Sounds like a disk error and it cant read the start of the drive. If it still detects it you might be able to repair it with a partition recovery or partition repair tool available online.

Make sure you haven't selected the wrong input using the input or source button on your remote control. You may have to cycle through several choice until you get to TV or Tuner or something similar. Cycle slowly, some TV's take a few seconds to render the picture one you choose a different input source.

More than likely the software is available at Hitachi's website, so check there or give them a call if you cannot find it through the website. They may be able to email the software to you or provide the link by email. If the software is licensed in some fashion, they may ask for the serial number of your external hard drive, so you might want to have that handy just in case.

You can\'t get back the data from encrypted hard drive whatsoever. There are various recovery utility that claims to successfully recover data from the encrypted drive but none of them would actually able to recover files. One of the best recovery software of all time with which, I\'ve had quite good experience so far is, Stellar Phoenix Partition Recovery. You can try it yourself and see if it helps you a bit:http://www.stellarinfo.com/partition-recovery.htmGood luck though!!

I take it that you've forgot your bios password.. Take off your side cover of PC (check this through your manual if you have it) and look for a round shiny battery. near there you will see 'clr cmos'. Next to that you may see 3 pins with 1 jumper. Disconnect power source. Take the jumper off it's present 2 contacts the 'jump the centre on and the one that was open. Count 5 secs and reverse back to original 2 jumpers. Your bios will tell you ( when you reboot) that cmos needs setting. Your password has now gone from your bios. I you have a password on your hard-drive try downloading Hirens Boot Disk 15. Boot from the CD and there are a myriad of repair & fixes that come there which will help you Hiren Pankaj Homepage www hiren info

The password is your responsibility. If you forgot that's a bad mistake, or if it's belongs to someone else ask them.

It depends on the OS you use ! On most versions of Windows, right click on the letter of the drive, then click "properties". In the new window, go to "Tools" tab, and click "Verify now". Check the the two repair boxes and run the program. (terms may vary according to version of Windows). Windows will ask you to reboot to launch the analysis of your disk. If this does not fix the problem, you'll need to further investigate with more elaborated tools, available free of charge on the net.

Hi Anon Try connecting your hard drive to another computer and running the windows disk tools to test your drive, make sure that the options to automatically fix errors are selected, if this does not work then a suite of hard drive tools from Acronis (disk director) or Paragon (Hard disk manager) may be able to fix your problem.

This has nothing to do with the drive. If you used a program to secure the data on your drive, only the same program, with the correct password, can unlock your data. You are the only one that can guess what password you used. There is no other way. If you don't need the data anymore, you should be able to wipe the drive and give it a format. You will lose all data for ever if you do so.

check data cable. change use port and check the driver on any other PC. if problem is same after doing so. check hard drive Cage. change driver Cage

They can do that if they overheat. Is the router hot? If there was a power spike or brownout, the router could have been damaged. Do you have a surge protection system?

It should work. If not, there are jumpers on some drives. Not a DIY task because it requires unusual skills. Does not always work in any case.

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.

This is a bad idea since the cases of hard drives are sealed in a clean room. This is to avoid contamination and thereby to avoid crashes. My advise.....DON"T DO IT.

Formatting will erase everything on that drive. If you can accept loosing that, do the format and see if it works. If it does not fix it, you need a data recovery expert. Few computer professionals can do that kind of work.

Check that the power cable is good, and the data cable. If they are good, your drive died and needs to be replaced.

disconnect it , reconnect , does windows reconize it
