External hard drive of Segate is the best because it’s service center gives promt service. Samsung’s service center is unable to give proper service. Once sansung service center replaced my new hard disk with old one. I pretested and after a week they replaced it.

Bad-sector problem is always with samsung not at all with segate.

I have a Compaq CQ60 laptop that has a 160 GB harddrive. The processor is Duo Core 2.16Ghz and 2 mb RAM. Is it better for me to change the hard disk to a 320 or 500GB or is it better to get an external hard drive?

You can consider buying external hard drive

My external hard disk drive is making a noise. Is that a problem?

Posted by admin on August 26th, 2010 and filed under external hard disk drives | 2 Comments »

I bought it 4 months ago and have all my movies and photos stored on it. It’s 160GB and starts making a noise everytime data is transferred. It still works perfectly but I’m just woried that I might loose all my stuff….It’s like a disk spinning type of noise

no problem at all. this is seen by the fact that it is making the noise when you are transferring files, it means it is working. Just like when you computer sometimes may make noise from time to time, it is just working its little heart out. Dont worry about it. I have two extrenal hard drives that i store my important files on like my photos and videos, and i trust them, they makes noise from time to time but that is because they are working !! hope it helps. x

COuld I put a restore disk on a external hard drive?

Posted by admin on August 24th, 2010 and filed under external hard disk drives | 1 Comment »

I have a Emachine laptop and the dvd drive doesn’t want to work because of a virus or some sort. I have the restore disk a external hard drive. is it possible to put the restore disk files on the external drive so that I could run it on my laptop to recover the emachine back to the original way?

No, at least not legally. I’d spend $20 on a new cd drive. Or i guess you could borrow a friend’s cd drive and hook it up to your sata or ide cable and try that way. Are you restoring because of the virus that you think has affected your cd drive? Seems a little overkill to me…

my external hard drive is not visible in my computer or disk management?

Posted by admin on August 15th, 2010 and filed under external hard disk drives | 2 Comments »

My external hard disk is visible in device manager but not in my computer. In disk management it is visible but has no letter assigned to it and right clicking doesn’t allow you to do anything such as partition. What am I doing wrong?

if there is no letter try going to controll panel and then onto administrative tools and then computer management then storage then disk management. If your hard drive is in there right click and click change drive letter and path
