haha...long since i last updated.. i've put up a poll though..see up there ^^^
okok.. lets not beat around the bush..... recently i bought an external hard drive to keep all my things like photos.. animes... bla bla bla.. i kept alot of photos actually.. loves to keep all my memories, so i bought a myBook Essential Edition! 500G!..seems cool huh.. its priced around 165 now.. and 195 for the Firewire and usb one i think..
BUT!! just around 1 month! i got this my book below, i died on me yesterday! OMG! i realli thought it was a goner! and i frantically search on the web abt my problem but it seems tht alot of ppl have been getting problems with this device too! n it seems like not many websites or forums shows the solution for the problems thts with this thing down there... so WTH!! am i going to lose all the things inside!!! and so.. in the end.. i found some solution at one forum.. its the ONLY forum i found with some solutions as there r lots of ppl complaining abt this n tht...ok.. let me list out the problems..
first.. since i always tranfer my files so i never remove the usb from my lappie.. and it seems tht this external hard disk drive will automatically "autoplay" even when its not in use.. i dunno wads wrong with it also..sometimes i even thought if sumone is hacking my ext hard disk drive!!!?? hahaha... cause while i was sleeping it will auto run u see... so maybe tht resulted it to somehow spoil ba... i cant access any files inside as it said "its not accessible" or sumthing like tht..
2ndly.. this hdd use a cheap chips according to the forum.. which cause it to malfunction..
3rdly...its realli hard to get help! haha... i found onli one forum and the support and service from this brand WEStern digital is very bad... thts also wad i heard from the forum...which i realli not sure la...hahaha..
actually i very bo liao hor... talk so much abt this dumb ext hdd.. cause i realli thought im realli gonna lose everything... anyway the solution i found in the forum is to remove the casing.. which kinda dangerous cause u may broke it... then took out the HDD which SATA version one.. n connect it to ur desktop.. n u may~~ get ur files back... hopefully... n i tried.. n guess wad... this time..
theres something wrong with the hdd itself -.-" omg! haha..so i frantically search for the solution again.. so i found this solution "chkdsk.exe" which is a command prompt in window xp to fix or sumhow repair n maintain the HDD in good condition.. so i run it according to the instructions.. b4! reading any warning....... n then
YAY! my HDD got back working again!!! but! some files r lost though.. saddened! although all my files onli used 20% of the space but it showed in the properties tht im using around 45% of the HDD space! weird?! haha.. so i in the end found another solution which is to show system files... n then i retrieve some of the files which is not seen.. n then ya... all files got back according to the amount used but still some of my files r gone~~~ hmmmm.... dunno la.. now using GetDataBack program to see if i can get them back.. but most of photos r back though..but.. nvm la.. at least managed to save them but i dun realli dare to put things in le la....hahaha...
so my conclusion is.. try not to buy tht thing above lor.. maybe some lucky ones can use it for long la..but better be safe than sorry right? haha.. i bought it because of it cool looks anyway..haha.. if i had knew this would happen, i would bought a ext HDD casing instead... which is very common nowadays.. hahaha...
