OK, I went to back up all my important info to my external detachable hard drive today and just like last time it said the disk was corrupt and had to be reformatted. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? After I backup my info I detach it, so it shouldn't be subject to power spikes or anything else. I'm only backing up documents and pics, so I'm not sure why there is such a problem.
Any ideas on what is going on? --------------------   |

Check the manufacturers website for some disk diagnostic tools. Run the tools and make sure there aren't any bad clusters. If that doesn't work, assuming the drive is USB, make sure when done that you go up into the system area (where clock is) and left click on the USB icon, and say "safely remove hardware". That will send a kill signal and shut it down so it can be removed without some other application accessing the data.
Let me know if it helps. |
