Sir/Madam, My Transcend 320 GB external Hard drive is not getting opened. Instead, I am asked to format disk again and again. What I have to do?

if you have a lot of files and/or irreplaceable on hard drive do not format...maybe a cable wire is loose unplugged and plug back a couple of times...if this do not work try to restore to a month ago when it was working find.go to start/accessories/system tools/ system restore..set the date to a month back..click ok the system will shut down/ boot back up and prompt you do you agree with the restore you must click ok

How do you remove fragmentation (defrag) a hard drive without using a defrag tool? Can you simply copy all files to a back up drive, reformat the fragmented drive and restore the files?

when files are written to the hard drive they start from the center outwards...as the platter fills up, the read/write heads find the next empty spot. when a file is deleted (document, photo, mp3, or even a temp file used by the system) the r/w head starts writing a new file in the FIRST empty spot it finds....rather than one continuous stream of data.

Theoretically, copying files from a fragmented drive to a freshly formated drive would move them in an orderly fashion without fragmenting.

On the other hand, if you were to use a clone utility (like norton ghost or acronis) then you would copy everything of the original drive bit by bit in its original position, fragments and all.

interesting question to be sure....I will have to experiment with this.
