Got a 500GB drive in my media player with loads of files on it, full tv series and films. I can play it through the tv with no problems but it isn't accessible through my pc anymore.
When I connect it takes ages to appear in "my computer" and then starts autoplay but no files appear. Any attempt to access it stops "my computer" responding for ages before getting a message that the drive isn't accessible due to a i/o device problem.
In disk management the drive appears but has no file system. I removed the drive from the media case and connected it directly to my pc but that stopped my backup ide drive from appearing in my comp.
Seems I need to replace the drive but would hate to lose all my media files.
Is there anything I can do or am I just fooked?
Regards.......Chookey
