Verbatim CORPORATION 94933 USB 2.1GB Store-n-go HD Drive (VE94933) Hard Drive - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I've seen this happen with power saving turned on. Look for your USB device having the setting enabled in device manager

well first off back up all your data. then right click on my computer and go to manage, then in the new windows in the left hand column click on disk management once that is open select the HDD you wish to format and select what format you want it in

Check the polarity on the adapter , maybe its reversed.

from what i saw no fuse on the controller board. so, if the hd unit inside work properly alone (connected to a pc), it can be maybe the power control transistors on the controller board or a capacitor. don't attempt a repair if you dont have electronics notions. bye

Which operating system ?Performing a system restore can be useful if your computer's operating system has become unstable because of viruses, malware or missing files.

Prior to performing a system restore, you should backup your personal files and save any programs to removable media.

Recovering lost software can be more time-consuming if you do not have a media backup of the installation software.

In most cases, you can download applications from Internet sites and recover missing license keys and other information through the software manufacturer.

As a last resort, you may also opt to undo your system restore so that you can recover your lost software.

Go to your computer manufacturer's support website.

Enter your model number, computer type, serial number and other information requested. Browse through the system software selections.

Select any that you need to reinstall.

You may also be able to order a system recovery disk.

Insert a software installation disk or connect removable media that contains the installation program.

Allow Windows to autoplay the disk.

Begin the installation program.

If you do not have the license or key required to run the software but have purchased the program, contact the software developer's customer support department via email or telephone.

Visit the software developer's website.

Browse through the products page, and click on the download link for the lost software.

Select a directory to save the installation program.

Once the program downloads, open it, and re-install the software.

IS IT DEAD.NO WAY TO FIX.

If you remove the hard drive from the computer and convert it into a desktop hard drive you would have to go into the bios settings and change the boot-up order from dvd or hard drive to usb. Check first that your computer can actually BOOT from usb (look in the bios settings to see if this option is listed). Depending on the age of the computer you may not have the boot from usb option.I don't use Mac. Never used one. However, I do use Linux. On a partitioned hard drive Linux can 'see' into Windows and you can transfer things from Windows into Linux. However, Windows can't 'see' into Linux at all. Windows knows that the linux partition is there but just can't access it. This is normal.It would appear that your computer is more or less doing the same, for whatever reason, even though it was working fine a while ago.Maybe Linux would be able to access the Mac side of things in your computer? I don't honestly know. But it would be able to access the Windows 7 side of things. Why not try a 4th partition with Linux on?Linux Ubuntu is a free download. Download the image, burn it to dvd and then restart your computer. It will give you the option of either using the entire hard drive for installation, or putting it in its own partition. You can also install Ubuntu on a usb pen and boot your computer from that (if you have the boot from usb in your bios settings). More information and download is available at http://www.cavalrystorage.com/download.aspxIt may be the actual usb port that is worn, not the cable. The front ports on my desktop are so worn as to be unuseable

The connectors are usually just soldered to the PCB inside. If you know how to solder then take it to bits and re solder it. Or take it to a computer repair shop and they should be able to do it for you.

A 2Tb drive is most likely to be a SATA drive, so you can use a SATA cable and power connector in your computer tower. The case is just there to allow the power and data interfaces to be contained. Or just plug it into a hard drive dock.

Choose a backup method. Choose either an external hard drive, data disks (CDs, for example) or use an online backup service. Plug the flash drive or the External Hard drive into your computer's rectangular-shaped USB drive. Wait for Windows to recognize the system. Windows operating systems use "plug and play" technology, which means that computer peripherals like USB flash drives can be recognized instantly by the system without further need for device configuration. Open the drive on your computer. Open the "My Computer" directory if using Windows XP or the "Computer" directory if using Windows 7 or Vista. Locate the flash drive letter and icon under the section named "Devices with Removable Storage." Double-click the flash drive icon to open it. Transfer files to the flash drive. Click the "Restore" button in the top-right corner of the "Computer" or "My Computer" directory to shrink the window so that you can view your computer's desktop background. Open the folders or locations of the files which you want to save to the flash drive. Click and drag with your mouse each of the files and folders you want to save to the flash drive over to the empty space in the "My Computer" or "Computer" window. Release the mouse button to let the files "drop." Close the windows and directory locations when finished. Save files directly onto the flash drive. From an open file (i.e. text, spreadsheet, image files. etc.), click the "File" menu and "Save as" option. Select the "My Computer" or "Computer" directory in the drop-down menu at the top of the "Save As" box. Double-click the flash drive letter under the "Devices with Removable Storage" section. Click the "Save" button to save the file onto the flash drive. Close the windows and files when finished

Scheduled backups are an integral part of any effective disaster recovery plan.

