HI thereAre you certain that there are not any viruses or less dangerous things that should not be there hanging on the explorer. Try Firefox.hope this works out for youkol

check all leads from motherboard to hard drive including electrical extensions and all of your cd/dvd drives make sure connections are secure dust free and not faulty computers need all power and data to travel through every working device and to finish its cycle so any faulty lead will end in computer error or shutdown or fail to boot make sure your computers RAM modules are securely seated with no dust in the sockets also the Cmos battery has charge and seated with no dust in the sockets some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in might be getting hot check your CPU make sure it has a thermal paste and a dust free and secure seating could be a memory dump you might be running to many programs at the one time placing to much strain on the CPU you might not have enough RAM random access memory hope this helps you

The hard drive has an intermittent problem in the circuit board, as it heats up it will tend to disconnect randomly. The cause could be poor solder joints to a part that is on the verge of failure.

Run a check disk on your driveMy computer > Properties > Tools > Check disk (in Windows 7 it's Error Checking)sounds like your drive is on the way to dying, i'd recommend looking for a replacement drive.

The most common cause of this in my experience is not enough amperage available at the USB port. If you're using a front/top case port, try switching to one of the ones at the back of the case that is connected directly to the motherboard. If that doesn't work, you can use an externally powered USB hub, which usually solves the problem as long as the hub has a 2A or better power supply.

Hope this helps.

Hi jennielakato It is not easy to recover files from a formatted hard drive, but it is not impossible. Data written onto a Hard Drive or other storage device is not deleted by formatting. Formatting is a BIOS instruction to the Operating System, defining areas on the write/read surface of the hard Drive to and from which the Operating System can and cannot write and read data. Any data written prior to formatting is still there, under the formatting, it's just that the Operating System is instructed to ignore it. Retrieving this lost data requires the Hard Drive to be removed and connected with a Hard Drive Dock, and External Hard Drive Enclosure or a USB to IDE/SATA Adapter Cable to a 2nd Computer with specialist Data Recovery software installed on it, such as: NTFS Deleted File Recovery(http://win.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=Deleted+File+Recovery&x=7&y=11) EasyRecovery Prohttp://win.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=EasyRecovery+Pro&Submit=Search&license_filter=0&results_per_page=20&lastupd_filter=0&sort_field=0 Power data Recovery http://win.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=Power+data+Recovery&Submit=Search&license_filter=0&results_per_page=20&lastupd_filter=0&sort_field=0 GetDataback for NTFShttp://win.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=GetDataback+for+NTFS&Submit=Search&license_filter=0&results_per_page=20&lastupd_filter=0&sort_field=0 Undelete Plushttp://win.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=Undelete+Plus&Submit=Search&license_filter=0&results_per_page=20&lastupd_filter=0&sort_field=0 Active File Recoveryhttp://win.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=Active+File+Recovery&Submit=Search&license_filter=0&results_per_page=20&lastupd_filter=0&sort_field=0 Since Data Recovery applications work by jigsaw-puzzling matching but dislocated File Fragments back together, it is more difficult to recover data if any new data has been written onto the Hard Drive after formatting. Since different Recovery applications use a variety of heuristic data matching algorithms, some more effective than others, it worthwhile trying a variety of different applications, if the lost data is important.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for using FixYa

if the drive doesnt show up in "my computer" then I'm afraid you have damaged it! you could try opening it up and see if there is anything loose/broken that may be fixable? Hope this helps,

Did you try running software from windows to try repairing it? disc scan etc, There is plenty of help on your computer or on the net to repair lost or corrupt files and most of it is free, Treat it like it is the internal hdd on your own computer but tell your computer to scan that disk instead of its own internal hdd, it does work as i use this method myself, Go to start-my computer-you should see your external hdd there, Right click and go down to properties, Click on that and go to tools, Use tools from the drop down menu and try repair it from there, There will be one called check now and tick both boxes, Hope this helps,

1. this sounds like you have a virus.
If you have a anti virus program update and run it.
check the capacity of the hard int he properties (my computers) or if windows 7 computer.

Hi. Please try formatting again but from another computer. Also it can be a virus or malware try scanning it with antimalwarebytes and and your antivirus software i recommend avast free version. If you can't open it you might have erased the drivers needed to access the gadget try re installing them you can download them from the manufacturer official page or sometimes they come with a cd when you purchased the HDD. Hope it helps
