If I open file explorer (this computer) - I see the drive as 'local drive e:' - not as 'my Passport' (which was its original name). If I open Disk Management it will open a frozen white window and will be stuck forever, not responding and slowing the PC. The white light on the drive is blinking- but nothing happens.Įven ejecting the drive via the taskbar gets forzen.
It is stuck, slowing down the PC and file explorer - and undetectable.
Now I can't access my external HD at all. The the desktop went black, was frozen for a while, and finally the whole process crashes back to desktop. I was going to use to to transfer around 100 GB of video data (gameplay capture 4K 60fps 55mbps) - after around 30% it said 'can't open file - can't read' or something like that. It had some important videos, images and content.
