I have an Total Micro Technologies 120GB USB hard drive. The front panel indicator light was red when I went in to access it. I reset the drive and as soon as it booted it went red. Any suggestions?

Sounds like the drive has gone faulty, all you can do is take drive out of case, get USB to HDD - USB "Dongle" and hook up HDD, and see if it works on PC & USB, If YES, then Case and interface are faulty, otherwise the HDD is faulty.
try it on another pc. If you have the same problem then its on the micros end not the pc.
If it works fine, access device manager and restall the drivers
The problem is in most cases the Power Supply given is of too low of Wattage, at 1.5. After some time, it will no longer provide the drive the needed power, thus the red light.
Try another similar power supply of higher Watts (my Maxtor has it at 2.0 watts.
Try getting Higher power Supply from Radio Shack. Store Tech will Help you.
Lastly, inside the enclosure is simply a typical Hard Drive. Remove it and Slave it to your PC.
