no, this is the big 500 GB portable disk drive, and theres no point in having it if it just keeps crashing my computersOMG i thought this was about a pendrive with the L'cie brand on it hahahaha
so sinse mine uses K: ii should put chkdsk K: /R ?You could try repairing it with CHKDSK, it worked for a friend of mine who was having similar problems:
Go to START
Go to RUN
type in cmd (command-prompt opens up)
type in chkdsk #: /R (where you should put drive letter in place of #)
This takes a really long time from what I heard.
i'll give it a try
The problem is your syntax.It should be chkdsk #: /R (where you should put the volume number in place of #) To find out the volume go to disk manager (Right click on "My Computer" and choose manage then choose "Disk Manager"). You'll find your drives listed as disk 0, disk 1, etc. The number after disk is the volume number.i'll give it a try
EDIT
everytime i try, it gives me some lip about a VOLUME and then says i have to unmount my VOLUME of the drive... or something like that, it gives me some confusing words
Your friend is correct.Also make sure it's formatted a NTFS and not FAT32, according to one of my pals, a FAT32 format has trouble with transferring big files.(not too sure about this one though, from what I gather, it fixed it for some and made it worse for others, I've never gotten the opportunity to mess around with an external HDD so I'll ask some people who have.)
im absolutely sure its NFTSThe problem is your syntax.It should be chkdsk #: /R (where you should put the volume number in place of #) To find out the volume go to disk manager (Right click on "My Computer" and choose manage then choose "Disk Manager").

Whether it's NTFS or not is another matter. You should still run chkdsk.im absolutely sure itsThe problem is your syntax.It should be chkdsk #: /R (where you should put the volume number in place of #) To find out the volume go to disk manager (Right click on "My Computer" and choose manage then choose "Disk Manager").

i unrared the .rar i put in first once i got it onto my hardrive (this is old Zeus: Master of Olympus and Poseidon: Master of Atlantis isos, sinse i can't use the disks anymore) and got them working fineMake sure you un-rar it to make sure it's not corrupt. Rar files corrupt easily and given that your drive may have a bad sector that rar, unbeknownst to you, may be corrupt.
i tried, however, evenw when putting in the drive number, it doesn't recognize itOK, now, did you ever run check disk?
