so, a while back i got a 250gb external usb harddrive, and it worked wonderfully for a while, then my computer spazzed out and restarted itself a few times and now the harddrive will not be recognized by my computer when i plug it in. when i plug it in, it turns on and i can hear/feel the drive spinning, but it never shows up in my computer and i can't access it any other way i've tried. i really freaking need that space, and i've let the harddrive just kinda sit around since it broke, but yeah. i need the space, i have like 4gb left on my 32gb main partition, lmao.

Warranty?

erm, well now i'm annoyed. i just plugged the drive in after finding it, because i forgot where i put it. i remember i had asked you about this drive once before when it first was an issue, peter. anyway, i just plugged it in and it worked even though i've done nothing to it since the last time i used it, it's been sitting on my floor in a plastic bag with some other stuff for like 4 or 5 months and now suddenly it works. thanks for your help although asking about the warranty spiraled into this whole complicated thing for me as newegg took simpletech off their list of brands, and i couldnt' find the drive on the simpletech site. oh well.

 

thanks!

Anything can happen with computers, glad it works again without even knowingly doing anything.

i found some funny stuff i didnt' even remember i had, lol. although i'm kinda annoyed, i just emptied my recycle bin earlier and i had some movies in there that i deleted for space :/
