Hi,

I've been using my 1TB external hardrive flawlessly for the past 2 years until today. While I was installing NBA 2k11 in the external harddrive (Like I do with every other software/game), the install setup suddenly stops and says that my external harddrive has been disconnected. I try unplugging then plugging it back to my usb port (same one) then all of a sudden it seems to have gotten slower like if it was using the USB 1.0 port. Now it takes at least 3-5 seconds into opening each folder. Long detection time. I've tried plugging it to different ports but to no avail. Just to see whether it wasn't a USB port problem, I've connecteed my thumb drive into one of them and the computer sees it as if it was an ordinary USB 2.0 drive.

I really need help because I have a lot of stored pictures and videos which I do not want to lose!

PS: Out of 1TB there is only 254 GB left
