Hello,

i put some music on my external hard drive 3 day's ago and today when i loaded it up it showed the folder's but when i entered them all the file's had diffrent name's such as block's and such. i told window's to check for error's and it found none then after it did that now the folder's are not recognized as a type of file when i click on them they ask what to open it with, the folders them self's are now reading as only kb's amount of data in them but properties show over 600gig's still on it. is there any way to fix this? i tryed plugging it into a diffrent pc to see if it was the pc reading them wrong and the samething happen's.

Why don't you try any data recovery software trial version, if it shows you your files preview then buy that software to recover your files their original format.

Toshiba external hard drive not detected

Hello,

This is Rathish from India. I bought both my laptop and my external drive in UK. I am using Windows 7 Home. I bought that hard drive after 18 months. when I plugged in my HDD it's not showing up d icon of the HDD. This one happens after connecting into my cousin's computer. Actually, Toshiba HDD's will turn into white color from Blue when it's plugged into a computer, but in my case, it still glows in Blue, so I don't know what is the exact problem of it. Can anyone help me to get rid of this one?

Thanks!

Today, the hard drive suddenly just stopped working. It was working just fine this morning, but when I plug it in now, it is completely undetectable. File manager, device manager, nor hard disk partitioner can find it.

Interestingly, when the hard drive DID work, it had a blue light that always flashed when my PC was on. However, now the blue light constantly stays on when plugged in instead of blinking, so I know the hard drive is at least receiving power - thus making it unlikely that it's an issue with its cable.
