I am not all that knowledgable about computers but have recently purchased a seagate external hard drive 250G. It has been great until the other day. i giot a message to say that the F:\ was not communicating with my computer. i have managed to have it communicate, however it has been intermitant. I have had the problem of O/I Connection but that has gone. The external hard drive is registering with my computer and all the data is on the external harddrive, however, if i click on any file it does not open up. If i click on a music file it opens to the music player but does not register the file i am wanting to listen to. what can i do and are there some settings on my computer to check , or is there a problem on the external hard drive? i hope you can help me.
