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

Sounds like your computer is having problems mounting the device. Driver issue perhaps?

it happens only with this device!! , also i tried it on a different pc, the same thing happend

Like I said, driver issues perhaps? Can you post your operating system please?

It's win xp sp2, , well as i mentioned it appears for a while then disconnect

more than 72 hours , i can double post

Any one with any idea ??

my guess is that the problem has something to do with the partitioning of the drive.

sounds like the connection of the harddrive to the case's USB port to the computer...try another HDD case

Your right Mr_5_Mr i thought about this, but i was waitting someone to confirm my doubt, fortunatly i have another Ext HDD, i will take it off its case and try it.

Regards
