I have an external HD that I use to back up my music, documents, movies….. in the past week it has started to act weird. I plug it in to the usb, it will spin up, get recognized by the computer, then shutdown (blue light goes out). After that it will proceeded to do that cycle again where its like im plugging it in to the computer then pulling it out and repeating that, but its doing that cycle on its own. I thought it may have been a faulty usb port in my comp, so I tried it in another and in another computer. Any ideas whats wrong and what I can do to fix it.
