External HardDrive Problem (please help :( )

[Exavier]

if it doesn't come up at all I know My Computer > Manage is good..I've never had USB crash my explorer though..sounds startup related, do you need the files on it? if not see if you can get lucky and clone data off it/wipe it

Ill give it a go, it workd on another laptop perfect to ill save the files onto that and make sure they all works on that too

okay set your folders views to tiles or details ..that will stop the explorer crashing for now ....there is a fix and it has to do with the video files trying to display as tiny .Jpg's ...I just cant remember right this very second the real fix ..but its a codec upgrade ....I believe its .Xvid that needs to be upgraded.

 

[Conzo137]
