![]() ![]() Through MS-DOS I manually disengaged the Windows XP firewire bus control, waited for a couple minutes and through DOS reactivated the Windows XP firewire controller, nope. Tried going into the "control panel" and went into "add hardware" as to see if the system at least detected enough to consider it new hardware, nope. Unplugging the power adapter from it's socket, letting it sit for up to 5 minutes and plugging it back into power, nope. Unplugging the firewire cable for a minute and plugging it back in to see if Windows detects the drive, nope. I've tried all sorts of "quick fixes", but none have worked. ![]() ![]() Now within these past several hours, the drive drops off my Windows XP radar and can not be detected. This is just weird, for all day today while my computer has been on, not one problem, not one hick up, not one fart, no nothing.but a fully working external drive. I'd be dishonest if I said that I knew why it checked out. Well after close to 5 years worth of use, I think my Western Digital external 1TB hard drive went "bye bye"! I'm not really pissing and moaning about this, I have no reason to gripe, the drive has served me very well for again, close to 5 years.
