Have un installed and re installed programme, still no recognition of h/d for auto back up
First - re-seat the hard disk and reboot the computer. If the computer does not boot up then reboot and go into the BIOS configuration to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. If it doesn't detect the hard drive then it could be faulty.
Then the hard drive needs to be replaced in the computer/laptop, Windows installed and the computer or laptop's device drivers plus your programs etc. to get a functioning computer/laptop again.

Hey guys. I have an answer on how to fix the Trekstor Datastation "Removable Disk" problem.
I also own a Trekstor Datastation 500GB and had the same problem even
though it worked for several months then all of a sudden when I tried
to hook it up to another computer, it stopped working. It would
recognize the USB connection but you could not read the drive as it
would say "Removable Disk".
In "Device Manager" it recognizes the drive as Sundata USB2SATA. But
what it really should be is "WDC WD50 00AAVS-32ZTB0 USB Device" or
something similar to that. For those that are wondering, yes, the hard
drive is a Western Digital Hard Drive. Western Digital Caviar to be
exact.
Solution: You need to open the cover to the hard drive and reconnect
the hard drive to the connector on the board. It's that simple!
It is very loose and this model is not well designed so it can easily
come off if you accidentally knock over your hard drive or move it to
another location. The hard drive is held in place by screws on a
holder where there is room for the screws to slide if the screws are
not tight enough.
You'll need a T10 screwdriver bit to remove the cover and a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the hard drive.
NOTE: Doing this will probably voids your warranty but trust me, it
works and it's really easy and quick to do. Took me 15 minutes.

U are actually facing the same problem as "jackwilkinso". As my previous post:
Windows XP does not come out to support SATA hard drive, because inside do not inclued the SATA driver, that why u cannot see the harddisk during the setup. What u can do is try to install the SATA supported OS like Windows Vista or Windows 7, or maybe can "forcely" put in the SATA driver in ur Windows XP setup CD.

Hello
My
apologies if this message finds you long after posting this problem ,
but I am currently working through a backlog of problems that never got
answered and hopefully this info can still be of use if not now possibly
in future.
Please download Disc Digger HERE.
This is a free tool you can use that works very well and there is no
installation required, just run the program once you downloaded it.
Once
you have connected the memory disk / hdd to the computer , run the program.
On
the program , select the dig deep option for accidentally deleted files
or dig deeper for a formatted drive. Then select the disk you want to do
the recovery on and run the program.
The data will be displayed
and you can recover it from there. This will only work if the card has
not been used since the data was lost. Save the files to a location
on the computer hard drive and not back to the disk it is recovering from as this will
overwrite the other pictures that still needs to be recovered.
Some of the properties of the files may become lost in the recovery but the pictures should be fine.
You will also only be able to recover certain file types using this method.
Feel free to ask if you need more assistance.
Kind Regards
Andrea

Most Windows versions:
Go to the diskmanagement (run compmgmt.msc) option Disk management.
Locate the drive and add a driveletter.
If the drive is not shown in the list, you need to check your USB drivers or connectors.
