This isn't the place to ask for tech support. If you believe you have a problem with the drive, you should contact Western Digital - support.wdc.com

Call them. Always have 2 backups! I lost a lot of data with that hard drive, mine failed after a short time

That's interesting. I just kept mine in a box, but that was fortunate because when the new drive failed they were able to retrieve my data (again) from my original drive. I would think a computer place that does repairs could help you.Sounds like a great idea, good luck.

Its seems like hard drive crashed or died. Cannot read os or called operating system. You have to reinstall os on to system.

Couple months ago, I tried the WD Green 4TB HDD and it doesn't work. I don't know if it was the HD problem or the Plugable doesn't support it.

Is there a disk stuck in it? Try unplugging it for a moment and plug back in.

How? I hooked up my portable hard drive and it did not work! Problem is, its NTSF and not FAT32 formatted. Tried to reformat, and no go there either.

Jeff, who was the dealer you bought this computer from? I bought my piece of crap from CravingSavings. I called him and he told me I need a new hard drive. I had no way of getting the computer back to him so he sent me a new hard drive, which I had to install myself! Since thenm, I have had nothing but problems, it wasn't just the hard drive. There is so much garbage on the computer itself which was never cleaned off. Recently I had to call someone to fix it, because it froze on me and would not work at all. I wish I had the knowledge to help you with your problem....all I have to suggest is you contact the seller! Good luck I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, there probably are those occasions where items just malfunction. I have not had that experience to date (fingers crossed), but these external hard drives all seem to eventually die. The best back-up is to have two and to also use some type of internet or Cloud back up for important files and documents.

Yup. I can fix it. Your whole hard drive must be formatted and firmware update is required alongwith partition table re-creation

Almost sounds like a faulty drive. I would try plugging it into a different computer. If it still doesn't work you'll want to return it.

I suggest you run disk check on your drive. See if there are any bad sectors and lock them out. It sounds like the drive may be freezing. I'd look at returning the drive.

Exchange the drive for a new one ? The one you have is obviously bad....good luck

Have you formatted the drive already? If so, check the power/SATA cables or switch to another SATA port.

Could you plz put the HDD drive out from the device to check if there is problem with the HDD drive? Also plz check the HDD cable is well connected to the HDD drive? If you want to reset the device, you could go to the "tool" OSD menu to reset it.

Be careful - mine started making clicking sounds at the same location one night and promptly crashed an hour later, so I'm guessing it was the hard drive. I managed to reboot and reinstall using the "ghost" behind the preinstalled partition, and it functioned just fine for the next couple months until today, when I started hearing squeaky noises from the same area. I promptly shut it down and haven't opened it back up yet, but a quick search of the Asus forums also suggests hard drive issues. I've had this netbook for about 15 months, so I'm a little disappointed but not surprised I'm running into problems. You should definitely back up all your files (good practice in general anyway)!
