704896 2008-09-14 00:54:00 lol u cant even get the LED going:punk :punk :badpc: As Trev mentioned - could be a faulty unit then. Return it and get another one. wainuitech (129)
704897 2008-09-14 05:32:00 i figured out it wasnt a faulty one
i took it back to the shop and they tried it on a computer there and it worked fine.
so today i returned that and got a WD my book "essential" edition and when i tried that it didnt work as well either. when the installation thing comes up like its copying files and then it says "an error occured during the installation of this device the data is invalid"

could it be something wrong with my computer
i got all the windows updates as well but it doesnt do anything

704899 2008-09-14 05:39:00 Unplug the hdd, go to device manager, delete all the entries under USB Controllers, then reboot. Plug the hdd back in see what happens

What service pack is on it?

Double click on the entry in device manager, then driver tab / update driver.

See what happens
