You could try some of the diagnostics for your drive http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?lang=en I'm wondering if you're having a hardware error as opposed to a software one.

You are recieving the same error code using a USB drive? What program is installed on the USB drive? Did you use the CD disk that contains your Office Program/Adobe Photoshop and copy them to USB? Have you tried any other programs you have from CD and tried to install it. I am trying to allieviate the Office/Adobe Photoshop program from the mix to see if another CD program (any) will install with the same error. Bill

when you boot the computer with the western digital or seagate (i prefer seagate drives ) software media (bootable cd) it will find the drives then you simply follow the instructions to set them up as slave drives or additional drives ........ there is no need to set the drive partition as "active" because you wont be booting from them ....... dont let all this mumbo jumbo intimidate you ...... we are here to guide you thru...

Possible Hard Drive issue
Published (2008-12-02 01:09:00)
Try booting into the Bios.( Press the DEL key while booting, it might be another key depending upon your comp) If it does look to see if the drive is there. Then try and boot into Safe mode. If that works you'll have to ask more questions.

I'll wait to hear from WD support, but it seems that the drive is just not compatable with my system. I'll start looking for an 80 G Maxtor.

Okay, here's the deal. Western Digital 750GB external drive was working fine. My PC is running XP, hooked the drive up to a PC running Vista and it took a second to install drivers etc. but when it finished wouldn't recognize the drive under My Computer. Hooked it back up to my XP PC and its doing the same. First thing it asked when I hooked it back up to my PC was to rescan the drive ...

So my computer had died several months ago, and it turned out to be the power supply, despite two separate testings of the power supply using its cable to the mother board. I have since replaced the PSU and it now runs again, but with problems. I had 2 hard drives for this computer, with my OS installed on the master. Well, it can't find the NTLDR file on the master drive, and I've trouble...

Sorry, I was away a few days. The jumper settings do not make sense to me. This is what it says in the manual "The drive has a jumper block located next to the ATA power connector. There is generally no need to change the default jumper setting in order to use the drive. The only use of this jumper block is to enable or disable power management for the drive. The drives ship in the ...

I have a Dell PC, bought about 4 years ago. Two nights ago it packed in. I think it was my fault. I was moving the desk which the PC is sitting on while the PC is switched on. Anyway my PC won't switch on now. When I switch it on, I can see the Dell logo then it says can't read any files and ask me to press ctrl + Alt + delete to restart. I rung Dell and they ran some tests with me over ...

Well, my own laptop harddrive died and I'm looking to buy a new one. I don't know which one would be the best but I suppose laptop HDs are different than desktop HDs (or so I heard). What's a good and affordable HD with decent space? (doesn't need over 50gb) and is $50>0 ? Thanks!

My dillema, I have a failing external hard drive. It is a Western Digital 500GB Model #:WDG1U5000N. The hard drive when writing a lot of data to it, copying a lot of data from it, or when accessing it(loading music into a media player) the drive will stall, the progress bar of whatever it is will stall for a few minutes. Finally I will get a prompt asking me if I want to format the drive or ...

Hey! I've had this Seagate HD for 2 years now, and it suddenly stopped working. It still spins, but now, BIOS won't recognize it and it keeps making a beeping sound every 3 seconds (this happens when it's connected to the power cable. The data cable has nothing to do with it). Does anyone know what's the problem? Could it be fixed by switching the logic board ? Details ...

Hi stuckinafix and welcome to TSF ! Please give us more informations, there's little we can do if we need to guess what the problem is. What's the brand and model of the computer ? What's the exact error message or where is the drive reported as offline : during startup, in the disk management screen ? Can you get into Windows ? When did the problem start and what changes have been done to ...

At least run the data lifeguard tools and see what they say before contacting WD. And consider swapping the drive positions (make the drive a slave, without anything else connected for example)

Well....I hate to say it. It still stops near the end of the partitioning phase. Connected to the end plug, both IDE and power. First on the list in Bios. No jumper. (tried master, also) This must be the part where I kick it.

I have 500GB WD and yesterday it just stopped being recognized by my laptop. Now it could have been caused when I stepped on its end and it banged on the swivel chair legs or it could be because my laptop shut off while the drive was still plugged in. When I ... | |
