O.P. Sad  Ext HDD problem
Well hey,

I have a 40GB toshiba HDD the one used for portables, so i bought it a ST LAB USB 2.0 Pocket HDD case, and i installed it in it.

Now when i Put the HHD into usb it start loading it appears in Device manager, and i can see the 2 icons in my computer.

but after a while it gose off like nothing is attached.

I tried to FDISK it, coz this HDD already have files on it, and it's being also partitioned but the short time before it goes off isn't enough.

BTW i alread made the same thing on another HDD it was an 80 also toshiba, but the case isn't ST LAB, so what do u think is the Problem over here??

thanks in advance

RE: Ext HDD problem
Sounds like your computer is having problems mounting the device. Driver issue perhaps?

RE: Ext HDD problem
my guess is that the problem has something to do with the partitioning of the drive.
I should change my sig ay?
