732647 2008-12-26 21:01:00 hi, i just bought a external hard drive yesterday and it keeps disconecting and reconnecting randomly. Like 15 times before it setles and sometimes if i move it. Anyone know why? LarsJohann (13010)
732648 2008-12-26 22:14:00 Sounds a bit like a lose / intermittent connection someplace.

With it plugged in, try gently wriggling the connection from the lead where it plugs into the Drive - I have a external drive thats a little like that also, its a lose USB connection Mini plug (small plug) not the standard A heres the Difference (www.imagef1.net.nz) If thats Ok try a different USB port on the PC.

If its faulty take it back - even better if you can show its disconnecting - some shop assistants don't believe customers.
