Try to plug that into an another computer. but, if you see the same problem only you can decide that ur disk has dead. still the indicater doesn't blink that means there is a problem with the circuit witch is connected to the hard disk inside the plastic case.

Hitachi touro not responding

Hi can you hear any spinning whirring noise?
This could be a cable fault or the drive itself could be faulty.
You can download Hiren Software on USB to test the drive with the software

Hitachi

open the case , take out the drive , attache it to a computer internally ,youll need a cable or borrow you cd's cable, turn drive on in the bios to see drive ,save , boot an let windows load it , now does it come up as a drive letter an can you scan fix it . right clik that letter , properties , scan an fix. now thats assuming the drives have windows compatible sectoring an software that formatted it for your data to hold on it.
if you get an error before you get into windows then the drive has likely died in one of many ways.

My hitachi touro desk dx3 2tb hard drive use to work fine on my mac then i plugged it in to a windows 8 pc, since then the hard drive will only work on the windows8 and not my macbook, how can i fix t

Thanks for asking your question on Fixya. ;-)
What error messages are you seeing, if any? Does Apple OS recognize it at all? Also, did you format the drive on a windows computer? How about deleting the partition and plug it back into the macbook so the macbook can set it up for you. If you plug it into the windows machine, what messages did you get from that?

I contacted Hitachi support, no solution. They say we should return and exchange the disk with a new model that supports Windows 8.

What factor that can make your external hard drive become unrecognized and cant detected by our computer and also the light indicator is off but the mechanical part inside of it still spinning but not...

Simple you have no enough power, (AND/OR) The connecting controller is damaged, return the product immediatly and ask for a refund or exchange to seagate / maxtor.. since most of the HDD of your brand are defected I personally have the same problem here, except that my controller is dead.

My usb touro external hard disk won't turn on/ be detected. its so new. its really frustrating

You need to be sure that it is plugged into a USB 2.0 slot. Sometimes USB 2.0 devices will not be detected in USB 1.0 or 1.1, or on low powered USB slots. The back of your computer is the most likely location for a USB 2.0 and is likely indicated.

I lost my Hitachi 500gb driver, can I get a driver so as to recognizing it with windows 7.

Just connect it -- it is a Plug-and-Play device, and Windows 7 supports Plug-and-Play.

Do you get any error-messages when you connect it?

Does it connect to some other computer?

Does some other USB device connect to the USB port that you're using for the Hitachi?

My hard drive suddenly started beeping and stopped working

Your drive has failed. to try to get back some of your items put the drive in the freezer for a day. the chill will make the heads condense enough for about 3 hours of use for emergency backup.
