Hello,

My Dell desktop crashed in 05/09. I am trying to determine if I can get the data off the hard drive. I was backing up to an external hard drive, but there is some data that is missing. When I turn the Dell on, it stays on for a short period of time and then shuts down. I cannot get it to boot up to do a data transfer. Can I pull the hard drive and get the data off of it?

Hi there,

Yes you can ,but you need a converter,or you can use an external casing for hard drive of 2.5'' and connect it to other pc an use it as a pen drive and extract your date.

Thanks

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!

Toshiba external hard drive suddenly stopped functioning

Hello, I have a Toshiba Canvio Basic 1TB external hard drive. I'm an aspiring game developer/artist and I have several years' worth of work on it.

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.
