External HDD Keeps Disconnecting Itself
Anyone know why my external HDD keeps disconnecting itself?
It used to do it with my old PC, and I thought it was due to the slow processor, but the new one should be fast enough. Also, my other 120gb external HDD used to do it too, so I always thought it was my old PC's fault. But now that my new PC is doing it, I'm stumped.
When I first connected it to the new PC to upload the old PC's files (using SynbackSE), it stayed connected the whole time (several hours).
And I was never asked to format it.
Now it disconnects every few minutes, then when it reconnects, the usual popups appear and a request to format the disk.
Does anyone know how to solve this please?
thanks
