Love the forum.

Question for the group I have an Iomega 250 GB External Hard disk that I use to back up the different computers in house plus store movies and music.

About a week ago I plugged it in, the drive immediately started to spin up as normal but Windows (XP) popped up an error that USB device was not recognized and unusable. Tried it on another machine and got same result. Waited a week and still unusable.

Any ideas?

The info isn;t ritical as none of the hard drives have crashed but there is a lot of back ups from old work computers plus music and movies not elsewhere.

Thanks
