Hi All,
I have an external Seagate Pushbutton Backup 300GB USB HardDiskDrive (ST330062 2A). It works perfectly (most of the time), no problems at all. It's a few months old, never been dropped, the power supply is fine and the USB cable/connection is fine. It reads and writes fine also but there is one problem that bugs me and I don't know if it's the HDD itself or a PC problem...
Randomly, the Ext HDD drops it's USB connection to the PC and then reconnects again. Every time it reconnects I get a small window showing the files on the HDD being quickly scanned then the usual window asking 'how do I want to view the software on this HDD' etc. This is driving me mad, it's particularly annoying when trying to burn a CD or DVD from this HDD because during the burn process it often drops its USB connection thus ruining the disk. Sometimes it will sit for hours without a problem, other times it dis/re-connects every few minutes or so.
I have updated WinXP-SP2. Drive is
Any help appreciated thanks and happy new year.
