External hard drive

[ben_ben]

I dropped my external hard drive and now my computer will only install the drivers but i cant transfer files to or from my hard drive.

open it up and check the connections?

 

[ben_ben]

nothing appears to be wrong

 

[peterhuang913]

hard drive must be damaged

 

[ben_ben]

is there any way to get the data?

 

[peterhuang913]

Take the hard drive out and hardboot it from IDE

 

[ben_ben]

how do you do that?

Open up the enclosure. Take out the HD. Plug it in as slave. See if it works.
