Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - WD 500 Gig Turns On... Doesn't Respond To Computer

Thundaar · 07-06-2008, 02:52 PM

Hey,

Whenever I plug in my Western Digital 500 Gigabyte Hard Drive with a firewire and a power plug, it turns on, but the files aren't showing up on my computer and when I click on the drive in the explorer menu, it won't open and the window freezes. I have no idea what to do. It turns on, but I can't access the files from it. Autoplay shows up, but it doesn't show that the computer is reading the files. The ring of light moves, however, it stays still afterwords and just lights up without any indication that the drive is working. I also hear a tiny buzzing sound that goes on and off rapidly over and over.

I need any help I can get and will appreciate all the help I can get.

Thank you
