What is the OS you are using. If it’s Win XP then it should recognize the device. There could be several reasons for the device not to function. Best would be to plug it on to another computer to check if the device works. If it does not work then you need to check the USB cable if it works properly. Or if the external bay itself had issues

Yeah, that must be terrible, but try to plug it in again and see if it works this time.

i'm afraid if you would have damaged the cylinders inside...
if yours hd is under warranty you can try it with a computer repairman...else if would cost you more of the secure recovery of the data in the hd..

thankyou

However rare, it is possible that you have a dead hard drive. I would try the hard drive on a different computer (one that has a known good set of USB ports). If that still does not work, take it back to where you got it and get a refund/replacement.

A couple of things you can look at:

1) Do you hear/feel the hard drive "spin-up" when you first turn it on ?

2) Does the hard drive come with an external power supply ? If so, it could be just the power supply that is shot. Check for tell-tale LEDs that would say whether it's working or not.

3) Have you tried different USB cables/USB ports ? Sometimes the front ports do not have enough juice to power a hard drive (if it's drawing power off the USB port). Sometimes switching to a USB port on the back of your computer is enough to solve the problem.

4) Make sure to eliminate as many superfluous components you can from your testing: don't plug the hard into a USB hub, plug it directly into an motherboard USB port (as mentioned above, the ones on the back).


Hope this helps.

You should be able to buy an external USB drive (or thumb drive) at any electronics store. You can connect a USB hard disk drive or USB memory stick to your TV by using the USB inputs of the TV. This feature allows you to play files stored in a USB drive. 2.5" and 3.5" inch (hdd with external power supply) external hard disk drives are supported. IMPORTANT! You should back up your files before making any connections to the TV set in order to avoid any possible data loss. Manufacturer will not be responsible for any file damage or data loss. It is possible that certain types of USB devices (e.g. MP3 Players) or USB hard disk drives/memory sticks may not be compatible with this TV. Quickly plugging and unplugging USB devices, is a very hazardous operation. Do not repeatedly quickly plug and unplug the drive. This may cause physical damage to the USB player and USB device itself. Do not pull out USB module while playing a file. Media Browser Menu You can play photo, music, and movie files stored on a USB disk by connecting it to your TV and using the Media Browser screen. To do this, perform the following: Connect a USB disk to one of the USB inputs located on the side of the TV. You can connect two USB devices to your TV. If both USB devices include music, picture or video files, USB selection OSD will be displayed on the screen. The first USB device connected to the TV will be named as USB Drive1. Select a device by using up or down arrows and press OK

You will have to use the HDMI port on the mac. provided you have a HDMI input in the projector

buried in endless spam are you. does it fail on 2nd PC???????????????????????????? but yes, I am the MVP of external HDD< I build my own. Have over 5 here for Backups . lots of causes, for sure bad drive, or missing drivers.. bad HW hardware or BAD software SW. Missing 12vdc 2amp power pack>, lost or using wrong one. when pack above does the HDD spin? usb connected to PC. NO PC stated, NO OS stated, windows/chrome/Linux/android? its at lease 10 years old , see posts back that far. not good old HDD,this old. sold during W7 era. 2009. The drive has 3.5" HDD that needs lots of power (Amps) to start up that big motor inside, and is first thing to learn . 2amps it needs, ok? so if pack is missing it will never startup on any USB port, not rated for 20x standard USB load factors. some laptops only do 0.1amps (100mA) and are useless to startup any hdd motor of any kind. see why here. and see a better extremal solution cheap.! $10 http://www.pcdied.com/external-hdd.html
