See if your product is listed at the official manufacturer site http://www.trekstor.co.uk/downloads-en.html , or contact them there. Be very careful with other 'third party' sites that offer drivers; many are unscrupulous sites that will give you a 'driver' that contains spyware, or makes things even worse.

try other usb port, or other computer and see whether the hdd is detected. If still not, try to go to device manager ( http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000833.htm ), and then assign a drive letter to the hdd. After that, try to access it from Computer, if not able to access it, format it (use quick format) and then use this file recovery program called asoftech data recovery to recover your files.External Hard Drive Recovery Software

Sorry, what you hear is the so-called click of death - the reading head is no longer capable of reading the data on the disk. This in unfixable and all the data on the disk is lost.

I just had this problem with both my external drives (I was using the same power cable and just alternating between them). I went and got drive B's power cable and they work fine now. Try replacing the power cable

The hard disk inside your external unit has died. If you want to keep the case it can be replaced with a standard SATA disk.

Hi, unfortunately your are probably right. You can buy a new hard drive and install your self as the cheepest option?

click start control panel administrive tools ,computer management ,device manager look through all of your devices if you see a yellow question mark?or exclamation mark ! or red xright click to reinstall drivers or if you can see your usb but its not workingports(com&lpt)right click update driver sometimes the wires inside the cable will be damaged due to bending or stretching or placing heavy equipment upon the cable,just replace the cable of the hard disk, when you plugged the external disk drive you got that windows could recognize the USB device change the cable everything should work fine again,

check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red-white-green-black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems also make sure the computers Ram and Cmos battery are securely seatedif this fails to fix the problem you might have to install a usb 2 or 3 card they are cheap and easy to install you can buy these on Ebay very cheap hope this helps

Yes, there may be ways you can try put hard drive in the ziplock bag and put it in the freezer and wait for an hour. Take it out and try it. If it works, try to move your data and quickly as you can. It worked for me before. If disk contains very important data, and you have tried the above step but didn't work, you may want to spend $49.00 for the recovery software. This software works for me more than 90% of the time (you don't have to spend more 2K to send your disk to professional data recovery stores). Here is the link. I have used their product before and it worked, you can call them for support too after purchase the product. http://www.stellarinfo.com/disk-recovery.htm No one can guarantee 100% that your hard drive can be restored including my recommendation . It really depends on bad the damage to your disk is. You just have to take a chance. Good luck. I hope you don't reject my solution. Thanks
