| 681428 | 2008-06-23 09:53:00 | What's the interface you're using? Firewire or USB/ USB2 I used to have issues with a USB drive that didn't like large amounts of data being transferred. Solution pick a few files rather than a whole folder. |

| 681432 | 2008-06-26 01:31:00 | Try a different USB cable? Tried opening the case and seeing if the hard drive is still plugged in properly? |

| 681434 | 2008-06-27 01:00:00 | Manufacturer is Seagate. The case is SSK. I haven't tried a different cable. When I tried to use chkdsk it ejected itself at 16% could this be virus? |

| 681435 | 2008-06-27 01:31:00 | I had a similar thing. It was a faulty HD enclosure (the circuitry in the enclosure) You will need to run chkdsk with the hard drive OUT of the USB enclosure: plugged into the motherboard to test it in this instance |
