problems with external hard drive
Hey, I'm having some problems with my Rock mobile disk external hard driver. Maybe somebody can help? I have an external hard drive that I use to store all my music on (I just moved all my music from iTunes on there a few weeks ago). It was working fine and all of a sudden it doesn't show up at all on my Windows Vista even though it used to. It used to not show up on my disk management, but I contacted windows vista help (they told me to uninstall my USB root hubs). Now it shows up in disk management (sometimes with an error, sometimes not), but I can't access the files. It's really important that I don't lose the files on this drive. I have another copy of a Rock external hard drive and I got it to work, but the one with my music files still doesn't. There was some error that popped up about my USB (I think saying something about using too much power?) when I plug in the external drive with my files on it. But when I plug in my drive, it's the only USB thing plugged in to my laptop and my other external hard drive works fine. Thanks for any help. -- crazystargrl |

try reinstalling your chipset drivers, and changing your power options to high performance. also try testing that external hard drive on another computer to see if you can access the files. -- motarola2 if it helped add points to reputation please |

Thanks for replying. I figured out how to change the power option, but how do you reinstall your chipset drivers? (and what exactly are chipset drivers) -- crazystargrl |
