Western Digital USB 2.0 External Enclosure + WD 160GB 7200 RPM 2MB 1600BB (USBSTHADRSA1) Drive Case Questions & Answers
When i plug my externals one or both the computer
If I understand your question, you want to change what happens when you plug your external drive in. If you're using Windows 10, go to: settings>devices>autoplay. Sometimes I get tired of answering all the questions, and simply say OK. Then the next time I do something, it doesn't work like I want it to - so I change the autoplay setting.
What kind of case enclosure (3.5) should I buy?

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

I ;have formatted the WD external drive and
You should not even try to install an operating system on an external drive. Windows looks at the "C" drive and installs programs to "C" drive. You are trying to put it on the "G" drive. You will have too many problems and wish you never had tried. Buy a larger main drive and partition it with two equal partitions. Then "Dual Boot". You will find how to do this on the internet. Just Google "Dual Booting".
Sir,
I have a Lenovo laptop.
If your HARD DRIVE was exposed to a magnetic field, this can happen.
Try a scandisck run.
Boot up in safe mode and run fix disk.
Cannot format my WD 1TB external hard drive
The hard disk is having bad sectors on its first 3000 sectors.the bad sectors are caused by degradation of the platter of the hard disk.OR the factory area of the hard disk has certain files called SMART, G -LIST and other log files.Unless one empties those log files with a good tool , one cant format ones hard disk.

This is likely a couple problems;
1. The hard drive is dying or is dead. You're looking at hardware recovery if this is the case. There are some tools such as Spinrite that might be able to recover the disk. (

2. The power supply on the computer/laptop is not functioning as well as it used to. Try using another PC to see if there's any difference in results.

Remove the drive from the external case it is in and connect directly to your computer - see if the bios recognizes it. If so, the OS will do so also and you can access it. Also means the electronics of the external case are no good. If not recognized in other machine, the hard drive has gone to hard drive heaven and needs to be replaced.
I'm using a western digital external fp with usb. The usb connection is not working.
Hi John,
Try to connect it with your friend's system/Laptop. If it works then there is some problem with your system. If you are facing the same problem after testing with your friend's system then try it with the new cable.
If the problem remains the same then contact any data recovery experts or system repair experts. they will definitely solve the problem.
Thanks