The Windows Backup Utility is offered in a free download on Microsoft's website and, while it is not the most feature-rich tool on the market, the Windows Backup Utility will back up files to hard disk, CD-Recordable (CD-R) or tape at the times and dates specified for the scheduled job.

Editing scheduled jobs can be easily done.

Click the "Start" button in the lower left corner of the window. Select "All Programs."

Choose "Accessories" and "System Tools."

Select "Backup."

Click the hyperlink "Advanced Mode" in the "Backup or Restore Wizard" window.

Choose the "Scheduled Jobs" tab.

Click on the icon in the calendar for the job you want to edit.

Select the "Properties" button from the "Scheduled data" tab.

Choose the "Schedule" tab.

how to back up a hard drive

Determine how much space you need.

The first step in backing up your hard drive is to figure out how much space you will need to back up all of your files.

You can do this in a couple of ways.

Find out how large the hard drive is on your computer first to see if you can back up the whole thing. Click on "My Computer," right-click the "C" drive and select "Properties."

This shows the approximate size of your hard drive, how much space is actually taken, plus the space used by your operating system.

If your hard drive size is manageable (the space actually taken), back up the whole thing.

Your second option is to create a file called "Backup" and copy all of your important files into it.

Right-click on the folder once everything is copied over and choose "Properties" to find out the size of the folder.

This is how much space you will need to back up your important files only.

Choose a backup method. Choose either an external hard drive, data disks (CDs, for example) or use an online backup service.

There are advantages and disadvantages to all.

An external drive is convenient because you can plug it into other computers and immediately transfer or copy files without needing the Internet or having to worry at all about security.

However you have to carry the drive with you and always face the remote possibility that both your computer and the hard drive would break.

Data disks provide the same advantages and disadvantages as external hard drives: portability, but the possibility of theft or breakage.

You can also use an online backup service.

These services range in price depending on the amount of storage.

The advantage of an online service is that you can access your files from anywhere there is Internet, and it is generally cheaper, especially for small amounts of service.

Also, you don't need to carry or store another piece of equipment.

The disadvantage is your backup is stored on the service's external server, so security is a potential issue.

Back up your files. Once you have chosen your method of backup, do not forget the most important step: back up your files.

For external media, go into "My Computer" and double-click the "C" drive to open it.

Select all the files if backing up your entire hard drive, or select your "Backup" folder if just backing up your important files.

Holding your "CTRL" key, drag your selected files to your back up source, either your external hard drive or data disk drive.

Release your mouse button and "CTRL" key and allow the files to be copied onto your backup media.

Hope this helps.

To attempt recovery put it an an open external enclosure and have another one hooked up to recover the data to.

Gently tap the hard drive with an open hand and see if you can get it to spin up one last time.

Of course it can be sent to a data recovey company if you really have to get the data off. Downloads to Recover Your Files and Save Your Bacon and 10 Best Free Hard Drive Utilities.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the drive.

Opening it will just negate any chance of recovery.

You're not going to fix it by disassembling the drive.

The click's and beeps indicate the drive it damaged; there is a good chance (98%) that you have lost all of your data.

Note: By removing the cover from this drive the any remaining warranty will be void and all data will be considered lost.

Now if you still want to take it apart just to look inside, there will be one or two screws that are under the manufacturer's label that will have to be removed.

Pressing firmly, run you finger across the top of the drive until you can feel the depression where the screw head is.

Using you screw driver puncture the label and remove the screw.

Then you can pry the top cover off.

No. Your formatting is probably FAT32 and the maximum transfer size is 4gb. What you could do is compress it into different archives (essentially breaking it up) and then copying it into the hard disk. You can do so with winrar or similar programs.

You may have to have the data recovered from the drive.

click start control panel scroll to folder options view place a tick in show hidden files folders and drivesthis may vary depending on your operating system

you might not have the appropriate software installed to read the data IE: adobe , directx , win zip ......

right click on the file select properties select security you must take/have full control to change select edit this may vary depending on which operating system you havehope this helps
