Hello,
Ive done alot of research and still haven't come up with a solution. I recently picked up a new WD 2TB External HD. After getting it about half full, I started getting "delayed write file" errors and now can't even access the disc. It shows up as "local disk" in my computer and when i try to go in, the whole computer bogs down and im not able to access the disk.
Im running a fresh install of windows vista 32bit. USB ports all work fine with other devices and external drives. This WD hard drive has the same issues on XP machines as well. Im really only looking to get about 20 gigs of stuff off, the rest of the data I can re-populate. I believe its a problem with the MBR, and i'm wondering if theres any way to recreate or fix it without having to format the whole drive?
