I did run WD's LifeGuard diagnostics on the drive. Well, at least I tried to. I couldn't (and am still not able to) get the drive to appear on Windows anymore. It does appear in my Device List under "Devices and Printers" but so do many of the other devices and printers I've had attached to...

Allrighty - I'll run SFC on the external drive. Though it's my understanding the SFC stands for "System Files Checker" and that it wouldn't make sense to run SFC on a drive that has no system files and doesn't host or run an operating system. So if I plugged in this drive, waited an hour...

Well, like I said, I CAN access it. Or, I should reiterate that I've been able to access it a few times but it takes an hour or more for the drive to be recognized, and then the seek times are painfully, non-usable-y slow. I ran sfc on C: because, like I said, the system has a very difficult...

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the 1st of two issues with this drive is that I can't access it at all, really, to copy or backup any of the data. The 2nd issue is that plugging it in does all sorts of weird stuff to the computer and its' operation. Like just now, for example, I had the drive...

Okay, so the whole "Hard Disk Engine" thing was totally a dead-end. It was an internal conflict with Paragon's software which is completely useless to me at the moment, as it won't load with the external drive plugged in...which I kinda need it to. Windows integrity check, SFC /SCANNOW...

Allright, Okay. Does THIS mean anything to anyone? I ran Paragon Tools (with the drive plugged in) and it just sat there at the main logo screen until I unplugged the drive. THEN, the software instantly opened with this message: "Paragon Hard Disk Manager™ could not be started because...

Yeah, see, I was thinking that. Could malware or a virus exist in such a way on an external HDD that it can affect the host system so immediately? Or cause itself to not be recognized? Or...whatever? -- Also, tried running the WD Diagnostic tool. It scans for drives, then closes itself...

Hi, and thanks for the reply! I've had drives go bad on me before, but they've never exhibited these symptoms. I mean, it...stops...the internet? It literally will load the page immediately after unplugging the drive. The "please hold" icon when I log in here will just spin forever...

Well Hidely-hodely, neighborino! Thanks for the bump-a-rooni!

Hi, all! I have been having the weirdest problem with my WD My Passport 2TB external HDD. I hope that someone might help shed some light on it, because I'm stumped... It's a USB3 drive. It's primarily used on a Windows 7 (x64 Ultimate) laptop which hasn't been moved in over a year. It's...

Oh, right...

We hit 33Mbps early this morning, our highest has been 38Mbps, but we average around 25Mbps... The great thing is, we only pay for 10Mbps, but they say it's because the "hub"(?) is only a mile and a half away... Let's try with different servers...

Aside from it being completely plagiarized from itreviews.co.uk, yeah, the site could use some work. I'm assuming it's your site? Two recommendations: Better graphic-design, layout, and most importantly, original research and writing.

Have you installed Java? Flash?

Okay then, I've been an active member here for awhile now, so I decided to create a sig... I can insert a YouTube video in my signature, but not an image or animated .gif. Does that strike anyone as...oh, I dunno...slightly ridiculous? The other issue relates to forum topics: You've...

I couldn't help noticing his or her sig, where he's got an SSD for the OS, and a standard HDD for his data. It seems like a great idea! A super-fast SSD dedicated to your OS, and a fast SATA drive for the rest. But does it actually work that way? I would think that the SSD would still be...

What's happening here, is the throst temperature is too high (or low). It's an option in many programs but should be carefully selected when using the system, if the result is to be as accurate as possible. A high value should be used only where it is known that the Plime Quotient is...

Bump#2...:(

I found a guy on craigslist who was selling one. They're at bestbuy for $899. Check out froogle.com which is actually google shopping.
