Hello,

When adding files into a folder on my external hard drive they will go to it and then disappear, when adding the same file it still gives me a prompt saying that one file already has that name. sometimes if I am fast enough I can see it appear and then disappear I have made sure they are not hidden files/folders
Any help would be awesome, thank you

It sounds like the drive folder is hidden. Go to the drive properties and set Hide Hidden files to NOT CHECKED!

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.
