Hello Donnie, Here are two ideas that might help you with your external hard drive problem.
1. It may be a power problem. You can purchase an external hard drive enclosure from almost any where that sells computer parts. Once you get the external drive enclosure, take the external hard drive out of the current enclosure and put it into the new one and it might work. 2. I have heard that if you have a faulty drive, you can put it in the freezer for a while and some times this lets the drive work long enough to get your data off of the drive. I have never needed to use the freezer idea, but I have put old drives into drive enclosure kits. If you go with the drive enclosure kit idea, make sure that the kit will match the type of drive you currently have.

When I unplug the USB cord, it lights up for just about 30 seconds and then it quits again. Is there any way I can get the stuff I have on it off before it completely quits working. I can't even open it at this point. Thanks, Donnie Have a great day, unless you have made other plans. ~~~~~ To receive my Daily Devotion, Word Of Wisdom & Daily Bible reading, please send an email to: [email protected] Then, reply to the confirmation email that you will receive from Yahoo Groups, and you will be on the list.
