20 Most Recent LaCie Rikiki Go 1TB USB 2.0 Portable - Silver - 301946 Hard Drive Questions & Answers

You can buy USB 3 cables online. like the

5ft USB 3.0 Superspeed Black Cable Cord for Seagate Backup Plus 4TB 3TB 1TB 500G on Amazone for $8.00

USB 3 0 Cable eBay Perhaps other firms are cheaper? Perhaps your local electronic store has these cables in stock?

This could be an issue where the part of the hard drive you are trying to access is corrupt and not accessible which would explain the reason that it would let you access the other partition.

Now I have seen cases where Malware can break the link of a Hard Drive.

So let's try a couple of steps.

Let's go back in to "Disk Management"

Lets right click on the partition that you are not able to access and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths"

Now try selecting a new Drive Letter.

This will restore the path if it has been broken.

There are also Data Recovery programs that might be very helpful to recover your important information.

Hello roblau99:
First lets try this. Shutdown your laptop and reboot. Once your up and running, plug in your portable hard drive. You might try a different USB port. If windows doesn't let you know its there then you need to look for it by going into your administration tools menu. Of course this depends on what version of windows your are running, if it is windows.
Maybe you can answer this? Have you been disconnecting that hard drive without telling windows you are going to disconnect it first? If the answer is yes you may have corrupted that drive which is why windows is not recognizing it.
Good Luck and just let me know if you need more help.
Sincerely, Peter N.

The computer at the Internet Cafe' probably was virus-infected, and the computer-virus wrote a computer-virus onto your USB memory-stick.

Just click "cancel" to that "which program" prompt.

Then, open "My Computer", and right-mouse-click on the icon for the USB device, and click "Explore", to view the files/folders.

Hi.

This is normal. You will never get all the capacity for a USB key or a hard drive. The missing space is for format purpose and hard drive maintenance.

Hope it helps

1. Disconnect all cables from the device.
2. Press and hold the "reset" button (located on the rear panel) for about 10 seconds.
3. Wait for the device to restart and initialize. This may take several minutes.
4. Reconnect the cables to the device and try accessing it again.

Note: It's recommended to backup all data stored on the device before performing a factory reset, as all data will be lost during the reset process.

Check the data recovery programme used for an idea or start again now you have your data back by re initialising and formatting the drive as a new one.

Depending on your OS, use your disc utility and see if it has been initialised or not. If not initialise it and then you can format and use it as normal.

Did you get it fix ? Have the same drive and forget the password!! Need help
