In the BIOS select the drive you want to boot from.

Check your backlight. It may have burnt out. Easy solution is to get a new tv.

You will always have problems to backup encripted drives, unless the backup software specifically supports the encryption software. Usually you can to try to "mount" the drive as a unencrypted drive and run the backup on that drive. Alternatively, use HD partition backup software (ex: DriveSnapshot, EaseUS, Paragon, etc...).

If you PC does not see the drive (assuming the PC has all the required USB drivers), then, 1 check and or subsitute the USB cable. 2. check the power supply/wall wart for correct power. 3. check the USB plug on the PC, try a different one if equiped. 4. the USB interface card in the external case may be toast. You will need to check or sub the interface to ensure that's not the issue. 5. place the drive in a different case with a different USB interface.

I think you need to format disc.

If there is no sound from the drive it is either not receiving power or has failed.

Find and open the application Disk Utility under Applications Click on the external drive and click Erase. If you would like the drive to be compatible with Mac only, choose any of the Mac OS options. If you would like the drive to be compatible with Mac and Windows, choose FAT32.

Easy, just hook up old drive as secondary and new drive as primary. Copy what you need from the secondary onto the primary. When you are done, just disconnect the secondary drive and enjoy your new one.

I have had the same problem with Vista and win 7 with USB connection. Using it with XP its perfect. what operating system are you using?

Beeping or chirping? Check it in a PC if you can. If its more of a chirp than a beep your HDD inside likely failed.

Use a defragment software that will fix bad clusters

Hi, if you can hear the drive spinning up but then making a clicking noise this means the heads have failed, this would need to be opened up (ideally in a clean room), if the platters are okay you can replace the heads... but if your data is precious to you I would reccomend sending it to a data recovery company Digital Recovery (www.digitalrecovery.co.nz) are fairly good.

1. Check your power lead make sure both ends are plugged in and switch on. 2. Replace Power lead 3. Rehouse the drive (This is not hard and there are a lot of youtube clips that can help you)

try removing the HDD from the caddy and plug it into the PC normally once plugged in try and view the files if you can then the caddy is at fault here buy a new one and carry one

If it is new you may have to format it.Go to may computer right click hit format. If it contains your files etc do not do it as it will erase everything.

Problem may simply be with USB cable used. Try another cable, preferably a known good cable. Problem may be with the socket on the device itself where the USB cable fits in. Try (with known good cable) on a flat surface with the both the device and the cable resting on the surface - i.e cable should not hang down and put weight on the socket. Hope that fixes it. Further advice. Even if problem seems fixed, immediately back up the drive if you can!

Don't worry, you are not doing anything wrong. There are two ways you can view the videos: 1. Select the video you want to watch and press space 2.

It doesn't require a power supply You may need to install a mass storage driver. What operating system are you using? Vista? XP? Win7? Win8? 32 bit? 64 bit? Was the drive used on a Mac? Are you on a PC right now with it?

Maybe... you need to free up.... space..? (Sorry, could not resist...) That is, try to delete files or empty the virtual Trash Bin. If you are certain that there should be enough free space, try a filesystem check. In windows, open the windows explorer (NOT internet-explorer), right-click on the drive-letter, choose properties->tools. There is something like "check for errors". (this depends on version and language of the OS). I had a program that couldn't cope with too much free space. Almost filling up the drive with some random files made the program work. Ok, this was 20 years ago.
