. Psh stop copying me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
