thts waht others always say...Originally posted by DriftingGuy:But Western Digital is a very good brand... Least likely of all to spoil so fast
If you ownself troubleshoot cannot then bring it down to sim lim.. no point getting frustrated and then blood pressure increase
my ibm deathstar quite reliable..use so long nvr probs
ok..thanks for the tip..Originally posted by nightzip:hopefully u never put any magnetic stuffs near your portable hdd or let water soak in, cuz it may have lost the data.
Else, go quickly to the shop to attempt a data recovery. Remember, under any circumstances, when they say have to format ur hdd, say no, try to recover the data first, cuz most shop people are lazy, the easiest way for them is always to format ur drive.
1 shop attempted to charge me 30 just by looking at it. -
OK.the gd news is that U can go back to the shop who sold U the ext HDD and bang table...most they do is to do a 1-to1 exchange if U go there fast enough....data will be gone lar...but at least U dont make a loss with a spolit HDD.
if the shop dont do an exchange for U...then u will have to depend on the warranty of ur HDD...and HDD repair can take months...so in the meantime,U might need to get another HDD to tide urself over. -
