There are many driver update providers online but first I would go to the Simple Tech website.

Manufacturers website.

Restart your pc. Have u tried disk utility Management. Check on that.

On a Mac you generally have all the drivers you need built in. Would be very rare these days to download a special driver. Any drive plugged in to the USB port usually shows up. Perhaps the drive needs formatting first. Often external drives are pre formatted for PC. First...Open Drive Utility in Applications / Utilities Folder Then Plug External Drive in. It should show up in Left Column of DU Window Use Drive Utility to format & test the drive. Use the Mac OS Extended (Journled) if using with Mac files or FAT 32 if swapping data from PC to Mac & back. Good Luck

It could be that the hard drive is not formatted for access by the computer yet or it could be that the hard drive is not working correctly. Without more information, there is little that anyone can tell you. My suggestion would be to get the drive to a computer repair professional to determine if it is working normally and, if so, have your computer checked out for proper operation. It could be that the USB port that you are trying to use on your computer (or the USB cable that attaches the external hard drive to your computer) is faulty. The professional will be able to pinpoint the problem quickly and easily.

Open it up and look inside. Some enclosures use screws others use plastic clips which may require a tool thinner than a credit card to release the clips. The Internal Drive...Is it a 2.5" drive that runs on 5 volt or a 3.5" drive that uses combined 12 volt & 5 Volt power supply. These drives don't use much current. 1 to 2 Amp The adapter may have had a single voltage output for 2.5" drives or a dual voltage supply for the 3.5" Probably 12v or 5v Anyhow, there are lots of hard drive empty enclosures that can be bought... as hard drives internally use a standard connection for data & power. Just swap the internal HD over to a new enclosure. Hope this Helps Trevor

The receiver should do that automatically when you hook it up. They usually have a propriatary format that you cannot access yourself.

That can be extremely difficult if not impossible. It is definately not a DIY job and few professionals can even do it. You need someone who is a computer hardware expert and someone who is an expert at retrieving data from a dead drive. There are few people who can do that, good luck.

no a hard drive does not have a battery to retain memory, its magnetic storage, when you plug it in do you hear it spin up? make sure your power pack is 12v at 1500-2000mah if its not the power pack check that your cable works, if the disk drive doesn't spin up there is a chance it is damaged but usually unlikely

It all depends on what software was used to back up the drive and what operating system you was using. The best way would be to restore the backup to a madeup directory and view and delete what ever you like. If you can elaborate further, please do. Tony
