<!-- from fixya rte -->PROBLEM 0GB MAXTOR DIAMOND22 STM3160813AS - Computers & Internet

MAKE SURE THAT THE SD CARD IS UNLOCKED OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WRITE TO IT.

Have you tried putting the computer in safe mode? you would be able to select last known working configuration, or do a system restore if the first fail.

Restart computer Run Program as admin (if you are using win7) post more descriptions of problem and i can help you out a lil better.

An external storage-device has four major components:

* the USB cable

* the power-adapter

* the disk-drive inside the enclosure

* the USB-to-disk-drive adapter inside the enclosure.

One of these components has failed.

Try a different USB cable.

Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.

Try connecting to a USB port on a different computer.

Take a "multi-meter" and measure both the voltage and amperage output from the AC adapter, and compare with the specifications on the label on the adapter.

Open the enclosure, and remove the disk-drive, and then connect it as a "slave" disk-drive in a desktop computer, to see if it works at all.

Purchase a new, compatible, disk-drive, and install it in the enclosure, to "revive" your external storage device.

Get the part-number and serial-number from the label on your disk-drive, and access the manufacturer's web-site, and use "check warranty status", to see if they will replace the device, at minimal cost to you.


There exist commercial "data recovery" services that can try to repair your device, just long-enough to rescue and copy your files.
For example, see: https://services.seagate.com/index.aspx?lng=en-US for a "no data - no charge guarantee".

maybe it is not supported by vista. i recommend you lower vesions of windows for better performance for now.

May be because you have used all the memory space your ipod touch had.

I the HDD is still brand new, then it has to be formatted by the PC, install the HDD do the following...

1. Right Click My Computer, click on Manage
2. Go to Disk Manager on the left
3. Your disk should be listed there, right click on it on the right hand side of the screen, create partition, then you need to format the hdd, then you can use the disk, If it doesn't detect the HDD when you want to install windows, then you must, change your SATA setting in the Bios to IDE mode, Try it out and let me know, got some more solutions that you can try if that doesn't work

The drive may be already faulty, like having bad sectors on it. You might make it work if you will try the low level format under DOS.

Hmm... you could try removing the drives from the NAS device and plug them into either a SATA or EIDE cable in your PC. That way you can at least try to get your data off. If they were truly set for mirroring, then both drives should have the same data... so if one doesn't work, try the other. It may be a failed drive has the backend loop hung up.
