Troubleshooting
PROBLEM: Windows stops responding when I disconnect the external hard drive.
ANSWER: This may occur because Windows is trying to access a file that is on exter-
nal hard drive. Make sure that none of the files on the disk are open when you un-
plug the drive. Be sure to stop the drive before disconnecting the power or adapter
cable to prevent any data loss.
PROBLEM: The drive is not recognised by my computer.
ANSWER: Restart your computer.
PROBLEM: The hard drive does not seem to have as much storage capacity as I
allocated.
ANSWER: Check that your operating system and file system support the desired
amount.
PROBLEM: ScanDisk reports an unrecoverable error.
ANSWER: The Scandisk program tests drives for errors. If ScanDisk finds a problem
and is unable to fix it, there may be a problem with the hard disk
